You created nested maps in Network Atlas. You want the top-level map to show as down when half of the objects under it are down. How do you accomplish this?

You created nested maps in Network Atlas. You want the top-level map to show as down when half of the objects under it are down. How do you accomplish this?

• A. Set map status thresholds to below 50%
• B. Set map status thresholds to above 50%
• C. Set map status thresholds to exactly 50%
• D. Disable map thresholds altogether

Answer: (A)

In Network Atlas, a top-level map changes its status based on how many of its child objects are down, using thresholds to decide when to switch to a down state. By configuring the map status thresholds to below 50%, the map will flip to down as soon as the fraction of down items reaches 50% or more. This gives you the exact behavior you want: the parent appears down when half of its underlying objects are down. If you set the threshold to above 50%, the top-level map would stay up until more than half of the child items are down, delaying the down indication. Setting it to exactly 50% would depend on hitting that exact split, which is less reliable in practice. Disabling thresholds would stop this automatic propagation altogether, so the top-level map wouldn’t automatically show a down state based on its children.
