Faddom uses different colors for connections to represent the status of each connection. Here we will go over these colors and explain the meaning of each.
Activity Status Color
Color | Meaning |
Active connections. An active connection is a connection that we have seen traffic for very recently. | |
Idle connections. A connection that we have seen traffic for within the last half hour | |
Inactive connections. A connection that we have not seen any traffic on for the past hour or more. | |
Connection with no response. This connection was detected to be active or idle, but there was no response detected. This may be due to a firewall blocking the connection or a service that is down. | |
Connection from a virtual IP on a Load Balancer to a server | |
| Short dotted lines appear for connections that are related to the server but are not part of the application map. |
 | Long dotted lines appear for connections that are not part of the map directly, but have been manually added to the map. |
Changed Connection Colors
Color | Meaning |
Added connections. A connection that was not detected as part of a map before and is now part of the map. Note that the arrow head represents the activity status of the connection as seen above. | |
Removed connection. A connection that was part of the map before and is now detected to not be part of the map. Note that the arrow head represents the activity status of the connection as seen above. |
