For now, VADA only works with server objects (linux/windows). You can manually add servers to a topology and connect the dots yourself.
Simply start with the IIS server hosting the website. Go to app discovery. Below the server you mapped out you should see a small +.
Which will allow you to manually add a server. Simply search for the servers you want to add.
You can then drag them away from that group of servers to create a ‘Hyper-V’ group for example.
You can then add a dependency between the servers if you like by clicking the + sign next to the group.
Hopefully that helps. As a general advice I would always recommend to start from the front end to the back end to create your VADA topologies.
Br,
With showing the node the website is on, I don’t think there is an easy way. But you could possibly do a task that you could run on demand that will return the active node? Not very pretty I know.
A round-about solution could be a powershell script that runs periodically on one of your servers that finds out the active node from Hyper-V, and inserts that entry into a DB somewhere. Then use the SquaredUp SQL tile to query that DB entry to find the active node and display it on a dashboard. (I’m thinking its really out there solution!)
