Deployment details
To access deployment details, use the more menu (…) from the deployment card or deployment table. In the graph view, the same menu can be accessed by right-clicking the DBMS node.
On the right side of the header, the view selector allows you to choose between two views: table view or graph view (see Graph view).
Table view
The table view shows topology data in a tabular format. Three different tables are selectable using the dropdown in the table header.
-
Servers
-
Databases
-
Database instances
Servers
The Servers table shows all servers in the deployment.
For more information, refer to the Operations Manual → Monitor servers for the SHOW SERVERS procedure, which is called by the plugin to obtain the data shown in the Servers table.
Databases and Database instances
The Databases table shows all databases in the deployment.
A Database instance in this context refers to an instance of a logical database running on a specific server.
For more information, refer to the Operations Manual → List databases for the SHOW DATABASES procedure, which is called by the plugin to obtain the data shown in the Databases and Database instances tables.
Graph view
In the graph view, the topology data is displayed as a graph. The graph shows the servers, databases, and database instances in the deployment.
Depending on whether the view is accessed from Instances or Deployment details, it shows either all deployments or just the selected deployment.
Legend
In addition to the graph, this view also contains the Results overview panel that enumerates the node labels and relationship types. If an entity is selected, the panel displays the properties of that entity.
The panel can be toggled with the button in the top right corner of the graph view. The Download button is located to the left of that button and allows you to download the graph as a PNG image.
In the bottom right corner of the graph view is a stack of buttons, from top to bottom:
-
Hierarchy view — Toggles between force-directed or hierarchical layouts of the graph.
-
Expand all — Expands all nodes in the graph, showing all relationships.
-
Collapse all — Collapses all nodes in the graph, hiding relationships.
-
Fit to screen — Fits the graph to the screen, adjusting the zoom level and centering the graph.
Nodes
The following node labels are used in the graph view.
| Label | Description |
|---|---|
|
Represents a Neo4j deployment |
|
A server belonging to a Neo4j deployment |
|
A logical non-system database |
|
The special system database, used for internal settings |
|
A label which is used for a DBMS that is online. Nodes with this label are assigned a green color. |
|
A label which is used for a DBMS that is offline. Nodes with this label are assigned a red color. |
|
A label which is used for a DBMS that has a degraded status (for example, some of the servers are offline). Nodes with this label are assigned a yellow color. |
Relationships
The following relationship types are used in the graph view.
| Relationship type | Description |
|---|---|
|
Indicates that a DBMS comprises one or more servers |
|
A DBMS has one or more databases |
|
Indicates that a server acts as a primary for a database |
|
Indicates that a server acts as a secondary for a database |
|
Used for older Neo4j versions. Indicates that a server acts as a leader for a database |
|
Used for older Neo4j versions. Indicates that a server acts as a follower for a database |
|
Used for older Neo4j versions. Indicates that a server acts as a read replica for a database |
|
Used for older Neo4j versions. Indicates that a server acts as a standalone replica for a database |
