Anomaly level
Nexus Dashboard proactively detects different types of anomalies across the network, analyzes the anomalies, and identifies remediation methods. The Anomaly level tile provides a status of your anomaly levels and a list of your top anomaly categories.
Nexus Dashboard monitors different sets of data from all nodes in the fabric and baselines the data to identify “normal” behavior. Any deviation is represented as an anomaly. Your time is better spent in resolving the issue instead of tracking the issue. Additionally, it can estimate the impact of the anomaly and generate a recommendation depending on the nature of the anomaly and thus reducing the Mean Time to Troubleshooting and Resolution (MTTR).
Click in the Anomaly level tile to navigate directly to the Anomalies tab in the Summary window. See [Anomalies] for more information.
Advisory level
Nexus Dashboard identifies field notices, software and hardware end-of-life and end-of-sale announcements, as well as PSIRTs that can potentially impact the network fabrics that it is monitoring, and generate advisories. Advisories provides recommendations to keep your network under support and running in optimal conditions. The Advisory level tile provides a status of your advisory levels and a list of your top advisory categories.
Click in the Advisory level tile to navigate directly to the Advisories tab in the Summary window. See [Advisories] for more information.

-
Latency: Measures the overall time in microseconds it takes a packet to go from one place to another.
-
Congestion: Measures network bandwidth utilization and quality of service (QoS) activation mechanisms to determine if a service is experiencing network congestion.
-
Drops: Measures the score or number of dropped packets versus transmitted packets considering factors such as CRC errors, faulty cables, and other devices.

-
Sustainability: Helps you monitor, predict, and improve your network’s energy usage, its related carbon emissions, and its total energy cost. The sustainability report enables you to get insights on energy utilization, CO2 emissions, and energy cost for all your fabrics on a monthly basis.
The report is generated by calculating the monthly values for Power Consumption and by summing the usage data across all of your devices at each of your fabrics for every single day in the chosen month. This data is then combined with the Cisco Energy Manager to provide greater insight into what that usage means in terms of energy cost, estimated emissions, and estimated switch power consumption. For more information about the Cisco Energy Manager, see Cisco Energy Manager.

