Metrics
The metrics window can be opened from different locations, e.g. for a specific health monitor, a specific NE, etc. Metrics are shown as Details or as Summary.Details
Details
Details are displayed in tabular form as
• Current State (showing the most current value and performance state of each metric), or as
• Worst Historical State (showing the worst performance state in the last 24h / 7d / 30d for each metric).
If the option “Show Line Chart” is set, a line graph for the selected metric is displayed. Up to 5 metrics of the same type can be displayed on the line chart.
Table
The table provides the following columns in the ‘Basic’ view (default):
• Name,
• Time,
• Value,
• Unit,
• NE,
• Location,
• SFP Type,
• SFP Part Number,
• Performance State,
• Validity,
• Expected Range.
As usual, columns can be shown or hidden via the table columns icon at the bottom right of the table view.
Line Chart
Using the line chart, you can examine the trend of a metric over time. In detail, you can
• display the line graph of a metric over a configurable time window (last 24h / 7d / 30d),
• see the thresholds assigned to the metric,
• mark the period for which the metric has a ‘Bad’ performance state,
• hover over the graph to see the metric value at the given time,
• zoom-in and slide the zoomed window along the time axis,
• display up to 5 metrics of the same type to compare their trends, and
• save the chart as image (PNG file).
Summary
The summary shows donut charts and bar charts for the relevant set of metrics. For example, if the metrics window is opened for a specific health monitor, the charts reflect the metrics of the given metric type. The diagrams include:
• Number of available metrics,
• Current metric performance state distribution,
• Metrics validity,
• Worst metric performance state distribution over last 24h / 7d / 30d (not available for sections).
