Network Events

Endpoint and router online / offline events are available under the network events section. The list is currently limited to 500 entries on the console but the CSV download can have upto 5000 entries.

JSON View for Power Users

Power users in the console can view the config of the network components as JSON view. This config lists details of ziti as well. 

One of the ways to benefit from the JSON view is to check if there are sync issues between console (MOP) and ziti. The "difference detected" field in JSON would be "false" if there is no sync issue between MOP and ziti. 

Go to the hamburger menu against the endpoints / services and click on "JSON"

Make sure to enable your power user profile before trying to look for the JSON view

Search for services an endpoint has access to:

The service search feature has been introduced under endpoint visualizer. This allows console admins to be able to search and find if an endpoint has access to a specific service of interest. This can be the starting point to troubleshoot config issues.
