Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for generating a multi-layer network map from network configuration data. The method receives network configuration data that defines network components and connections between the network components for a network that spans one or more datacenters. Based on the received network configuration data, the method generates multiple data layers for a multi-layer interactive map of the network. Different data layers include different network components and connections. The method generates a visual representation of the network for each data layer. Each visual representation includes a map of the network at a different level of hierarchy.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for displaying a multi-layer network map for a network configured in at least one datacenter. The method displays a visualization of a first layer of the multi-layer network map. The visualization includes a first set of selectable items corresponding to components of the network and connections between the components. At least a subset of the first set of selectable items link to other layers of the network map. The method receives input selecting one of the selectable items. In response to the input, the method displays a visualization of a second layer of the network map. The second layer provides information about the network configuration at a different level of detail than the first layer. The visualization of the second layer includes a second set of selectable items corresponding to components of the network and connections between the components.
