LiveTile

  • This is the new name for a Cog.
  • A LiveTile is a small image designed to summarize information from multiple DataSeries into a quick, useful format.

Map

  • This is the new name for a Heatmap.
  • A Map is an image designed to show spatially related DataSeries, representing their different values by using colors on a gradient scale.
  • A typical example is showing temperatures at locations within a datacenter. However, Maps can represent other concepts -- such as cost per square foot at datacenters on a world map, or risk versus cost in a quadrant diagram.

Elicit

  • This is the new name for a Collector.
  • Elicit is able to collect information from your network. Basic instances can poll intelligent sensors and devices. Advanced instances can also scan for network assets, and map relationships between them.
  • It can be installed on a Windows server, Linux server, or come as a small hardware appliance that just needs power and network connections.
