Map Details Grid

■

Dashboard

The Dashboard provides the overview of the traffic policies and their health status. You can hide or unhide the Dashboard using the Dashboard icon in the Menu. The Dashboard section includes the Overview section and Health Status section.

■

Overview section

Displays the total number of maps, number of maps based on the deployment status such as Success, Failed, Undeployed, and Others (status including Pending, Partial Success, and Damaged).

Sorts the maps in the Map Details Grid based on your selection of items in the Overview section. For example, if you click the Success item, the maps with Success status are listed in the grid followed by other statuses. This section displays the selected item labels at the top of the Dashboard. The Map Details Grid displays the maps in the sorted order of selected items in the Overview section.

■

Health Status section

Represents the overall health of all traffic policies created in the Traffic Policy interface in a color-coded horizontal bar with segments for Healthy (green), Warning (Amber), and Unhealthy (red).

Displays the statuses with the count, when you hover over the horizontal bar as shown below.

Sorts the traffic policies in the Map Details Grid based on the health status you select.

The following table lists the health status and its descriptions.

Color	Health Status	Description
Green	Healthy	All components in the Traffic Policy (sources, applications, destinations) are up and passing traffic as expected.
Amber	Warning	One or more components are in a partially available state. Traffic may be impacted, but some traffic can still flow.
Red	Unhealthy	One or more components are down or misconfigured, and traffic is likely not flowing as expected for this policy.

Map Details Grid

The Map Details Grid displays the maps that are created in the Traffic Policy with the tags, deployment status, health status, and so on.

The following table displays the different columns in the Map Details Grid and their description.

Grid Columns	Description
Map Alias	Name of the Traffic Policy.
Tags	Tags linked to the Traffic Policy. To know how to create, work with and add tags to maps, refer to Tags.
Source -> Destination	Displays a visual representation of the map components that are used in the Traffic Policy. - Application - Application Ruleset - By Rule - Collector - Destination - Pass All - Source
Deployment Status	Displays the deployment status of the Traffic Policy. Valid values are Success, Failed, Undeployed, Pending, Partial Success, and Damaged.
Health Status	Displays the health status of the Traffic Policy. Valid values are Healthy, Warning, and Unhealthy.
Settings	Enables you to add or remove columns from the grid view.
Select All	Enables you to select the traffic polices in the current page, select the traffic policies in all pages, or unselect all the traffic policies. When you click the Select All Pages option, all the traffic policies in the interface are selected and Clear option is given as shown below.

The following table lists the possible deployment statuses for the Traffic Policy and suggested actions to be done for each status.

Deployment Status	Definition	Suggested Action
Success	The Traffic Policy was accepted at GigaVUE‑FM level and traffic flow was deployed correctly.	No action required. Optionally verify the device‑side maps and statistics if you want to confirm counters are incrementing as expected.
Failed	The Traffic Policy was not configured correctly and not accepted or deployed at GigaVUE‑FM level.	View Troubleshooting details for the policy to review the error message. Check device reachability and configuration (ports, GigaSMART operations, licenses). Fix the reported issue and deploy the Traffic Policy again.
Pending	The Traffic Policy deployment request is in progress or waiting for device feedback. GigaVUE‑FM has started the deployment but the final status from all devices is not yet available.	Wait for the deployment to complete. If the status remains Pending for an extended period, verify device connectivity and job status in GigaVUE‑FM, then redeploy the Traffic Policy if needed. To redeploy the Traffic Policy, use Resubmit All option from the Actions menu.
Partial Success	The Traffic Policy was deployed successfully on some devices or components, but failed on others—for example, some maps or logical components (vPorts, GigaSMART operation chains) could not be created or synchronized.	View Troubleshooting details for the policy to review the error message. Review per‑device or per‑component errors, and correct the failing resources (such as fixing ports, GigaSMART operation resources, or missing maps). Redeploy the Traffic Policy and confirm it moves to Success. To redeploy the Traffic Policy, use Resubmit All option from the Actions menu.
Undeployed	The Traffic Policy configuration exists in GigaVUE‑FM but is not currently deployed on any devices, or it has been explicitly undeployed from the devices. No traffic is being steered by this policy.	This status applies to policies that have never been deployed which means the policy configuration is saved in GigaVUE‑FM but is not applied on the device. If you want the policy to be active, select the Traffic Policy and choose Deploy from the Actions menu or from the canvas. If the policy should remain inactive, no action is required.
Damaged	GigaVUE‑FM detected that the deployed state of the Traffic Policy does not fully match the intended configuration—for example, some underlying maps or components are missing or out of sync during/after deployment or configuration sync.	Use View Troubleshoot and Deployment Status to identify missing or inconsistent components. Resolve the underlying issues (for example, recreate missing maps or fix device problems) and redeploy the Traffic Policy. If the policy remains Damaged and is no longer needed, you can delete it and recreate a clean policy.

The Map Details Grid includes a Three-dots menu that enables you to edit, delete, view map details, view map statistics, and troubleshoot the Traffic Policy if there are any errors. Refer to Manage Traffic Policy for more information.

View Migration Results

Select this to view the migration status of the existing fabric maps to traffic policies.

■

Fabric Port Groups

■

Tool Templates

Fabric Port Groups

A Fabric Port Group (FPG) can be defined as a logical collection of tool ports that reside on different clusters. Each of the tool port in the Fabric Port Group receives load-balanced traffic. Thus, allowing load balancing between tool ports that reside on different clusters. However, you can also use FPG within a cluster.

To know more information on creating, managing and configuring fabric port groups for a Traffic Policy refer to Create and Manage Fabric Port Group.

Tool Templates

Tool templates are pre-built profiles that define a set of applications including the metadata attributes to export to your monitoring tools. You can select the required tool template when configuring a Traffic Policy for an Application Intelligence solution, and reuse it across multiple exporters and devices.

To know more information on creating customized tool templates, refer to Create and Manage Custom Tool Template section.
