A NetWitness Platform service, such as security-server or investigate-server, is a collection of components working together to implement the goals of the service. This topic describes the support for exposing these components and their associated elements (for example, configuration parameters, metrics, API methods, health checks, and so on) in a tree-view. The tree-view is a hierarchically-nested arrangement of tree-nodes, each of which corresponds to a distinct functional area of the service. The arrangement enables the end-user to navigate the nodes at run-time and to explore the current state of the service. See Shell for an interactive tool that uses the tree-view.
Features
The tree-view implements the following features:
-
Supports encapsulation of functionally related elements under the same
tree-node. -
Supports hierarchical linkage of
tree-nodes to enable navigation from one node to another.
Implementation
The current implementation of the tree-view is described in the following sections.
Node Types
The tree-view is comprised of tree-node instances taken from the following types.
Node Structure
All tree-nodes have the same structure. In particular, they include the following elements:
