How do I examine a port in the Troubleshooting Summary dashboard?
Port troubleshooting
The Port Troubleshooting Summary dashboard consists of a selection of dashlets intended to show an overall picture of a selected port, 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. Cross-launch to an alternate view via links or alarm circles is not possible if the related object is not part of a resource group.
The Port Summary dashboard provides NE information in a series of dashlets:
-
Port Overview - type and address information for the selected port
-
Current Health Summary - overall operational status of the selected port
-
Analytics reports - a list of Analytics reports that can be run on the selected port
-
Equipment Overview - equipment model and version information for the selected port
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.

Use the following dashboard features to troubleshoot a port:
-
