The Application Topology Explorer dashboard explores relationships between hosts and applications while also presenting application-level PQC readiness and aggregate risk. It helps users determine which applications run on selected hosts, which hosts run selected applications, and how the selected population performs across key exchange, TLS protocol, and certificate-signature readiness.
Operational guidance: Use the Host and Application filters to move between host context and application context. Confirm the current selection, review the related hosts or applications, and then use the readiness and risk panels to assess the cryptographic posture of that selected population.
Panels
| Panel | Type | What It Shows |
|---|---|---|
| Current Selection Details | Table | Displays the active context, selection, representative source host, application, destination, protocol, TLS version, cipher, event count, and first/last observed times. |
| Current Filter Selection | Table | Shows the currently selected Host and Application filter values. |
| Applications Installed on Selected Host | Table | Applications associated with the selected host and the number of observed relationship records. |
| Hosts Running Selected Application | Table | Hosts associated with the selected application and the number of observed relationship records. |
| Relationship Overview | Table | Summary counts of hosts, applications, and relationship events in the filtered population. |
| Host Context Summary | Table | Top hosts ranked by related application count and relationship activity. |
| Application Context Summary | Table | Top applications ranked by related host count and relationship activity. |
| Application PQC Dashboard | Readiness summary | Application compliance progress for PQC-ready key exchange, TLS 1.3 capability, and PQC-ready certificate signatures. |
| Aggregate Risk Determination | Donut chart | Risk score derived from the inverse of average application readiness across key exchange, protocol, and signature dimensions. |
Key Data Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| host | Host associated with an application relationship. |
| process.name | Application name used for topology relationships. |
| process.executable | Application executable used for readiness analysis when available. |
| destination.ip | Observed destination associated with the selected context. |
| network.protocol / tls.version / tls.cipher | Observed network protocol, TLS version, and cipher. |
| omb.kex_tier / omb.protocol_tier / omb.sig_tier | Key-exchange, TLS protocol, and certificate-signature readiness tiers. |
Reading the Dashboard
Select a host or application
The filters define whether you are moving through host context or application context.
Confirm the selection details
Check the active filter state and representative relationship details before drawing conclusions.
Review both relationship tables
Use them to see the corresponding applications or hosts connected to the current selection.
Use Aggregate Risk Determination last
This summarizes the overall risk of the filtered application population after you understand the context.
Filtering and Implementation Notes
Use the Time Range, Application, and Host controls. Application and Host default to All.
Selecting a Host populates the host-context relationship table, selecting an Application populates the application-context relationship table, and leaving both broad shows overview panels for the full filtered population.
