Inventory reports overview
General information
Inventory reports provide hardware configuration details at the card and port levels.
Results are colored when percentage of ports used exceeds user-defined thresholds:
-
Yellow coloring indicates that the utilization is equal to or above the warning threshold. The default threshold value is 70%.
-
Red coloring indicates that the utilization is equal to or above the critical threshold. The default threshold value is 90%.
Note: The report input options list all NEs that are compatible with Inventory reports, not only the NEs that are present. A report can only be generated for NEs found in the network.
Use cases
Network planning—Use the reports to plan for the acquisition of new hardware when required.
Prerequisites
Before an inventory report can be created, the NEs must be managed using NSP Classic mediation.
Drill-down reports
All reports can be run from the main Inventory reports folder. Some reports can also be run as drill-downs by clicking on a data point in another report.
The following table shows the drill-downs available for Inventory reports. Each level of indentation indicates a drill down.
