KB 170: Enabling Network Topology panel in PowerConnect Splunk app version 7.2.0+

Description

The Java System Overview dashboard first added in the PowerConnect Splunk app version 7.2.0+ includes a new Network Topology panel that is hidden by default.

Cause

Resolution

The visualization is not embedded in the PowerConnect Splunk. To enable it:

1. Install the Network Topology visualization found on Splunkbase.

   1. As this app is not supported by Splunk and no longer in development, we are not liable for any compatibility issues now or in the future.
