VitalQIP Product Description
3.6 Data Viewing and Filtering Capability
The Go/To Search capability, along with CLIs and APIs provide the ability to extract portions of the
database based on search criteria. The database schema is also published and available should a customer
desire to write their own SQL calls.
3.7 Data Export/Import Capabilities
VitalQIP has various types of import and export capabilities. The entire VitalQIP database can be
imported or exported using VitalQIP-provided software. Certain files and data can be exported using the
VitalQIP GUI or command line interface. Data can be imported or exported using encrypted or non-
encrypted passwords and in verbose or silent mode. Export and import of Oracle or Sybase data is
supported.
3.8 SNMP Capabilities
SNMP provides an industry-standard protocol used by a number of Network Management products, such
as HP Openview, to manage devices and services on the network. SNMP provides a standard way for
management products to monitor network devices and services. The Alcatel-Lucent Management
Information Base (MIB) is SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3 compliant. Alcatel-Lucent Technologies
provides SNMP support to our Lucent DNS and Lucent DHCP servers as well as appliances, enabling the
collection and monitoring of statistics and general operational information through the use of SNMP MIB
variables. This is available for both the server based architecture and is packaged with the appliance
solution. The Lucent DNS and DHCP servers can write information by using these MIB variables. The
variables offered by Alcatel-Lucent have been designed to be used in conjunction with the Internet MIB,
to allow monitoring of Lucent DHCP and DNS name services via SNMP by the Internet community.
Alcatel-Lucent has modified the Lucent DHCP server on all supported platforms to optionally support
SNMP. The statistical information gathered by the DHCP server through normal operations can be
written to the Alcatel-Lucent MIB variables. Alcatel-Lucent has implemented portions of the Lucent
DHCP MIB objects defined by the DHCP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
in a proposed draft. In particular, there is support for Bootp and DHCP counter and statistics groups.
Alcatel-Lucent has also provided extensions to the supported DNS MIB definitions. These MIBs are
used to count statistics that are not covered in the DNS MIB defined by RFC1611.
3.9 Reporting Capability
Within the next generation platform, VitalQIP has incorporated a new reporting packaged called Jasper
reports. It provides great flexibility and allows you to obtain management and operational reports
containing concise and pertinent information for certain aspects of the database. Reports can be generated
to the screen, to a printer, to a file, or emailed to an end-user or administrator. The information can be
sorted as required. Jasper Reports and Database schema information is also available should customers
wish to customize reports with an SQL report writer.
In the VitalQIP 7.2 application, reports can be obtained from the new Web GUI or the Thick Client. The
Web GUI contains a subset of reports as follows:
•
Address Allocator Reports – Pool and Block Audit and Usage Reports
•
Address Management – IPv4 and IPv6 Subnet Usage and Audit Reports
