Filters

You can use the Filter feature to display specific information about the Cisco Prime Infrastructure interface. The Filter icon is provided wherever the data is displayed in a tabular format. The following types of filters are available:

Quick Filters

This filter allows you to narrow down the data inside a table by applying a filter to a specific table column or columns. To apply different operators, use the Advanced Filter option (see Advanced Filters).

To launch the quick filter, choose Quick Filter from the Filter drop-down list.

To clear the Quick Filter, click Filter.

Advanced Filters

This filter allows you to narrow down the data in a table by applying a filter using multiple operators such as Does not contain, Does not equal, Ends with, Is empty, and so on. For example, you can choose the filter pattern by table column names and the operator from the drop-down list. In addition, you must enter filter criteria based on the data available in the Prime Infrastructure database.

To launch advanced filtering, choose Advanced Filters from the Filter drop-down list.

Figure 2. Advanced Filter


To save the filter criteria used in the Advanced filter, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Enter the advanced filter criteria, then click Go. The data is filtered based on the filter criteria.

Step 2

After the data is filtered, click the Save icon.

Step 3

In the Save Preset Filter dialog box, enter a name for the preset filter and click Save.

Dashboard Filters

The Filters toolbar allows you to narrow down the data that is displayed in all of the dashlets in a dashboard. Use this toolbar to filter the dashlets data by:

  • Time frame—Select one of the preset options or create a custom time frame.

  • Client —Select or enter the client atttribute.

    Note
    Client username field supports special characters except " (double quotes).

Step 2

Change the settings in any of the Filters toolbar options, then click Go.

Data Entry Features

In addition to the check boxes, drop-down lists and data entry fields common in most user interfaces, Cisco Prime Infrastructure uses some specialized data-entry features. These features are designed to keep your view of the network as uncluttered as possible, while still making it possible for you to add, update, and save your settings when needed. These specialized data-entry features include:

  • Edit Tables
  • Data Popups
Edit Tables

Cisco Prime Infrastructure uses tables to display many kind of data, including lists of sites, devices, and events. The data is arranged in rows and columns, much like a spreadsheet.

An edit table differs from other tables in that you can add, edit, or delete the data it contains. Some edit tables also give you access to filters (see Filters). Edit tables are often displayed in data popups that are triggered by check boxes.

Figure 4. Edit Table


To use edit tables:

  • To add a new row in the edit table:

Click the (+) icon, complete the fields in the new row, and click Save.

  • To delete one or more existing rows in an edit table:

Select the row header check box (at the extreme left of each row), then click Delete.

  • To update an entry in any field in any edit table row:

Click the row header or on the field itself, edit the contents, then click Save.

Data Pop-ups

A data popup is a window associated with a check box, anchored field, or other data-entry feature. It is displayed automatically when you select a feature, so that you can view or update the data associated with that feature. In addition to containing check boxes, drop-down lists, and data-entry fields, data popups can also contain edit tables.

To use a data popup:

  1. Select the feature that triggers the data popup, such as an anchored field or a check box.

  2. With the associated popup displayed, view or update the fields as needed.

  3. When you are finished, click anywhere outside the data popup. If you entered new information or changed existing information, your changes are saved automatically.

Interactive Graphs

Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides interactive line, area, pie, and stacked bar graphs of both time-based and non time-based data. Interactive graph features include the following:

  • Support for automatic refresh—The graphs refresh automatically within a predetermined time interval.
  • Two graph views:
    • Graph (Chart) view (this is the default)
    • Table (Grid) view
  • Graph enlargement
Related Topics
How to Use Interactive Graphs

The following table summarizes how to use interactive graphs.

Table 1. Using Interactive Graphs

To do this:

Do this:

Get help with the graph buttons

Hover your mouse cursor over the button. Cisco Prime Infrastructure displays a popup tooltip describing the button.

View the data as a graph or chart.

Click View in Chart.

View the data in grid or table form

Click View in Grid.

Enlarge the graph

Click the button located at the bottom right side of the graph. Cisco Prime Infrastructure displays an enlarged version of the graph in a separate page. The View in Chart and View in Grid toggle buttons are available in the new page, so you can change the type of enlarged graph displayed.

Related Topics
Time-based Graphs

Some graphs display time-based data. For these time-based graphs, Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides a link bar at the top of the graph. The link bar contains a set of links representing standard time-frames (such as the last six hours, one day, and so on) appropriate for the type of data in the chart. When you select one of these time-frame links, the data for that time frame is retrieved and the graph is refreshed to show only the data for that time-frame.

The time-frame links displayed in time-based graphs include the following:

  • 6h—Denotes the last six hours of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the current database table.
  • 1d—Denotes the last day (24 hours) of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the current database table.
  • 1w—Denotes the last week (seven days) of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the hourly aggregated table.
  • 2w—Denotes the last two weeks of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the hourly aggregated table.
  • 4w—Denotes the last four weeks of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the hourly aggregated table.
  • 3m—Denotes the last three months of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the daily aggregated table.
  • 6m—Denotes the last six months of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the weekly aggregated table.
  • 1y—Denotes the past year (12 months) of data from the current time. The data is gathered from the weekly aggregated table.
  • Custom—User-selected time period. You can set the day and time for the start and end dates. The use of a current or hourly, daily, or weekly aggregated source for data depends upon the selected start date.

The default, maximum and minimum retention periods for the aggregated data displayed in time-based graphs are controlled by Cisco Prime Infrastructure administrators. For details, see “About Historical Data Retention” in Related Topics.
