Datacenter Networking Dashboards
3 min
supports observable data in your datacenter networking implementation, enabling greater uptime and optimization through the presentation of captured performance data on three primary dashboards datacenter networking metrics datacenter networking alerts datacenter networking inventory datacenter networking fabric subsequent sections provide details regarding the data displayed on these dashboards each dashboard contains filters that enable data narrowing global filter the global filter enables you to narrow the observable data set, limiting it to only data necessary to your circumstance the filter is located directly below header the filter comprises two buttons filter control (grounding icon) add filter add a filter element apply to all\ apply the filter to the data set clear all clear all applied filters, restoring the defalut data set of all data add filter (plus icon) add a filter element use the following procedure to specify the time range for the current data set by time range and other parameters select a time range the default time range is last 7 days if no changes have occurred in the default or selected date range, data visualizations will not populate examples of such changes include new nodes, new interfaces, and events to change the current date range, use the following procedure click the calendar icon the service displays the quick select dialog, presenting a range field that you can manually set and a list of preselected options from the units field dropdown menu, which defaults to 7 days ago , select the unit, days , weeks , months , years set the quantity by entering, incrementing, or decrementing the unit quantity for example, select months , then decrement 7 to 6 to change the value from 7 days ago to last 6 months click update the service updates the data for the selected date range the default time range, 7 days ago , applies initially to all six dashboards; adjust each as needed click the plus icon the service presents the filter editor select a field from the select a field dropdown menu you can select from any supported field in the network device or operating system record select an operator from select operator field is equal to is not not equal to is one of some fields might have more than one value this operator specifies a specific value in such a field is not one of some fields might have more than one value this operator specifies that none of the values exist in such a field exists any device or operating system description that contains the specified field does not exist any device or operating system description that does not contain the specified field select a value from the select a value field optional add a an additional parameter by selecting boolean or or boolean and repeat steps 2 through 4 optional repeat step 5 click cancel to cancel the filter addition or add filter to add the filter you constructed you may add additional filters as required to adequately narrow your data set you can also edit a constructed filter as a domain specific language query by clicking the edit as query dsl link located at the far right of the add filter editor you can also filter by the following account attributes customer name source blueprint id system label data visualization the datacenter network dashboard helps you monitor the health, performance, and availability of your datacenter network from a single location it provides visibility into network devices, traffic utilization, alerts, routing protocols, hardware inventory, and connectivity to support both daily operations and troubleshooting find the data available for visualization below \<font color="#f3f4f6">area\</font> \<font color="#f3f4f6">data visualization\</font> network health & performance monitor node health, cpu, memory, disk utilization, and network quality indicators such as alignment errors, symbol errors, giants, and runts traffic & capacity analyze uplink and downlink traffic across spine and leaf switches and identify the most heavily utilized devices and interfaces interface monitoring review port status, interface operational state, and connectivity details across the datacenter network alert management track alerts by severity, source, role, cause, type, and timeline to quickly identify and investigate issues hardware inventory view hardware inventory details for spine and leaf switches, including vendor, model, software versions, ip addresses, and serial numbers network inventory monitor resource pools, capacity allocation, utilization percentages, and network resource consumption routing & connectivity review bgp status, routing stability, flap activity, autonomous system information, and vrf details link aggregation monitor lag and mlag performance, traffic utilization, link speeds, and aggregated network connections network segmentation view vlan, vxlan, and vni configuration details across the datacenter fabric link visibility examine link relationships, endpoint states, interface assignments, ip addresses, and connection speeds across the network
