Editing AppSpeed Topology
AppSpeed maps servers and services topology from the network traffic monitored on the deployed hosts. You
might want to change the topology, for example, to merge two separately mapped services or to view a single
mapped service as two separate services, depending on the servers on which it runs.
You can split, merge, remap, or delete services. If you split, merge, or remap a service, the historical monitoring
and configuration data of the servers or service roots, such as thresholds, is reset.
You might also want to remove objects because they are obsolete or less relevant.
Split a Service
A service can be split so that it can be monitored as two separate services. For example, in a server-based
scenario you might want to split the monitoring process of a service that is running on a staging server and on
a production server, so that they are monitored as two separate services.
A service is split according to either the server on which it is running, or on its service roots. A service root is
a transaction, usually a database or a domain, in the service that all subordinate transactions have in common.
Each service can have multiple roots. For example, in a service root-based scenario, you might want to monitor
two databases that were originally mapped under a single service, as two separate services. The roots are visible
in the topology table for the service.
Procedure
1
In the AppSpeed menu bar, click Mapping.

In the page selection bar, click Topology Management.
3
Click the Manage Services tab.
4
Select the required service and click Split.
You can only split a single service.
5
In the confirmation dialog box, select the servers or service roots to split from the service.
6
Type a name for the new service and click Split.
Merge Services
You can merge two or more services so that you can monitor them as a single service. For example, you might
want to monitor two individual database services as a single service.
Procedure
1
In the AppSpeed menu bar, click Mapping.
2
In the page selection bar, click Topology Management.
3
Click Manage Services.
4
Select two or more services and click Merge.
5
Select the base service into which you want to merge other services.
This base service retains all of its historical monitoring data and configuration.
