show", and we are currently in the finishing stages of also having Horizon support for this that displays the graph.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="color:#1F497D">As a result, depending on the templates you add, the graph could indeed become very "dense" with edges. As Vitrage matures, it might also support many more types of relationships and entities, and the
graph will grow accordingly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="color:#1F497D">We've given much thought to this issue, and have plans on addressing possible problems that this could cause. For example, the Entity Graph is currently in-memory, and we have plans for supporting also

</span></span></span><![endif]><span dir="LTR"></span><span style="color:#1F497D">On the other hand, the
<u>populating</u> of this Entity Graph is done via Datasources. In the Transformer of each datasource, we define how we want to integrate the data received into the Entity Graph, what labels each edge (=relationship) will have etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">For example, the InstanceTransformer will define that whenever we add an instance to the Entity Graph, the instance is related to it's host with a "contains" relationship. The template, on the other hand, states
"IF there is a host in error AND this host contains an instance, THEN do XXX".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">So indeed, we need the conditions in the template to use the same "language" as the transformers do, for example in using the labels. Currently, this mapping is implicitly assumed to be identical (i.e., the two
use the same labels). In the future we will probably add a mapping configuration file, which maps the transformer values to those in the templates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Looks like “EvaluatorEventTransformer._create_neighbors” is used to create the edge for relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Is so, is it overlapped to define the relationship between “nova.instance” and “nova.host” since “InstanceTransformer._create_host_neighbor” should do the same work?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I found Vitrage is an very impressive OpenStack project! <span style="font-family:Wingdings">
J</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a few questions about the example:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://github.com/openstack/vitrage/blob/master/doc/source/vitrage-template-format.rst#example-1-basic-rca-and-deduced-alarmstate">https://github.com/openstack/vitrage/blob/master/doc/source/vitrage-template-format.rst#example-1-basic-rca-and-deduced-alarmstate</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this example, there is a “relationships” definition between nova host and nova instance:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B050">- relationship:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B050"> source: host<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B050"> target: instance<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B050"> relationship_type: contains<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#00B050"> template_id : host_contains_instance<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My questions:<o:p></o:p></p>

<![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]><span dir="LTR"></span>I don’t find the code for edge creation from “relationship”. If not, the edge between “nova.host” and “nova.instance” should be created by function “InstanceTransformer._create_host_neighbor”. Right?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:18.0pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6">
<![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">3.<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span><![endif]><span dir="LTR"></span>If so, what’s the purpose for “relationship”? Is it only used to parse the “condition” part in “scenarios”?<o:p></o:p></p>
