Map your open connections#
Draw your own machine, every host the tab has a session with, and any bastion the connection passes through.
The map draws what the tab is connected to: your machine at the centre, every SSH host you have a session with around it, and any bastion the connection passes through. It answers the question you cannot answer when you count panes: what you are actually attached to right now.
Open the map#
Select Map in the toolbar. The map appears above the panes, and the button stays highlighted while the map is open. There is nothing to draw until the tab has at least one session, so nothing happens when you select Map in an empty tab.
Drag the lower edge of the map to resize it. Select Map again to close it and give the height back to your panes.
Read the nodes and lines#
Every map has one node for your own machine, marked LOCAL. Each SSH host you are connected to gets its own node, marked SSH and labelled with the user and host. Where a profile connects through a bastion, that machine gets its own node marked JUMP HOST, and the line runs through it rather than straight to the target.
Arrows point from your machine outwards along each connection. A host you have more than one session with shows the count next to its node, so two panes on the same server are visibly one server, not two.
The map groups hosts by address, not by pane. It shows a port only when the port is not 22.
Drag to pan, and scroll to zoom. The map is a picture rather than a control surface: nothing happens when you select a node, and you cannot connect or disconnect from here.
What the map leaves out#
The map shows the sessions open in the current tab, and nothing else. It is not a scan and it discovers nothing: a machine you are not connected to never appears, however it relates to the ones you are on.
The map also stops at the tab boundary. Sessions in another Remote Terminal tab do not appear on it.
Note Where a profile does not record a port, the map assumes 22. A Quick Connect session on a non-standard port is therefore drawn alongside anything else on that host, which can make two different destinations look like one.
