I am running NPM 9.5 SP1 and I was wondering if we add more information using variable on network links using tooltip. I know that this can be achieved when we assign network interface to an object but I am looking for similar pop up on network links with more information.

Thanks

Network Atlas currently does not allow to customize tooltips over links.

Yes I did look at it but couldn't find anything that would help me. I was hoping somebody who has good knowledge of Network Atlas would tell if that is possible or not. Or, that is a feature that will be implemented later.

Thanks

I agree with avnishb, the ability to modify the tooltip is there if you make the object an interface (and not a switch for arguments sake).  But not if you create a network link between two devices (two switches) and specify that the link is between 0/1 on switch one and 0/2 on switch two.

When you then hover over the network link - in this scenario - the only info displayed is the two ports that the link is between.  I would like to see not only the ability to add info to the network links, but also as a 'feature request' (maybe in the wrong section of the forum) the ability to have the actual link change colour (or style) depending on the % utilisation of the available bandwidth, I think that this would be more useful than the tool-tip as you could then see at a glance which of your network links are near saturation, or at least above 'acceptable % utilization.

If shortcuts worked, they wouldn't be shortcuts!

Can this be requested for future release including changing or color based on utilization of interfaces ?

Thanks

I have added you to the existing request for color based utilization and added a new enhancement request for the other to the system

I assume that means you have added us both to the request?  Thanks for the very fast response.

Thank you kindly, do you happen to know how far up the 'feature request list' this functionality is?
