Network Atlas is deprecated. SolarWinds recommends that you start using Intelligent Maps in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console to display maps of physical and logical relationships between entities monitored by the SolarWinds Platform products you have installed.

Additionally, you can import Network Atlas maps to Intelligent Maps.

Any objects monitored by SolarWinds NPM or SAM may be added to a Network Atlas map, such as:

  • SolarWinds NPM nodes, interfaces, volumes, and Universal Device Pollers (UnDPs)
  • SAM applications and components
  • VoIP & Network Quality Manager operations
  • Network Atlas maps
  • Network links

To add objects on a map:

  1. Open the Network Atlas.
  2. If you are creating a new map, click the Network Atlas button (), and click New Map.
  3. If you are adding objects to an existing map:
    1. Click the Network Atlas button ().
    2. Click Open Map.
    3. Navigate to your existing map, and click Open.

  5. Drag selected objects onto the drawing area.
    • To add all the objects of a type on a node to your map, click + next to the node name to reveal all its associated monitored network objects, and drag all objects in the object group onto the drawing area.
    • A check mark () next to a node or network resource indicates you have already added it to your map.
