Network Monitoring
The Network Monitoring menu contains submenus that display system-configured dashboards. These dashboards are tailored to provide comprehensive visual representations of network data and performance metrics. Users can access detailed insights into devices configured for distinct time periods, including 15 minutes, 30 minutes,1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 1 year. Users can utilize these submenus to track historical trends, analyze patterns, and assess the performance of network devices across different durations.
This chapter describes the following sections:
View Device Metrics
The Device Metrics dashboard allows you to monitor resources for mounted devices. Using RESTCONF monitoring capabilities, the dashboard presents comprehensive information encompassing CPU, disk, memory, and host-related metrics.
The following list provides details on key features of device metrics:
Field | Description |
