Layer

Description​

A layer is a kind of container that allows combining multiple monitoring objects, even if they have no explicit dependencies on each other.

Appointment​

The layer enables:

  • Monitoring multiple objects at once without switching between models
  • Configuring a role model for access control

Control Panel​

This panel allows you to search for services, set time ranges, select layers, and quickly switch between different view modes.

Example control panel:

Панель управления

The control panel on the Layers page is similar to the panel on the graph page, with the only difference being an additional Create Layer button next to the layer selection dropdown.

Allows you to find services. After entering a query, the first matching service will be highlighted.

Use the arrows on the right side of the search bar to navigate between found services. The numbers show the current item's position and total matches (e.g., 1/5).

note

You can also use the Enter key to jump to the next search result and Escape to reset the search.

Layer Selection​

This dropdown menu allows quick switching between layers.

Time Range Selection​

This control element enables flexible configuration of the time range for displayed data. The dropdown also includes settings for automatic refresh intervals. To activate it, select a period and click Start. To stop, click Stop.

For more details on working with the time filter, see the Working with Time Filters section.

Data Refresh​

Clicking this button triggers a manual data refresh from the server. Data also refreshes automatically with every time range change.
