Alerts Heat Map
The heat map is a graphical representation of alerts and notifications in the entire monitoring ecosystem (across agents and domains).
Figure 15: Hawk Console Alerts Heat map
The color of the individual cell in the map represents different alert levels. The size of the individual cell is directly proportional to the number of alerts/notifications of that type. The color scheme of the alerts indicate the following type of alerts:
| • | [Red] High |
| • | [Orange] Medium |
| • | [Yellow] Low |
| • | [Green] Notification |
Heat Map Hierarchy
Heat map implementation in Hawk Console is a treemap representation. The treemap charts display hierarchical data in a set of nested rectangles. You can click any rectangle to drill down to its nested rectangles (levels). A rectangle’s size is directly proportional to the specified dimension of the data.
The dimensions of hierarchy in Hawk Console is:
| • | Hawk domain |
| • | Hawk agent |
| • | Alert level |

Drill Down Capability
The top-level heat map shows all alerts in all agents in all domains. You can drill down to any level of the hierarchy (dimension) to see the details. For example, if there are four domains, you can drill down to one domain to see all the agents in the domain in an expanded form. You can further drill down to an agent in the domain to see all alerts in expanded view. You can drill down to the last level in the hierarchy which is the cell for Alert category for an Agent. On clicking this cell, the user is navigated to Agent Alerts Details page filtered with the Alert Category.
Heat Map Auto Updates
The heat map are autoupdated after every 20 seconds. If the agent previously had less number of high alerts, the size of high alerts cell for the agent was small as compared to other cells. However, if the agent starts generating a large number of high alerts, then the size of high alerts cell for the agent starts growing dynamically and all other cells in the entire heat map are automatically adjusted accordingly.
