Create a topology manually
StackState Self-hosted v4.6.x
This page describes StackState version 4.6.
StackState automatically creates a topology based on real-time data sources. There is typically no need to create a topology manually. There may be a few exceptions:
- Business processes are typically not discoverable and may therefore be placed on top of the topology manually.
- When developing an automatic topology synchronization, creating a topology manually at first and then exporting the results is a good first step.
The Static Topology StackPack can be used to import components and relations from external CSV files.
- 1.All component types, domains and layers that will be imported need to exist in StackState before the topology can be imported. The Static Topology StackPack installs the common StackPack as a dependency and that imports quite a few useful nodes into the system. If required, you can also add these manually in the StackState UI:
- Component types - Go to
Settings > Component Types > Add Component Types. The component type consists of aNamefield, aDescriptionfield (optional), and an Icon. - Domains - Go to
Settings > Domains > Add Domain. A domain consists of aNamefield, aDescriptionfield (optional), and anOrder. Domains are ordered from left to right in the topology visualization, where the left-most domain has the lowest value set forOrder. - Layers - Go to
Settings > Layers > Add Layer. A Layer consists of aNamefield, aDescriptionfield (optional), and anOrder. Layers are ordered from top to bottom in the topology visualization, where the top-most layer has the lowest value set forOrder.
