The NSX Intelligence user interface provides several graphic elements to help with the visualization of the data center entities, traffic flows, and certain activities in your NSX-T Data Center environment.
The following table lists a glossary of NSX-T Data Center graphic elements that you might see in a NSX Intelligence visualization.
| Graphic Element | Description |
|---|---|
 |
This icon represents a group, which is a collection of VMs where security policies, including East-West firewall rules, can be applied. See Working with the Groups View. |
|
This icon represents a virtual machine (VM) that is part of your NSX-T Data Center. A VM can belong to more than one group. See Working with the VM View. |
|
This icon represents the public IPs in the Internet. If at least one VM in your NSX-T Data Center environment communicated with a public IP during the selected time period, that traffic flow is included in the current visualization. |
|
An IP address, such as a unicast, broadcast, or multicast IP, that participated in the network traffic activities during the selected time period. |
|
This icon is used for the group of VMs that do not belong to a group. |
|
An arrow represents a network traffic flow that occurred between two VMs during a selected time period. There are three different types of arrows: a dashed red-hued arrow for an Unprotected flow, a solid blue-hued arrow for a Blocked flow, and solid green-hued arrow for an Allowed flow. See Working with Traffic Flows. |
|
A node that has been selected as the current node in focus is surrounded with a dashed circle. It is the pinned node during the selection mode and the current view being displayed. |
|
This icon appears on a group node's border if the group was added in the NSX-T Data Center inventory during the selected time period. If NSX-T Data Center discovered a VM during the selected time period, the icon appears on that VM node's border. |
|
This icon appears on the group node's border if the group was deleted during the selected time period and the VM members were not deleted. On a VM node's border, this icon indicates that the VM was deleted during the selected time period. Although, a VM or group has been deleted, it still appears in the current visualization to give a historical view that the VM or group was removed during the selected time period. |
|
This icon appears whenever we see group and VMs together. For example, in a deep dive groups view or related VMs of a group.
The icon appears on a VM node's border in the following cases.
