| 11 | +## <a name="bkmk_contentviz"></a> Visualize content distribution status |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +<!--9495651--> |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +You can now monitor content distribution path and status in a graphical format. The graph shows distribution point type, distribution state, and associated status messages. This visualization allows you to more easily understand the status of your content package distribution. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +:::image type="content" source="../../media/9495651-view-content-distribution.png" alt-text="Visualization of content distribution status of the Configuration Manager client package in an example hierarchy."::: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +This example shows a graph for the content distribution status of the Configuration Manager client package in an example hierarchy. It lets you easily see the following information: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- The solid blue line from the site server to each distribution point indicates that the rate limit is **Unlimited**. For more information, see [Rate limits](../../../../servers/deploy/configure/install-and-configure-distribution-points.md#bkmk_config-rate). |
| 22 | +- The green check mark on `DP01` and `DP02` indicates that the content was successfully distributed to these site systems. |
| 23 | +- The red `X` on `DP03` and both cloud distribution points indicates that there's an error in distributing the content to these site systems. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +### Try it out! |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Try to complete the tasks. Then send [Feedback](../../../../understand/product-feedback.md) with your thoughts on the feature. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. In the Configuration Manager console, go to the **Monitoring** workspace, expand **Distribution Status** and select the **Content Status** node. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +1. If this node doesn't show anything, first [distribute content](../../../../servers/deploy/configure/deploy-and-manage-content.md#bkmk_distribute). |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +1. Select a distributed content item. For example, the **Configuration Manager client package**. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +1. In the ribbon, select **View Content Distribution**. This action displays the distribution graph for the selected content. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + - Select the path or the status icon to view status messages for the content. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + - Select the title of the site system to drill through to the **Distribution Points** node. |
