Learn how to assign colour thresholds for link health metrics on topology maps, enabling visual categorization of network links based on metrics such as delay, jitter, packet errors, packet drops and loss.
Configure colour thresholds for link health to enhance real-time monitoring and visualization of the network status
Link health is visualized in both logical and geographical maps. Assigning colour thresholds to metrics helps you quickly identify potential issues in network links.
Before you begin
-
Verify that Segment Routing Performance Monitoring (SR-PM) is enabled if you want to use delay and jitter metrics. Enabling SR-PM requires installation of Service Health, available as part of the Crosswork Network Controller Advantage package.
-
Refer to the Enable SR-PM monitoring for links and TE policies section in the Cisco Crosswork Network Controller Service Health Monitoring guide for detailed steps.
Procedure
| 1. | From the main menu, choose . |
|
| 2. | Under Topology, select Metric thresholds. |
|
| 3. | Define the colour criteria for links. Each row defines a color and the percentage range that the color will represent.
|
The topology map updates to reflect your colour threshold settings and device state preferences, improving visibility into network health.
