Monitor network devices

Once you have configured Operations Manager to collect data from network data, you need to configure how Operations Manager displays and interprets that data, from configuring notifications and alerts, through to analyzing overall network health. In the previous chapter you learned how to set up synthetic transactions, how to monitor network devices and how to perform device discovery. In this section you’ll learn about managing alerts as well as how to view network devices and data.

This section covers the following topics:

  Managing alerts

  Configuring alert notifications

  Analyzing network devices and data

 Summary: 

• Automatic alert resolution allows you to specify how long it will be before an alert is in a new resolution state.
•  Closing an alert generated by a monitor will mean no new alerts will be generated unless a state change occurs from healthy to warning, healthy to critical, or warning to critical.
•  Closing an alert generated by a rule will close the current alert, but new alerts generated by the rule will still be displayed.
•  To subscribe to an alert notification, you need to configure a notification action account, notification channel, notification subscriber, and a notification subscription.
•  The Network Summary Dashboard provides information about monitored network devices.
•  The Network Node Dashboard provides information about a specific monitored network device.
•  The Network Interface Dashboard provides information about a specific monitored device interface.
•  The Network Vicinity Dashboard provides information about monitored objects connected to a monitored device.
