Network Analytics Dashboard

The Network Analytics Dashboard provides an overview of WLAN and Wired metric values for Access Points. The scope of Access Points to monitor is defined using the display filters to specify an entire organization, site, building, or a set of Access Points. In addition, metric values can be displayed for a specific time frame. To access the Network Analytics Dashboard, click on Network > Analytics > Network Analytics under the “Monitor” section of the OmniVista Cirrus Menu.

Use the display filters on the dashboard to define the scope of activity that you want to monitor within a specific window of time.

Use the Network Analytics Dashboard to monitor and evaluate the following metric values:

• Network Analytics Summary

• Access Point Uptime

• Access Point Health (CPU / Memory / Flash)

• Device List

• Channel Distribution

• Channel Utilization

Use the Device List Health Thresholds, Device Thresholds and Site Thresholds metrics to configure and evaluate the Access Points Health threshold values. The CPU and memory health threshold values are configurable for a specific Access Point device; the CPU, memory, and flash health threshold values are configurable for all Access Points associated with a specific Site. Note that device threshold values take precedence over Site threshold values. See the Configure Network Analytics Thresholds online help for more information.

Use the Access Points Health metrics to watch for sustained usage that is close to the threshold values and identify peak usage rates.

Note: Changing any of the default Site or device threshold values will recalculate all three parameters of the Access Point Health dashboard and will change the threshold line in the Access Point Health Table. It is used to count number of healthy Access Points that are available now corresponding to the new threshold values.
