Mission Planner Interface
Mission Planner is the construction and operations surface for a STRATUM datacenter. Learn the canvas regions first, then use the task pages for deployment, wiring, operation, and packaging.
Mission Planner at a glance
Mission Planner is the construction and operations surface for a STRATUM datacenter. The canvas holds the topology, System Arsenal supplies deployable objects, and Selection Details shows the state and controls for the current selection.
The numbered interface map below identifies the major working regions. The following Mission Planner pages then use those same areas for deployment, wiring, grouping, capture, impairment, snapshots, workload movement, console access, and packaging.

Mission Planner Interface Map
The numbered callouts identify the major Mission Planner working areas. Their functions are listed directly below the figure.
Numbered interface map
- Main navigation — Switch between Mission Planner and the other primary STRATUM workspaces.
- Canvas action dock — Access the main Mission Planner construction and topology actions from the bottom of the canvas.
- Selection Details — See details, state, and context-sensitive controls for the currently selected node, link, annotation, or group.
- Datacenter selector and controls — Confirm the active datacenter and use the adjacent datacenter control for datacenter-level actions.
- Data Layers panel control — Open or collapse Data Layers. Data Layers controls operational overlays on the canvas, including status pills, runtime-state coloring, traffic visualization, and other display layers without changing the underlying datacenter objects.
- System Arsenal panel control — Open or collapse System Arsenal. System Arsenal is the deployable-content panel for networks, switches, systems, endpoints, and other Arsenal-backed objects that can be added to the active datacenter.
- Canvas view controls — Zoom in or out and use the fit/center controls to frame the topology.
System Arsenal Panel
Open System Arsenal to browse deployable networks, switches, systems, endpoints, and other content for the active datacenter. Add an item from this panel to place it on the canvas.
The outcome you should see
You can locate System Arsenal, Selection Details, the action dock, datacenter selector, canvas, and canvas controls without hunting through the interface.
