NET POSITIONS

If a host is not a member of any net position entries, it is placed in the Grey Zone. If a host is a member of multiple net position entries, the first entry is used. Line format for net position entries is "pos net x-position y-position z-position colour",
eg. "pos 123.123.123.123/32 10 0 -10 green". Positions:

Grey/Red

positive x-position

Blue/Green

negative x-position

Up

positive y-position

Down

negative y-position

Grey/Blue

positive z-position

Red/Green

negative z-position Colours: none (where multiple colours are used), default (grey), orange, yellow, fluro, green, mint, aqua, blue, purple, violet and hold (place hosts in same position).

START/STOP LOCAL hsen

If sudo is required to start/stop a local hsen, the user starting Hosts3D must be in /etc/sudoers. The default command to stop a local hsen is "killall hsen", which will kill all hsen processes.

NOTES

Firewall configuration: hsen talks to Hosts3D via UDP port 10111. If hsen is running and Hosts3D is not, ICMP Port Unreachable (UDP port 10111) may be generated. Hosts3D logs to syslog, check when troubleshooting. By default hosts are added from packet source IP address, activate Add Destination Hosts to also add from destination IP address. Anomalies are a new host or host service. Using the menu options to move/arrange a few thousand hosts may take a few minutes. Deleting hosts, using the menu options to move/arrange hosts, or clearing/restoring a net layout may affect packet recording. Clicking a multiple host object will cycle through selecting hosts within. Data files from 32-bit version are incompatible with 64-bit version and vice versa.
