Vertex Types

Vertex Types is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing the Vertex Types available within Unified Assurance. These types are used to define vertices within the graph database and how they are represented. Deleting a Vertex Type will cause vertices, edges, and properties to cascade delete.

Note

Great care should be taken when modifying anything in the database as miss-configurations can cause unintended results.

Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.

This user interface calls REST methods from api/graph/vertexTypes.

The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Graph -> Vertex Types.

Note

When you use the search bar to filter the data in the Vertex Types table, the search strings are case-sensitive.

Form Fields

  • Name - The name of the vertex type. The name may not contain spaces, commas, or backticks.

  • Source - Select which source will be used for the icon.

    Note

    The "Unified Assurance" and "Font Awesome" icon sources will scale better in different views while the basic image icons will not.

  • Image - If "Source" is set to "Image", one of the basic images can be selected.

  • UAN - If "Source" is set to "Unified Assurance Icon", one of the Unified Assurance images can be selected.

  • Font Awesome - If "Source" is set to "Font Awesome Icon", one of the Font Awesome images can be selected.
