Introduces the Data Gateway UI structure and explains how to navigate its key elements, features, and controls for monitoring, filtering, and managing Data Gateway VMs and pools efficiently.

This section introduces the user interface elements that help you maximize the capabilities of Data Gateway. It also provides guidance on navigating these elements efficiently.

An overview of the Data Gateway UI structure and its key features and controls offers essential information for navigating and managing Data Gateway VMs effectively.

The Data Gateway UI equips administrators with comprehensive tools to monitor, filter, and manage pools for streamlined network operations. For information on navigating through the Data Gateway UI, see Access the Data Gateway UI.
Familiarity with the Crosswork Data Gateway UI components allows you to navigate the Crosswork UI easily and efficiently. For more information, see Data Gateway UI components.

Access the Data Gateway UI

The Data Gateway user interface provides administrators with tools to monitor, filter, and manage pools efficiently.

Before you begin

Ensure that you are familiar with the Crosswork Network Controller user interface.

Use these steps to access and use the Data Gateway user interface.

Procedure

	1.	Log in to Cisco Crosswork Network Controller.
	2.	Go to Administration > Data Gateway Management.
	3.	Use the donut chart legends to filter the table by administration state. Figure 1. Data Gateway management To view pools with the administration state Up, click the Up icon next to the chart. The table displays only pools with the selected state.
	4.	Show or hide columns in the pools table using the Settings menu.
	5.	Select or clear multiple items using the table’s selection controls.

You can now monitor and manage pools using the Data Gateway interface’s filtering and selection features.

Data Gateway UI components

Provide an overview of the Data Gateway user interface components, including descriptions of the various tabs and table columns available on the Data Gateway Management page, to help users understand and navigate the Data Gateway UI.

The Data Gateway Management page has three tabs.

Data gateways: Displays details of the virtual Data Gateway instances in the network. You can attach or detach devices to the Data Gateway from this tab.
Pools: Manages the Data Gateway pools.
Data gateways instances: Manages the virtual Data Gateway instances.

This table explains the various columns in the Data Gateway Managements page.

Table 1. Data Gateway user interface components
Column	Description
Operational State	Operational state of the Data Gateway instance. A Data Gateway has these operational states: Degraded: The Data Gateway is reachable but one or more of its components are in a state other than OK. Up: The Data Gateway is operational and all individual components are OK. Error: The Data Gateway instance is unreachable or some of its components are in Error state.
Administration state	Administration state of the Data Gateway instance. The state could be any of these: Up: The instance is administratively up. Maintenance: Operations between Cisco Crosswork and Data Gateway are suspended to perform upgrades or other maintenance activities (for example, uploading certificates). Patch in progress: The process of installing or applying a patch on the Data Gateway is currently ongoing. Patch failed: The process of installing or applying a patch on the Data Gateway failed. An info icon appears only when the administration state is Patch failed. Click to view detailed failure information.
High availability status	High availability status of a Data Gateway could be either: Protected: All instances are in the UP state, and the number of standby instances in the pool matches the number of active instances. Not protected: All standby instances are DOWN. Limited protection: At least one standby instance in the pool is in the UP state. None planned: No standby instances were added to the pool during pool creation.
Devices	Number of devices that are attached to the Data Gateway pool.
Name	Name of the Data Gateway instance. Clicking the icon next to the name displays the enrollment details of each instance. This includes details such as the: Virtual IP Addresses Data Gateway Instance Name Description Data Gateway Instance Type that indicates the profile of Data Gateway. Data Gateway Instance UUID Click the instance name to open the Data Gateway vitals page. The page displays the operations and health summary of a Data Gateway.
Pool name	Name of the Data Gateway pool. On clicking the pool name, the Data Gateway vitals page opens.
Site name	Site to which the Data Gateway instance is assigned. Note This column is only displayed with the geo redundancy feature enabled. For information on the geo redundancy capabilities, see the Enable Geo Redundancy section in the Cisco Crosswork Network Controller 7.2.x Installation Guide.
Data gateway instance role	Indicates the current role of the Data Gateway instance. The role could be any of these: Assigned: The Data Gateway instance is attached to a pool. Unassigned: The Data Gateway instance is not attached to any pool. Spare (Active): The Data Gateway instance is a spare instance that is used during failover process in an active site. Spare (Standby): The Data Gateway instance acts as a spare instance for failover procedures in a standby site.
Outage history	Outage history of the Data Gateway instance over a period of 14 days. State aggregation for a day follows this order of precedence: Error, Degraded, Up, Unknown, and Not Ready. For example, if the Data Gateway instance went Unknown to Degraded to Up, the color is displayed as Degraded (orange) for that day as Degraded takes precedence over Up and Unknown. If the Data Gateway was in Error state at any time during that day, the tile is Red. If the Data Gateway was not in Error but was in Degraded state at any time during the day, the tile is orange. If the Data Gateway was not in Error or Degraded state and was only Up during the day, the tile is green.
Average availability	Value indicating the health of the Data Gateway instance. This percentage is calculated as the total time (in milliseconds) a Data Gateway was in the UP state over the time between start time of first event and end time of last event. Note The end time of the last event is the current timestamp, so the duration of the last event is between its start time and the current timestamp.
Data gateway instance name	Name of the Data Gateway that is created automatically when you add a Data Gateway instance to a pool. Clicking the icon next to the instance name displays the enrollment details of each instance. This includes details such as the: Instance name, type, role, UUID, OS version Description CPU Memory Number of NICs Interface roles, MAC, IPv4 and IPv6 address The Additional interface role information describes the interface roles available in Data Gateway.
Attached device count	Indicates the number of the devices that are attached to the Data Gateway pool.
PDG identifier	Unique identifier of the physical Data Gateway instance.
Actions	Click to view the actions that you can perform on the pool: Attach devices. For more information, see Attach devices to Data Gateway. Detach devices. For more information, see Detach devices from Data Gateway. Move devices. For more information, see Move devices to a different Data Gateway. Initiate a failover. For more information, see Perform a manual failover.
