Show latency and packet loss on parent/child topology
This will be a good way to easily see trouble spots on a network. The colour or thickness of the lines connecting nodes can be used to indicate packet loss and ping response time

Robert SanderThe parent child topology is created from the parent property in the host configuration.
It does know nothing about the physical network. There is no mapping between the parent/child connections and the physical interfaces.
Packet loss and ping times are monitored via a PING service check between two hosts (or the monitoring server and the host). Again there is no connection to the parent / child relationship.
How would you start to correlate all these? -

AndyI would rather see the Network Topology being enhanced to collect this information, and an option to replace the parent/child relationship with the Network topology data. Using the IP address discovery we could at least identify the switch port something like a server or VM is connected to and display data on that switch port (error rate, packets etc)
