Reduce the Maximum Number of Nodes Displayed in a Network Overview Map

The Network Overview map displays a map containing up to 250 of the most highly connected nodes in the layer 3 network. If this map contains too many nodes, the map might respond slowly when moving nodes or become too complex for practical viewing.

You can increase or reduce the maximum number of nodes displayed in the Network Overview map by editing the Maximum Number of Displayed Nodes attribute on the Default Map Settings tab on the User Interface Configuration form.

You can also increase or reduce the maximum number of nodes displayed in the Network Overview map by performing the steps shown in the following example.

For example, to change the maximum number of nodes displayed in the Network Overview map from 250 to 100, follow these steps:

1. Edit the following file:

   • Windows: %NNM_PROPS%\nms-ui.properties
   • Linux: $NNM_PROPS/nms-ui.properties

2. Look for text similar to following line:

   #!com.hp.nnm.ui.networkOverviewMaxNodes = 250

   Change the line as follows:

   com.hp.nnm.ui.networkOverviewMaxNodes = 100

   Note Make sure to remove the #! characters located at the beginning of the line.

3. Save your changes.
