Network Impact Tile

The Network Impact tile presents various visualizations, including donut charts, time-series graphs, switch details, and tables listing the impacted areas of the network affected by the incident. Each incident category and sub-category displays a specific set of network impact donut charts, with commonly included metrics such as AP models, AP firmware versions, reasons by AP and event, WLANs, client OS types, radio bands, reason codes, and event types. These elements help answer key questions such as: Who is impacted? Which devices are contributing? What are the reason codes? and more. Each donut chart is divided into colored segments and if you pause your cursor over any portion of the donut chart, an information box displays, detailed information about the impacted area, including the affected clients or APs. Below each chart, a summary line provides an overview of the impact. The total count of impacted elements is displayed at the center of each donut chart.
