Initializing Heuristic Packages to Monitor the Health of a Service
Objective
Enabling Service Health and using system designed Heuristic Packages to monitor the newly created service, or exporting them to your system to make adjustments before importing them back in Cisco Crosswork Network Controller, allows for customization of ongoing, detailed monitoring of your service’s health.
Note |
Three additional Rules have been added to assist in Basic monitoring level rules (Rule-L2VPN-NM- Basic, Rule-L2VPN-NM-P2P-Basic, Rule-L3VPN-NM-Basic ) where a rule to generate Assurance Graph information, for example Basic L2VPN NM P2P, services can be used along with two sub services. Heuristic Package Metrics now has the capability for CLI based metrics and GMNI filtering customizations of packages. |
Workflow
Select either a system or custom Heuristic Package for ongoing, specialized Service Health monitoring of your new VPN service.
Initialize a Heuristic Package to monitor health of the new service.

From the System tab, you can preview the package detail Rules, Configuration Profiles, Sub-Services, and Metrics by expanding each section for more information and hover your mouse over the information “I” icon for finer details.
-
You can click Export to download a System defined package to your system to make changes to the .json files before importing them to Cisco Crosswork Network Controller as a customized package.

If you exported a system file for customization, or you have custom packages on your system you want to import, click Import.
-
The Import Heuristic Packages screen opens and click Browse to find the name of your custom package on your system.
