# Apolo

> The network topology and discovery specialist — maps how your environment connects, keeps the telemetry graph current, and surfaces devices nobody is managing.

**Apolo** is the network specialist. While the other agents work with assets you've registered, Apolo works with the **shape of the network between them**: what talks to what, through which segments, and — the part that matters most — what is out there that you never onboarded.

## What Apolo Does

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Maps the topology" icon="chart-network">
    Builds the L2/L3 picture of your environment — interfaces, neighbour tables
    and routes, collected from the targets that have the **Topology** module
    switched on.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Keeps the graph current" icon="diagram-project">
    Maintains the network telemetry graph: which hosts share a gateway or VLAN,
    which links are proven, which are inferred from a route, and which are
    expiring.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Finds the unmanaged" icon="eye">
    Surfaces devices seen on the network but not enrolled in Myrmex — discovered
    via ARP, with no agent reporting.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Shows the blast radius" icon="circle-nodes">
    Answers reachability questions: what sits on the same segment as a
    compromised host, and how far a problem could travel.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## The Topology view

Apolo's work surfaces in the **Topology** quick action in the [Directory](/documentation/ai-workspace/overview#the-directory). The map counts how many assets it covers, how many links it has drawn, and how many devices it sees **without an agent** — the gap between what you manage and what is actually there.

Filter the map by what you want to see: hosts **with agent**, **network devices**, things **discovered by ARP**, **subnets**, or **cloud**. The legend distinguishes firewalls, routers, switches, access points and hosts, and marks each link as proven, inferred from a tunnel route, or discovered via ARP.

<Note>
  A target only contributes to the map when its **Topology** module is on. You
  switch it per target, next to the Audit module — see
  [Frameworks & scanning](/documentation/security-posture/frameworks#enabling-auditing-on-a-target).

## How to Use Apolo

Ask in plain language, naming Apolo when you want the network view specifically:

* *"Apolo, which hosts share the same gateway or VLAN?"*
* *"What devices are on the network without a Myrmex agent?"*
* *"If this host were compromised, what else sits on its segment?"*

## Apolo vs. Brontes

Both know about your devices, from opposite directions:

* **Brontes** knows what you have **registered** — the assets you onboarded, their state and their configuration.
* **Apolo** knows what is **reachable** — the segments, the paths between them, and the machines nobody registered.

The gap between the two lists is usually the interesting part.
