WHAT TO EXPECT
The Network page in wXcked Eye provides user with a high-level view of all their connected cloudSwXtches. Users can easily go between different cloudSwXtches and view their stats and the stats of associated xNICs. In addition, a new generalized side panel allows users to jump between cloudSwXtches.
In this section, we will walk you through the Network page and how it improves navigation between cloudSwXtches.
Introduction
The Network page is the landing page of wXcked Eye. It segments cloudSwXtches into byte sized cards with some top level information, such as the name, the cloud provider, the status, the number of attached xNICs, and the flow of data for both Ingress and Egress in packets per seconds (pps). The Network Information panel shows the total number of cloudSwXtches and xNICs with the cumulative total in pps for both Ingress and Egress.
Selecting a cloudSwXtch
At start-up, users will need to select what they would like to be their “Current swXtch” in order to populate the rest of the wXcked Eye UI. Otherwise, the navigation menu will be empty. Selecting a cloudSwXtch will highlight it in the Network page in orange and will create a cloudSwXtch information ribbon at the top of wXcked Eye. In addition, the navigation menu will now link out to other wXcked Eye pages.
At the top of each page in wXcked Eye, the Current cloudSwXtch ribbon will display relevant information regarding the cloudSwXtch a user is currently on.
A cloudSwXtch's membership in a Network is dependent on whether or not it is involved in a high availability configuration. For more information on how to set up high availability in wXcked Eye, please visit their respective articles under Configure cloudSwXtch in wXcked Eye.
Navigating using cloudSwXtch Information Card
In each cloudSwXtch Information card, users will find two buttons linking you to additional information and metrics within wXcked Eye. This includes:
