What happens on the Smartscape when a host goes offline for more than 2 hours?

When a host goes offline for more than 2 hours, the correct behavior observed in the Smartscape is that the lines between the host and its dependencies become dashed lines. This dashed representation serves as a visual indicator of the host's offline status, allowing users to quickly identify which hosts are currently unavailable or experiencing connectivity issues.

This dashed-line visualization is designed to maintain the integrity of the Smartscape architecture while clearly indicating the relationship between available and unavailable entities. It helps in troubleshooting and understanding the impact of the host's downtime on its dependencies without removing the host completely from the view, ensuring that users can still see that the host was once part of the ecosystem.

In contexts where quick identification of issues is essential, such as performance monitoring and incident management, this visual cue is critical for assessing the health of the system and making rapid decisions regarding remediation.
