Traceroute Path Tool in LiveMaps | Point-to-Point discovery

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We already have a traceroute tool in NMS, which is hardly used. If using the tool in DI Live Maps, you could create logical devices in a path and see which hops between sevone and the device are part of your monitoring.

The concept is you would have "DEVICE-A" where this device is the one you want to traceroute. And then (similar to hop generation) you would generate the path traveled to reach the device.

For each IP and name found you create an unassigned node with the name and IP. (or if the IP exists, fill it with the sevone information!) then proceed to the next IP in the path. If a path fails, you can create a grey logical link at the device node that failed.

This is useful for a troubleshooting standpoint for admins to generate a map of their network, but more importantly, see what devices response looks like to sevone via PING stats.

---

Another concept is that if you had to SevOne nodes existing in the map, you highlight both of them and generate the shortest path between each item, a way this could be done is in a backend run hops out from both devices until they match the name of their pairs then use that generation to create the link in the map. This wouldnt be traceroute focused more than it would be a procedure that already exists in LiveMaps, just simplified to a point-to-point generation.
