Page 199: Installing The User-Defined History Files
Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices Installing the User-Defined History Files Once the user-defined history files have been created, the files need to be installed. History files are installed from the command-line prompt in NetScout Manager Plus. Should the FrameSaver unit be reset, these files will need to be reinstalled.
Page 200: Monitoring A Dlci's History Data
Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices Monitoring a DLCI’s History Data Once the monitoring variables have been defined, a problem DLCI can monitored. Procedure To monitor user history data: 1. From the NetScout Manager Plus main window, with the FrameRelay radio button still selected, select the Traffic radio button.
Page 201 Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices 5. Select History List from the View menu. The History List window opens. The newly defined user history variables should appear on this list. 6. Highlight the desired set of user history variables, and select the OK button. Data is gathered based upon the configured user history variables.
Page 202: Monitoring The Agent Using Netscout Manager Plus
Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices Using the 2D or 3D Bar to view the user history data collected, you can click on a particular bar and get an expanded view of the data. 8. Click anywhere on this window to return to the previous window view (see Step 7 of this procedure).
Page 203 Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices Procedure 1. Select the Traffic radio button to monitor the newly added agent, or one of its DLCIs. 2. Highlight an agent in the agent list box so that its DLCIs appear in the DLCI list box (under the agent list box).
Page 204: Statistical Windows Supported
Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices Statistical Windows Supported Not all icons that appear on the NetScout Manager Plus main window are supported for FrameSaver units. For example, All Convs (conversations) and TopNConv icons appear when the Protocol radio button is selected, but conversations are not supported.
Page 205: Setting Up Network Health For Framesaver Devices
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices FrameSaver units are compatible with Concord Communication’s Network Health software. In addition, Network Health has released the first in a series of software modules that integrate FrameSaver SLV enhanced performance statistics into its reporting package (see the FrameSaver SLV report example on page 9-9).
Page 206: Installation And Setup Of Network Health
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices For additional information about installing, accessing, and managing FrameSaver SLV devices through Concord’s Network Health, and for information about applicable reports, refer to: Network Health Installation Guide to help you install the application. Network Health User Guide to help you get started using the application.
Page 207: Discovering Framesaver Elements
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Discovering FrameSaver Elements Once licenses are entered and you have access to the applications, the Discover dialog box opens. Use this dialog box to search for SLV units in your network and discover their DLCIs. Saving the results of the search creates definitions in the Poller Configuration, which are used to poll the units.
Page 208: Configuring The Discovered Elements
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Configuring the Discovered Elements Network Health sets the speed for discovered elements when it polls the unit for the first time. For a FrameSaver SLV unit, the speed set would be the unit’s CIR. No additional configuration should be required.
Page 209: Grouping Elements For Reports
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Grouping Elements for Reports Once the discovery process is completed and required changes are made, the newly discovered elements (DLCIs) should be organized into a group for Health reporting. Grouping makes for easier monitoring and management of similar node types (e.g., all SLV elements).
Page 210: Generating Reports For A Group
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Generating Reports for a Group Once Network Health has had sufficient time to gather data from the polled DLCIs and the DLCIs have been grouped, you can start generating reports. When selecting a report Section, select WAN from the drop-down list. See Running Reports from the Console in the Network Health Reports Guide for additional information.
Page 211: About Trend Reports
Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices About Trend Reports By specifying specific variables like bandwidth, trend analysis can be performed and shown on Trend Reports. Up to ten variables for a DLCI, or ten DLCIs on one variable can be generated on a single trend report. Information can be presented in a line graph, pie chart, bar chart, or table format.
Page 212 Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices — Elements Summary Report – Compares DLCI traffic with volume and the baseline, bandwidth utilization, and errors. Use this report for DLCI detail information and comparison, to identify DLCIs with above or below average volume so they can be investigated when there are any significant changes.
Page 213 Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices Trend Reports – Perform trend analysis on up to ten specified variables for DLCIs. Variables other than bandwidth can be selected for a trend report (e.g., burst octets), but a bandwidth trend report should be generated when investigating problems that appear on Exceptions Reports, Supplemental Reports, and Health reports.
