Health Monitor
Under the Health Monitor tab, the monitoring session collects health data from all elements of the network that provide appropriate data and presents the data on the network map and in a table in the entity browser (left panel). In the Summary (right panel) an overview on all monitored elements in the network is presented. It includes various monitored parameters, such as
• TX Errors,
• RX Errors,
• NE Uptime,
• NE Temperature,
• CPU Load,
• SFP Temperature,
• SFP Output Power,
• SFP Input Power,
• RX Throughput,
• TX Throughput,
• Memory Usage.
Upon selecting a specific monitor in the entity browser (left panel), the related health status is shown in the right panel.
Metrics
When opening ‘Metrics’ from the ribbon or the context menu for a selected Health Monitor, a table with all the metrics of the given monitor is displayed.
The four predefined state filters
• Bad State,
• Poor State,
• Fair State,
• Ok State
can be set or reset by clicking any of them.
The selectable option “Show Line Chart” activates a line chart view of a single or multiple selected metrics.
An example for the NE temperature line chart details of four NEs is given below:
The drop-down list in the line chart title bar provides different default time periods. Two rulers (start date&time, end date&time) below the line chart allow you to adjust the time span shown in the chart. You can also zoom into the chart clicking on the “Zoom” icon and using the pointer device to select a span within the chart.
When placing the pointer into the chart, details on the captured metrics samples are shown in a tooltip window.
