Datacenter Networking Dashboards

Assess your datacenter network performance by observing metric, alert, inventory, and fabric data.
Kyndryl Network & Edge 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.

Range filter

Use the following procedure to specify the time range for the current data set by time range and other parameters:
  1. 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:
    1. 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.
    2. 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
      .
    3. 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.
  2. Click the
    Plus
    icon. The service presents the filter editor.
  3. 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.
  4. Select an operator from
    Select operator
    field:
    • is
      : Equal to
    • is not
      : Not equal to
    • is one of

    • 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.
  5. Select a value from the
    Select a value
    field.
  6. Optional:
    Add a an additional parameter by selecting boolean
    OR
    or Boolean
    AND
    :
    1. Repeat steps 2 through 4.
    2. Optional:
      Repeat step 5.
  7. 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
