Monitor Concerto Orchestrator
For supported software information, click here.
You use the Monitor lifecycle to display a wide variety of information about the sites in your network. You can view summary information for all sites and for specific sites, and you can drill down for more granular views.
Monitor Lifecycle Views
The Monitor lifecycle screen can be displayed in three different views:
- Honeycomb
- Map
- Table
A Summary section appears at the right of the screen in all views and shows information for all sites.
Click the 
Expand icon in the Summary section to display a detailed view of the consolidated information for all sites.
Click the Expand icon in an individual card to display a detailed view of the card.
Honeycomb View
To display all sites in Honeycomb view, select Monitor in the left menu bar and click the 
Honeycomb icon at the bottom of the screen.
In the Honeycomb view, each site is displayed as a hexagon. The types and colors of the lines of each site hexagon have different meanings:
- Dotted line around site hexagon—There is no communication between the Director node and the device site.
- Gray line around site hexagon—The device was never connected to the Director node through the ZTP process
- Other colors—The lines around each site hexagon are color-coded to indicate the highest-level active security alarm for the site:
- Red—Critical
- Orange—Major
- Gray—Minor
- Blue—Informational
The hexagon view displays the following information:
The 
Gear icon indicates that the configure publication status requires you to take an action. To see the required action, hover over the Gear icon.
To see the number of alarms for the site, hover over the Alarms box. The alarm boxes are color coded, as follows:
- Red—Critical
- Orange—Major
- Gray—Minor
- Blue—Informational
To display alarm details, click the Alarms box.
To display information about the appliances at a site, double-click on the site hexagon. The Summary screen for the appliances at the site displays.
A hexagon displays for each appliance on the site and a summary of appliance information for the site displays on the right.
To display summary information for a specific appliance, click on the appliance hexagon.
To display an action menu for an appliance, hover over the appliance hexagon. The following screen displays. Releases 10.2.1 and later support the Run Diagnostics and Monitor Appliance menu items.
In Releases 10.2.1 and later, you can discover single-tenant and multitenant appliances associated with a tenant that had already been created in Versa Director before they were attached to Concerto. Once you discover these appliances in Concerto, they are added to the Monitor lifecycle and are added to the Monitor lifecycle screen based on their location. For example, each of the hexagons in the screenshot below represents a site that contains an appliance that was configured in Versa Director and discovered by Concerto. The hexagons are created automatically and given a name based on the location of the appliance, as configured in Versa Director. If multiple appliances are discovered in one location, all of the appliances are added to the site hexagon.
As shown in the figure below, for Releases 10.2.1 and later you can run diagnostics and monitor a discovered appliance, but you cannot edit the configuration of a discovered appliance. See Run Diagnostics on an Appliance and Monitor an Appliance for more information.
Map View
To display all sites in Map view, select Monitor in the left menu bar and click the 
Map icon.
To display the number of appliances at the site, hover over a site. To toggle between the Summary screen for all sites and the Summary screen for the specific site, click the site icon.
Double-click a site on the map to display information for that site. The view changes to Honeycomb view.
For Releases 10.2.1 and later, Map view displays connection lines between sites and, by default, displays site-to-site connection lines. You can choose the type of connection lines to display from the Connection pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen. The options are:
- Site-to-Site Traffic

- High Packet Loss
- Reachability
Table View
To display all sites in Table view:
- Select Monitor in the left menu bar and click the
Table icon. The view switches to Table view and displays all current sites.
