Navigating Cisco Prime Health and Utilization Monitor Tasks in LMS 4.1

Transcription

1 CHAPTER 6 Navigating Cisco Prime Health and Utilization Monitor Tasks in LMS 4.1 Cisco Prime Health and Utilization Monitor (HUM) is a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) based MIB polling application that monitors network elements (such as CPU, memory, interfaces/ports, and links) for their availability and utilization levels and provides historical reporting. This chapter provides mapping of HUM tasks in Cisco Prime LMS 4.1. It explains: Poller and Template Management Tasks Threshold and TrendWatch Tasks Reports Tasks Administration Tasks Poller and Template Management Tasks This section provides information on the following HUM tasks in LMS : Poller Management Tasks Template Management Tasks 6-1

2 Threshold and TrendWatch Tasks Chapter 6 Navigating Cisco Prime Health and Utilization Monitor Tasks in LMS 4.1 Table 6-1 Poller and Template Management Tasks Poller Management Tasks Managing Pollers Poller and Template Management > Poller Management Template Management Tasks Managing Templates Poller and Template Management > Template Management Monitor > Performance Settings: Setup > Pollers Monitor > Performance Settings: Setup > Templates A Poller is a collection of devices and template MIB variables configured in LMS to monitor the utilization and availability levels of devices that are connected to the network. You can create a Poller, modify the configuration of a Poller, delete a Poller, Activate or De-activate a Poller, clear missed cycles and so on. Templates are a logical group of MIB variables that allow you to monitor the performance parameters of a device (such as CPU, memory, interface) for utilization and availability levels. You can create a user-defined template, modify the configuration of a user-defined template, export and import a user-defined template, delete a user-defined template, and so on. Threshold and TrendWatch Tasks This section provides information on the following HUM tasks in LMS 4.1: Threshold Setup Tasks TrendWatch Setup Tasks 6-2

You can create a TrendWatch for a MIB variable, based on a template or on a threshold. You can create, modify, delete, activate or de-activate a TrendWatch. Reports Tasks This section provides information on the following HUM tasks in LMS 4.1: Report Management Tasks Report Job Browser Tasks Table 6-3 Reports Tasks Report Management Tasks Viewing and Managing Reports Report Job Browser Tasks Accessing Report Job Browser Reports > Report Management Reports > Report Job Browser Reports > Performance: Device Or Reports > Faults and Events: Threshold Violation Admin > Jobs: Browser You create, view, schedule and manage the following reports: Device Reports Quick Reports Poller Reports Custom Reports Threshold Violation Reports TrendWatch Reports TrendWatch Summary Reports The Job browser allows you to view the list of report jobs scheduled to generate reports. 6-3

Configure and manage log level settings. You can set log level modes (such as Fatal, Error, Info, Debug) either for all application modules or at a module level. You can configure LMS to periodically purge job data that you no longer need. LMS allows you to publish the PDF, HTML and CSV format of all the reports to a directory location of your choice. This is done by setting a default directory path. You can configure LMS to periodically purge polled data that you no longer need in the database. You can view the details of the data purged in LMS LMS allows you to configure the SNMP timeout and SNMP retries. The SNMP timeout and SNMP retries are based on the device and network response time. SNMP timeout is the duration of time that LMS waits for the device to respond before it tries to query the device again. SNMP retry is the maximum number of times LMS retries to query the device. 6-4

5 Chapter 6 Navigating Cisco Prime Health and Utilization Monitor Tasks in LMS 4.1 Administration Tasks Table 6-4 Administration Tasks (continued) Loading MIB files Load MIB Viewing Audit Trail Log Report Creating Trap Receiver Groups Creating a Syslog Receiver Group Audit Trail Logging Trap Receiver Groups Syslog Receiver Groups Admin > Network: Monitor/Troubleshoot > Load MIB Reports > Audit: Performance Monitor > Fault Settings: SNMP Traps > Receiving Or Admin > Network: Notification and Action Settings > Performance - SNMP Trap Notification Admin > Network: Notification and Action Settings > Performance - Syslog notification You can load a new MIB file into LMS using the Load MIB option. The new MIB file is compiled and stored in LMS. You can use the new MIB file to create new templates by grouping MIB variables. You can view the Audit Trail Logging report for all modules, categories and users. LMS allows you to create SNMP Trap Receiver Groups. This is a group of hosts that receives specified trap notifications, when any TrendWatch or Threshold violation occurs in LMS. LMS allows you to create Syslog Receiver Groups. Syslog Receiver Groups is a group of hosts that receives Syslog messages when any TrendWatch or Threshold violation occurs in HUM. 6-5
