The Watchlist opens from the Network Map and Health dashboard or Object Troubleshooting dashboard to a separate browser tab. It allows you to monitor a shortlist of NEs and services that you want to keep under scrutiny and access easily. Objects in the Watchlist display basic KPIs, and the Trending indicator tells you if an object’s condition is changing.

You add network objects to the Watchlist from the Topology map view and from object lists in the Network Inventory.

You can also add NEs to the Watchlist from:

• Current Alarms, Unhealthy NEs view

• Top Problems view, alarm NE Matrix tile

• Unhealthy NE tile

Information in the Watchlist is refreshed every 30 seconds.

Note: If you have upgraded from NSP release 23.8 or earlier, NEs and services in user watch lists are not carried over into the Watchlist and you will need to re-add them. This action is only required once.

An object in the Watchlist displays a Trending indicator that tells you if the object is stable or affected by problems:

• An Upward trending arrow means the object is impacted by new issues.

• A Downward trending arrow means the number of issues impacting the object is diminishing.

• A Flat trending indicator means the object’s condition has remained unchanged.

• A Change indicator means the current value is the same as the initial value, but it has fluctuated during the trending period (configured in the Network Map and Health view settings).
