Manual Mapping
Last updated on 21 August, 2024Manual mapping helps you to complete your maps and define the relationship between two nodes with a single click. Manual Mapping connections participate in RCA. To setup RCA, see Enabling Dependent Alert Mapping.
Requirements

- An ERI must be available for the resources from which the connections for the maps are created.
Using Manual Mapping

2. Navigate to Mappings > Saved Maps.
3. Click any saved maps for which you want to see the maps. You can also create a map manually.
4. On the Mapping page, enable Manual Mapping.
5. Click the required node to add a connection between the required resources.
Recommendation: Drag the connection arrow from the source node and drop it on the target node to create an connection.
An Add Connection pop-up box is displayed.
6. Select the required connection type for the desired resources and click Connect.
Note: If you select connection type as Routing or Network, you must provide additional details in the Add Connection dialog box.
You can click Connection details to see the connection details for the added connection. For more information, see Viewing Interface Mapping.
7. (Optional) Click Add Resources 
Once the manual connection is set, you can see the connections in the Maps tab, resources, resource groups, alerts, and so on.
Note: You must save the map if you want to view the manual connection connection again on that map.