Click View external traffic box to bring up a slide-in pane that provides additional information on external traffic for your fabric.
Fabric analysis
Once your fabric is onboarded and fully prepared, will start the analysis to collect data from your fabric and display the fabric information in the Fabrics page. The Fabric Analysis banner displays the progress of the analysis. The time to run the analysis depends on the size of the fabric. After you onboard and fully prepare your fabric, Nexus Dashboard starts analyzing the fabric to collect data and display the fabric information in the Fabrics page. The Fabric Analysis banner shows the progress of the analysis. The time required to complete the analysis depends on the size of the fabric.
Click View System Status to view the status.
During fabric analysis, telemetry collection, assurance analysis, bug scan, and best practices analysis are carried out automatically. See Assurance analysis and Bug Scan in Analyzing and Troubleshooting Your Network.
The Actions drop-down list in the Fabrics page provides the following functionalities for managing and interacting with the fabric.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
|
Edit Fabric Settings |
Allows you to modify the configuration settings of the fabric as needed. |
|
Add Switches |
Allows you to discover and add switches to a fabric. |
|
Recalculate and deploy |
Allows you to recalculate fabric policies and configurations, ensuring they are up-to-date and aligned with the desired state. Once recalculated, you can deploy these settings across the fabric. |
|
Configuration |
Allows you to define and manage the operational parameters of a fabric. |
|
Monitoring |
Allows you to oversee the performance and status of a fabric. You can click Analyze now to initiate a new analysis session. |
|
Maintenance |
Provides options to backup and restore a fabric. You can also suspend or resume alerts for the fabric, ensuring uninterrupted maintenance activities. For more information, see [Alert suspend mode for anomalies and advisories]. 
The suspend and resume alerts feature is available only for fabrics with Advantage and Premier license tiers and applicable to fabric management and telemetry anomalies. |
|
Telemetry |
Facilitates the configuration and collection of telemetry data for the fabric, aiding in detailed performance and operational insights. |
Assurance analysis
Assurance analysis involves collecting data from fabrics, running the analysis to create a model with the collected data, and generating the results.
-
Assurance analysis provides assurance in real time. During assurance analysis for online fabrics, the data collection, model generation, and results generation are carried out simultaneously. The collected data is analyzed immediately after collection followed by result generation. This is repeated after a fixed time interval or as specified by the user. For online fabrics, assurance analysis is performed automatically every 2 hours. The schedule is determined by the fabric size and scale. For larger fabrics, assurance analysis is performed automatically every 3-4 hours.
-
For snapshot fabrics, a one-time assurance is provided. This assurance analysis allows you to decouple the data collection stage from the analysis stage. The data is collected using a Python script and the collected data is then uploaded to Nexus Dashboard to provide a one-time assurance. The collected data can also be analyzed at a later time. It enables the user to collect the data during change management windows and then perform the analysis.
Assurance analysis guidelines and limitations
-
If you take the assurance analysis from a fabric and export the raw data set to upload a file to a Snapshot fabric, assurance analysis for the snapshot fabric will only generate assurance related anomalies.
-
Currently, if you begin an assurance analysis for a snapshot fabric, you can simultaneously continue to run the assurance analysis for online fabrics that are already in progress. They will all run without any disruption to the behavior.
-
Anomaly Rules and Compliance Rules are valid in assurance analysis for snapshot fabrics.
On-demand analysis
For online fabrics, assurance analysis is performed automatically, but you can also choose to request one at any time. This may be useful in cases where you resolve one or more issues in a fabric and would like Nexus Dashboard to poll the latest Anomalies and Advisories information without waiting for the next automatic run.
Similarly, you can also run an on-demand analysis for Bug Scan or Best Practices to reflect the latest status.
-
Navigate to Manage > Fabrics.
-
Choose Online or Snapshot fabrics from the drop-down list.
-
For an online fabric with telemetry enabled, click the fabric name to view the details.
-
Click Actions > Monitoring > Analyze now.
-
Choose the service. For Bug Scan, select the switches and click Run now.
-
-
For snapshot fabric, click the fabric name to view the details.
-
Click File History.
-
In the File History table, click the ellipsis icon and choose Run Analysis.
Best Practices job
Nexus Dashboard collects technical support information from the fabric and runs them against known set of signatures and then flags the defects that are not compliant. Nexus Dashboard also generates an anomaly list for you. See Detecting Anomalies and Identifying Advisories in Your Nexus Dashboard to learn more about Metadata support.
A Best Practices job is run for all the fabrics onboarded to Nexus Dashboard and is auto-scheduled every 7 days for each device. This schedule is fixed and is not customizable.
A Best Practices job is run on devices contained in a fabric either based on the last Best Practices job or the onboarding time if a Best Practices job has not been run before. Priority is given to devices with a longer time elapsed since the last Best Practices job. After a Best Practices job is run on a device, regardless of whether it succeeds or fails, another Best Practices job will not be run for the same device for the next 7 days.
However, the on-demand Best Practices job is an exception and is prioritized over any auto-scheduled runs. If an auto-scheduled Best Practices job is in progress and an on-demand Best Practices job is initiated, based on the available resources in the Nexus Dashboard nodes the on-demand Best Practices job will start while the current Best Practices job is in progress or after the current Best Practices job is completed.
Only one Best Practices job at the time can run on a specific device. However, if you have one set of devices where a Best Practices job is already in progress, a second (auto-scheduled or on-demand) Best Practices job can run only if Nexus Dashboard has enough resources available. Otherwise, it will be put on hold and started as soon as resources are available.
Run an on-demand Best Practices job
You can also run an on-demand Best Practices job for a fabric. See On-demand analysis.
You can only run one on-demand Bug Scan or Best Practice job in Nexus Dashboard at any given instance. Once an on-demand job is started, the UI takes up to a minute to grey out. If you trigger another on-demand job while the UI is not greyed out, the job will fail.
Policy-based redirect service chain assurance
In a Cisco ACI fabric, with policy-based redirect (PBR) support, the Nexus Dashboard assurance engine checks for inconsistencies with device cluster, device selection policy, deployment of vPC nodes, and device cluster deployment for unmanaged single nodes in the GoTo mode.
Nexus Dashboard assures PBR service graphs. If all conditions listed below are met, there will be no false positive anomalies. However, if any of the conditions are not met, then PBR service graphs are not assured and they may result in false positives.
-
A service graph template must have route redirect enabled.
-
Only a single service node is supported and the service node must be in the GoTo mode Function Type under the Function Node properties.
-
The direct connect option for service graphs is not supported, therefore you must set the value to False.
-
The set of provider/consumer bridge domains must not overlap with the set of shadow EPG bridge domains. Additionally, every shadow EPG must have its own bridge domain.
-
The provider EPG and the consumer EPG must be one of the following types: an L3Out EPG, an application EPG, or a vzAny EPG.
-
In a transit routing case with a PBR contract, the provider L3Out and consumer L3Out must be different L3Outs. PBR destinations in an L3Out is not supported.
-
There must be a single service graph per contract, and the service graph must be bidirectional.
-
There must be no filters set on the function node connectors under the service graph template.
-
Only one service graph per contract is supported.
-
Subnets on logical interface contexts are not supported.
-
The backup PBR policy feature (introduced in Cisco APIC release 4.2(1)) is not supported.
-
If you use the threshold-redir command, you must set the threshold down action to permit.
-
Filters from a contract for a PBR service graph template is not supported.
Policy-based redirect anomalies
In a Cisco ACI fabric, the anomaly Service Chain Redirect Policy Violation is used for PBR assurance.
The following checks are performed before the Service Chain Redirect Policy Violation is generated:
-
If one or more zoning rules contracts are missing or do not match the APIC configurations.
-
If redirect destination or redirect destination group which is used by deployed PBR graph is in disabled state.
As a result, traffic will not be redirected as expected for the contract and graph instance.
If IP-SLA policy or health group is not enabled in the PBR redirect policy, the anomaly Service Chain Redirect Policy Violation will not be generated even if the redirect destination is not reachable. In this case, the anomaly PBR Redirect Destination Learning Error will be generated.
Alerts suspend mode for anomalies and advisories
When you place a fabric in Alerts suspend mode, Nexus Dashboard does not display any new anomalies or advisories generated for that fabric in the Fabric Overview page. However, you will still see all pre-existing alerts. Once you resume alerts, Nexus Dashboard includes both pre-existing alerts and those generated during the suspend mode in the default views.
Alerts suspend mode is especially useful when you make changes to a fabric or switch, as these changes may trigger numerous anomalies and advisories that resolve once the changes are complete. By enabling this mode, you prevent these anomalies and advisories from cluttering the default views.
You can enable Alerts suspend mode only at the fabric level specifically on the primary cluster of that fabric. When enabled, Nexus Dashboard also suspends alerts on the remote telemetry clusters of the same fabric. Alerts suspend mode is supported only for online fabrics and not supported for snapshot fabrics.
Follow these steps to enable Alerts suspend mode for a fabric.
