Description

Monitors the Interface Status, Utilization, Traffic, Errors and Discards Rate. It uses 64-bit counter SNMP OIDs to monitor Traffic and Utilization.

Prerequisites

SNMP should be enabled in end device and device should support IF-MIB.mib OIDs and SNMP credentials should be attached against the device in portal.

How to Apply: While assigning the template, it will show get components discovery button. Once we click on it, it will show values for the following properties: ifAdminStatus ifOperStatus ifAlias User should select whatever properties they want to monitor.

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
ParameterDescription
Frequency
  • Frequency is the interval in which you want to probe and collect metric data from the target device/resource
  • Frequency is defined in minutes (min).
  • Warning ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    Critical ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    AlertThe alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
