I am quite excited to give this a 'go' to see how it may assist in understanding the use and impact of our fledgling 6.14.x deployments as we roll it out to more Guest and LAN locations. cheers to you for your efforts.

yes currently it does not give you an option to select a specific note, but generally I would point it to the publisher to get all the info including the Insight retrieval for hitcounts.
As a side note CPV v1.6.1 is now tested against a substantially larger ClearPass deployment that had 1.37 million endpoints and the endpoint profiling cache was populated in just over 9 min. I have added Appendix A in the technote ClearPass Policy Visualiser that goes through the details.

Nice!! That was remarkably quick turnaround! I am noticing that there is not an option to select a different node for the Insights retrieval. Is this something that could be done?
Host: it uses CP_SQL_HOST, the same value as endpoint profiling, so there is no way to point Insight at a different node.

Now we have ClearPass Policy Visualiser 1.6.1, new features include
- Added Top Hits and Least Hits summaries to the dashboard.
- Added Hit Counts to individual Service Visualise pages.
- Added sortable Order, Name, Type and Hit Count columns.
Note that Hit Counts are refreshed during application startup and when Refresh Services is selected.

thanks for your feedback Sean, the funny thing is that I was planning to bring back the hit count to the model. Then I could use it in the impact analysis, etc.
I am thinking to initially add the meta data under "Total Services" card on the dashboard, where I would show
- enabled xx
- top hits xx
- least hits: xx
and then have a sort-able hit count column for the "configured services"

One thing I noticed in v1.6.0, the hit count is not incrementing. Is this expected? Would be super helpful to have the feature again, since it was stripped out of the ClearPass service page

just a quick update, Thanks everyone for all the feedback so far.
ClearPass Policy Visualiser v1.6.0 is now available, with a number of improvements:
- Docker-based deployment with Docker Compose
- Waitress as the production WSGI server
- Configurable container timezone
- Endpoint profiling now uses the ClearPass PostgreSQL database directly
- Improved endpoint profiling cache initialisation and startup logging
Docker is now the recommended deployment method, making it much easier to get the Visualiser up and running without having to manage a separate Python environment on the host.
Also the technote "ClearPass Policy Visualiser" has been updated to reflect these changes
As always, please keep the feedback coming.
