Overview Details

The following appear below Overview.

Hover over the Anomaly Level to see what category the anomalies belong to. Click the Anomaly Level to get more specific information on the anomalies present for this controller. A slide-in appears, showing all the anomalies that occurred for this controller. See Anomalies to understand how to navigate across the anomalies.

Hover over the Advisory Level to see what category the advisories belong to. Click the Advisory Level to get more specific information on the advisories present for this switch.

Interfaces provides the following information:

Click on the number above the Total text to get additional information on the interfaces in this switch.

You can filter the list of interfaces based on Anomaly Level, Interface, Type, Operational status and Admin status. Click on a specific interface listed under the Interface column to get additional information on that particular interface. See Interface Details for more information.

Within the Switch View, you can see the status of the interfaces, where the state could be Up (green),Down (red), or Not in Use (gray).

If the switch has multiple modules installed, you can switch the views between the different modules. Click View All to see the switch view for all modules installed.

Real Time Visualization (RTEV) feature facilitates real-time event rendering within a user interface (UI) environment. This feature allows for the smooth integration of real-time events directly into the UI, ultimately enhancing the user experience and delivering the most up-to-date information in real-time. RTEV supported features provide the current data in 1 minute when the change happens which otherwise takes 5 minutes to get updated via the regular pipeline.

Real-time values are shown to the right of the vertical bar. Historical values (past 2 hours) are shown to the left of the bar and may have larger gaps between data points.

---

Controller events are not real time and RTEV is limited to switches only. Only 10 sessions per pod can have real-time data for physical and virtual deployment profiles. If there are more than 10 sessions then the data will be sent via regular pipeline. All other deployment profiles support 20 sessions.

View Hardware Resources

Click View Hardware Resources to view a slide-in which appears with information on the hardware resources for this switch in real time. Real Time Visualization helps view up to date information about the resources. Hardware resources shows the variations in the hardware resources over the time range selected. The hardware resources displayed with the percentage utilized per component are CPU, Fan Utilization, Memory, Power Supply, Storage, and Temperature. Click any resource to view further details about it.

For hardware resources all parameters are updated in real-time based on the cadence from the switch when it sends the data.

View Capacity

Click View Capacity to view a slide-in appears with capacity information for the switch. Capacity details shows the variations in operational, configuration and interface resources over the time range selected.

Type of Resource	List of resources
Operational Resources	IPV4 (learned) IPV4 Host Routes IPV6 (learned) IPV6 Host Routes MAC (learned) Multicast Routes Policy TCAM LPM
Configuration Resources	BD EPG VLAN VRF
Interface Resources	Egress Port Bandwidth Ingress Port Bandwidth Port Usage

The port diagram key helps understand the switch view. Click any interface in the switch view to get more details about the interface. See [IInterface Details] for more information.

General provides the following information :

Field	Description
Fabric	The fabric where each switch resides
Role	The role defines what the device is
Type	The type defines the type of switch
Connectivity to Insights	Connectivity status for switch
Telemetry Collection Status	Telemetry collection status provides insights into the health and performance of the switches and devices in your network. The different telemetry collection statuses at the fabric level include: OK - This status indicates that the telemetry data streaming from a switch to Nexus Dashboard Insights is functioning correctly. This is the desired state, as it ensures comprehensive monitoring and visibility into the network’s performance. Not OK - This status indicates the telemetry data streaming from a switch to Nexus Dashboard Insights is not functioning correctly. This could be as a result of various problems, such as network outages, misconfigurations, or hardware failures. Partial OK - This status indicates that telemetry data streaming from the switch to Nexus Dashboard Insights is not functioning correctly from some parts of the switch but it is functioning correctly from others. This suggests an inconsistent or partial telemetry data flow within the network which could be caused by various factors, such as switch specific issues or misconfigurations.
Software Version	The version of the software on the switch
Last Software Update	The date when the software was last updated on this switch
Uptime	The amount of time that this switch has been up. You will also see when the switch was last rebooted
Model	The model type for this switch
Serial Number	The serial number for this switch
Out-of-Band IPv4 Address	The IPv4 address for the out-of-band management of this switch
Out-of-Band IPv6 Address	The IPv6 address for the out-of-band management of this switch
In-Band IPv4 Address	The IPv4 address for the in-band management of this switch
Switch ID	The ID of the switch
Created At	The date and time the switch was created
