Connections in a map behave as follows.

- Average Time: The number of minutes to be used in the average utilization of a
link. "Status/link Average" can be specified under
Settings -> Configuration.
- Color: The color of the connection reflects the utilization.
- Green: 1%-40%
- Yellow: 41%-60%
- Orange: 61%-75%
- Red: 76%-100%
- Light Blue: % utilization cannot be determined because bandwidth not known
- Dashed Gray: Have not received a flow for this interface for the "Inactivity Threshold"
specified under Settings -> Alarm Conditions
- Black: Icons connected with a black line to represent a connection (i.e. no status)
- Label: The label displays the percent utilization or the bits received for in the
last average interval.
- ALT tag: On mouse over the Label, the ALT tag displays the full
interface description.
- Arrow: The arrow on the link reflects highest utilization direction.
- Clicking: Clicking on the link will bring up the top conversations on the link
for the last few minutes in one minute intervals. NOTE: Outbound or Inbound
traffic is displayed depending on the direction of the arrow when clicked.
Scrutinizer and Denika can be integrated in the maps. Devices can be connected to represent
both utilization and latency between devices. Click on the Denika links to bring up trends and
they change color just like the utilization links.

Denika can be installed on the same machine as Scrutinizer however, for performance reasons, it
is often installed on a separate machine. Visit Settings -> Configuration if
Denika is installed on a separate machine. Once Denika is integrated, the option shown below will
appear:

Check off "Connect with Denika Report" then enter a filter (aka key word) and click on Filter to
find the desired report. Notice the "Color Change" options automatically fill in with threshold
suggestions for each selected report. This only occurs if Denika has collected enough data. Click on the Denika
icon to view the current trend of the selected report.
After confirming, click on "Connect". Click Here to download Denika for this free integration!.
