# APM Service Map

The Service Map is a graphical workflow representation of all services in the deployment.

Follow these steps to get to the **Service Map** interface:

1. Click the **APM** tab, and then the **Service Map** option in the drop-down menu.

2. Alternatively, navigate to the Services interface, and click the  (Service Map) view option to switch to that view.

3. The **Service Map** interface appears.

## Using the APM Service Map interface

The **Service Map** interface has the following information and affordances:

### 01. [Filters](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.5.0/apm-filters/)
help you to determine what requires your immediate attention. For details, see [APM Filters](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.5.0/apm-filters/).

To show filters, expand the filters: click the  (Show filters) icon in the top left corner of the page.
   
   To hide the filters, click the  (Hide filters) icon in the top right corner of the filter panel.

### 02. View type
selector enables you to specify the search view by selecting one of the following modes:

[APM Databases view](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.5.0/apm-databases/)

This article discusses this view.

### 03. Overall interval.
The default is **Last 5 minutes**. Click the drop-down to use the time picker and select the appropriate time interval.

### 04. Refresh display
click  (Refresh) to update the display.

### 05. Use Zooming options
to see the details of the service map:

-  (Zoom in) to see more details of some nodes in the map.
   -  (Zoom out) to see more items in the map.
   -  (Reset zoom) to use the original size of the service map.

### 06. Use Search
to find the nodes by name when you have a long list.

### 07. The Legend
for the nodes contains:

- **Selected** nodes
   - **Error** nodes had errors during the time interval.
   - Click the **Highlight** drop-down to highlight **requests**, or **nothing**.

### 08. **Options** menu
lets you configure the service map view:

- **Orientation** of the map: **horizontal** or **vertical** (default)
   - **Edge style** for connection path is: 90° angle, straight lines, or curves
   - **Hide Dangling Nodes**
   - **Hide Unknown Nodes**
   - **Show Mini Map**
   - **Show Only Paths with Errors**

### 09. **Showing …​ of …​ nodes**
indicates how many nodes the map displays, either because it is [zoomed in](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.5.0/apm-service-map/#zoom), because of [filter settings](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.5.0/apm-service-map/#filters), or due to a [option configurations](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.5.0/apm-service-map/#options):

### 10. Reset filters to default
clears out the filter selections.

### 11. Node size legend
guides you in understanding the relative performance of the nodes across the system.

Click the drop-down menu to select the measure: **Requests/sec**, **Max Latency**, or **Errors/sec**.

### 12. The Map
of all nodes that match search and filtering criteria: the service node, and its upstream and downstream services.

When you hover over the name of one of the **nodes**, Kloudfuse displays the detailed facet and filter information for that node.

When you hover over one of the **paths** (connections between nodes), Kloudfuse displays the detailed facet and filter information for that path.

You can click the name of the other nodes to see their performance details; see [APM Service detail](https://docs.kloudfuse.com/platform/3.5.0/apm-service-detail/).
