Edges
Edges is a standard configuration interface for adding, editing, and removing Edges as well as special properties. Edges specify how two vertices are related to each other within the graph database. Properties of the edges are custom name/value pairs used for meta tagging. Certain Unified Assurance components leverage this meta data for display and/or correlation purposes.
Note:
Great care should be taken when modifying anything in the database as mis-configurations can cause unintended results.
Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/graph/edges.
The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Graph -> Edges.

Form Fields
-
Start Vertex - Beginning vertex of the edge.
-
End Vertex - End vertex of the edge.
-
Edge Type - The type of the edge, from the Edge Types UI.
-
Edge Properties - This section contains any additional properties that may be needed for the edge.
Note:
Simple text- or numeric-based properties do not need to be pre-configured before they can be applied to edges. When using the UI, an available property can be added to the edge, then renamed by selecting the "Name" column value and entering a new value.
However, more complex properties that are based on other Unified Assurance data should be configured before use. See the Property Types UI for additional information.
