Live Network Connections

Plugin: network-viewer.plugin Module: network-viewer

Overview

Visualize live host network connections. The network-viewer plugin maps local processes and services to the sockets and remote endpoints they are talking to, in real time.

The network-viewer plugin builds the topology:network-connections view directly from the host's live socket table — no SNMP and no configuration.

This integration is supported on all platforms.

This integration supports multiple instances configured side-by-side.
