Magnetic fields, especially the ordered ones observed using the radio polarimetry constitute a very sensitive indicator of anomalous gas flows in perturbed galaxies. In contrast to methods based on radial velocities, the deformations of magnetic fields provide at least qualitative estimate of gas flow directions in the sky plane. We present examples of the ``magnetic diagnostics'' in case of various kinds of interactions: the merging galaxies and those interacting with their environment in clusters and groups. The case of an apparently isolated galaxy whose magnetic fields still shows traces of past interactions is discussed as well.
