Nodes in global view cannot send and receive data about vizceral

[baransu]

From version 4.4.0 and above you have to specify entryNode property in your top level graph. It's name of your central node on global level. Does it resolve your issue?

[singerbj]

Kind of. I'm not getting stats for the nodes other than my entryNode now (I just get the region loading spinner). Is it not possible for all nodes to send and receive data to/from each other?

Also, can you point me at the documentation for entryNode so I can understand it better?

[singerbj]

Also why won't this work:
{ name: '1', renderer: 'global', maxVolume: 500, entryNode: '1', nodes: [{ name: '1' }, { name: '2' } ], connections: [{ source: '1', target: '2', metrics: { normal: 10, warning: 9, danger: 5 } }, { source: '2', target: '1', metrics: { normal: 10, warning: 9, danger: 5 } } ] }

Your JSON format is dicey at best. You should take a look at the Data Format wiki.

You can get away with the JSON you have now if you change "global" to "region". But you are playing a dangerous game by not specifying a renderer for each node.

--- UPDATE ---
If you use the entryNode field you will get the spinning "region loading" donut graph(s) for any nodes other than the one supplied via entryNode or with the name "internet". Where "any nodes" are nodes with the renderer explicitly set to "region" or that are children of a renderer: "global" entity, but seriously you should give every node a renderer to make your life easy)regions contain no children.

It took me 8 minutes to run a test and @baransu just posted the same information in that time, while I was updating my comment. I did verify that by adding nodes to an empty renderer: "region" the "Region Loading" will go away on the next updateData call.

[baransu]

Loading region is probably due to no nodes inside your region. I don't know right now how to handle this other than creating some nodes inside region.

I'm afraid there is no documentation about entryNode. It's just indicated which node is entry point and central node for your graph.

What messages are you getting in console regarding your data? What version are you using?
Your problem may be related to no renderer specified for every node in global graph.

Yes, as @baransu said, the global graph has an assumption that nodes will have children nodes. There is currently no way around this, but should be trivial to add something to allow for this. I would be happy to look at a PR around this.

And yes, you have to specify an entryNode or have a node named 'INTERNET'. I updated the wiki to include this.

[baransu]

@jrsquared actually INTERNET is assumed on region level not global. On global you have to specify it mandatory. Should we add it for global level graph too?

[jrsquared]

Ah, you are correct. No, that's fine.
