Techniques for container management and topology visualization are provided. A network topology of a data center is determined, where the network topology includes a plurality of physical servers. A plurality of containers executing in the data center is identified, and for each respective container of the plurality of containers, a respective server from the plurality of physical servers that is executing the respective container is determined. An augmented network topology is generated by correlating the network topology and the determined server executing each container, where the augmented network topology indicates relationships among the plurality of containers and physical resources in the data center.

Container workload monitoring and topology visualization in data centers

What is disclosed is network management software which displays a widget for tracking a particular characteristic of a network. The widget title bar contains a first and second indicator. The first indicator represents the severity of the most severe alert for the particular characteristic being tracked by the widget. The second indicator is a numerical value of the characteristic that caused the alert.

Minimized display of monitored events with live severity level and count indications

The data ports in a network are displayed in a list in descending order based on either the higher transmit or receive data value of the port. Therefore, the port with the highest of either the transmit or receive data value would be displayed on the top of the list. The port with the second highest of the transmit or receive data value would be displayed second on the list. This process would continue for all data ports that are displayed. The other of the transmit or receive data values of the port would be displayed but would not affect the ordering on the display.

Display of port transmit and receive parameters sorted by higher of transmit or receive value

One embodiment of the present invention provides a computer system. The computer system includes a display mechanism, a storage, and a migration management mechanism. The storage stores a data structure indicating one or more port profiles. The migration management mechanism identifies one or more port profiles associated with a target switch for a migrating virtual machine, wherein the target switch is coupled to a target host machine of the virtual machine and recommends whether the target switch is suitable for the virtual machine by examining an identifier to the virtual machine in the port profiles associated with the target switch using the display mechanism.
