Fabric Vision is the integrated storage-network monitoring and diagnostics technology behind broad fabric visibility in HPE B-series SAN management. It brings together health monitoring, performance observation, and troubleshooting capabilities that administrators can consume through compatible management tools, including SANnav. MAPS supplies monitoring and alerting policies with defined thresholds; Flow Vision provides flow-oriented traffic observation; COMPASS assists operational and configuration consistency. Each is a component or complementary function, whereas Fabric Vision describes the wider diagnostic and monitoring suite asked about. Using these capabilities, a SAN team can observe deteriorating links, investigate traffic imbalance, discover problematic flows, and prioritize corrective action before application latency becomes unacceptable. Monitoring thresholds and alerts should be chosen to suit normal workload behavior, switch speeds, and operational response procedures. The key distinction is that the question asks for the overall visibility and insight framework, not one feature that reports a subset of fabric behavior. These functions are most useful when baselines and alert response procedures are maintained consistently.
