What kind of protocols you plan to use for the discovery ? it will help us to provide them within Skydive.</div><div>That said, you can use the Skydive API, there is a python library[1] that can be used. We recently developed an Ansible module[2] to add</div><div>node/edge to the Skydive topology (a blog post/doc is coming). We used it to report LLDP information. There is also a new set of command line[3] that can be used but as it has been added recently there is no documentation yet.</div><div><br></div><div>For the WebUI and the edges, you can add multiple edges between nodes but I think that in the WebUI only one will be visible (overlapping). That is something we can fix. For the "on_click" thing, you will be able to click on the edge to get the metadata of the edge.</div><div><br></div><div>We are currently working on a new version of the WebUI, any suggestion/idea will be appreciate :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Sylvain</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://skydive.network/documentation/api-python">http://skydive.network/documentation/api-python</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://github.com/skydive-project/skydive/tree/master/contrib/ansible/library">https://github.com/skydive-project/skydive/tree/master/contrib/ansible/library</a></div><div>[3] skydive client node-rule, skydive client edge-rule</div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 9:28 AM David Green <<a href="mailto:greendm@us.ibm.com" target="_blank">greendm@us.ibm.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="m_-7500157363503315199m_-6173135712277906261socmaildefaultfont" dir="ltr" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt"><div dir="ltr">I'm evaluating Skydive as a possible tool to use for a project I am working on with fibre-channel SANs. I know Skydive currently only works with ethernet networks. It also gets most of its information from the hosts on the network whereas with fibre-channel most of the information comes from switches. Is it possible enhance Skydive to work with fibre-channel? My primary interest is using Skydive as a graphing tool and being able to draw all or part of the network depending on what the user wants to examine. Can the Skydive analyzer component be used to draw a set of nodes and edges when they are passed in via the API, or does the analyzer take nodes and still do analysis on them to determine where the edges are? </div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">Is there flexibility to be able to label each end of an edge and to be able to have an edge respond to on_click events? For instance, there may be several connections between two nodes, and a user may want to mouse over an edge, or click it to expand it out into its component links. </div>
