The Topology Visualization app provides a custom visualization for displaying hierarchical parent-child relationships in Splunk search results. It renders tree-based topology diagrams driven by structured search output, where each node represents an entity with a calculated or assigned health score.
The visualization supports three scoring modes: split (equal average of children), weighted (proportional average based on child weights), and value (direct score assignment). Nodes are color-coded based on configurable threshold values to indicate health status. The app is designed for monitoring scenarios that involve hierarchical dependencies, including network device topologies, service KPI trees, application dependency maps, and infrastructure health monitoring.
Users construct searches that output records with specific fields defining node identity, parent relationships, score calculation method, and optional metadata such as tooltips and status overrides. The visualization automatically computes aggregate scores up the hierarchy and applies color indicators to show overall health at each level.
