NE troubleshooting
The NE Troubleshooting Summary dashboard consists of a selection of dashlets intended to show an overall picture of a selected network element, providing the necessary information to troubleshoot it. On alarm dashlets, you can click on an alarm KPI to open the related alarms in a list view.
The Troubleshooting Summary dashboard provides information in a series of common dashlets that appear for all object types:
-
NE Overview - IP address, model, and location information for the selected NE
-
Current Health Summary - operational status of the selected NE
-
Alarm Summary - alarm counts for the selected NE
Click on an alarm KPI to view the alarms in the Current Alarms list, filtered to the KPI.
-
Analytics reports - a list of Analytics reports that can be run on the selected NE
If you need to refer back to an object you had previously opened in the Object Troubleshooting dashboard, click Target History and select an object from the drop-down list.
