Viptela Interface Template

Description

It monitors Viptela Interface Status, Errors In, Errors Out, Drops In, Drops out, Traffic In, Traffic Out, Utilization In and Utilization Out. This template can be applied on vManage, vEdge, vSmart and vBond devices.

Prerequisites

Gateway should be up and running. Viptela monitoring is performed using API. Viptela API should be reachable from Gateway.

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
Parameter	Description
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 Threshold	If the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
Critical Threshold	If the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
Alert	The alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
