So here is my latest project. I have mapped out a network core using orion.npm.interfaces, Orion.Routing.Neighbors, and Orion.NodeIPAddresses tables. I basically query my network for interfaces matching a set description that I know to be existing on all core uplinks, then pull the ip address and interface index from ipaddresses table, then look in the orion.routing.neighbors table for a match to my nodes ip and populate that as a peer connection. I am using OSPF as the routing protocol to map ospf adjaceny, but you could use whatever protocol you use for an igp. I use my interface details including node name and interface stats and peer to build network nodes and connect them via edges using visjs library. I am sorry you cant see much as I had to blur it out to protect proprietary network information. But each node has its hostname label and each interface if you hover over it shows traffic stats, errors, discards, etc in real time (well since last refresh). I plan to make the links double in width every time it goes from meg to 10 meg, 100 meg, gig etc so the thickness will demonstrate how busy the link is. Nodes and interfaces will also soon color code to current status. I think its pretty cool. What do you guys think? I am also thinking about a view option where you select a node id and a number then graphing that node as center of universe and showing all connections from that node out to the level you select. What I mean is if you picked node and 1 it would show all neighbors...if you picked node and 2 it would show all neighbors and their neighbor...etc etc. Basically if you have a regional problem you could zoom out a few levels and quickly look at stats on the links in that region.
enjoy!
