Access Device Details

NNMi provides forms that help you easily view all details associated with a managed object, such as a node, SNMP agent, interface, address, subnet, or connection.

NNMi also provides an Analysis Pane that displays related information about an object. NNMi performs the appropriate analysis on the object and determines the related information to display. See Use the Analysis Pane for more information.

ClosedFrom a table view, to view all details associated with an object:
  1. From the workspace navigation panel, select a workspace containing a view of the object of interest.
  2. Select a view that contains the specific object (for example, Inventory workspace, Nodes view).
  3. Double-click the row representing an object.
  4. The form displays, containing details of all information related to the object.

  5. View or edit the details of the selected object:

    Node Form

    Interface Form

    IP Address Form

    SNMP Agent Form

    Web Agent Form (NNMi Advanced)

    IP Subnet Form

    VLAN Form

    Chassis Form

    Card Form

    Port Form

    Node Sensor Form

    Physical Sensor Form

    Layer 2 Connection Form

    Chassis Redundancy Group Form

    Card Redundancy Group Form

    Router Redundancy Group Form (NNMi Advanced)

    Node Group Form

    Interface Group Form

    MPLS WAN Cloud Form (NNMi Advanced)

    Custom Node Collections Form

    You can also access:

ClosedFrom a map view, to view all details associated with an object:

  1. Display a map using the Topology Maps or Troubleshooting workspace, or the Actions → menu.

    You can also right-click any object in a table or map view to access the items available within the Actions menu.

    Note If the map requires a starting node before it displays, enter the name or IP Address for the starting node you want to use.

  2. After the map displays, select the object and click the  Open icon in the tool bar.
  3. The form displays, containing details of all information related to the object.

  4. View or edit the details of the selected object.

ClosedFrom an Analysis Pane, to view all details associated with an object:

    • Access the Analysis Pane from a table view:

      1. Select the workspace of interest (for example,  Inventory).
      2. Select the view that contains the object of interest (for example, the Nodes view).
      3. Select the row that contains the object of interest.
      4. NNMi displays detailed information at the bottom of the view in the Analysis Pane.

    • Access the Analysis Pane in a map view:

      1. Select the workspace of interest (for example,  Topology Maps).

      2. Select a map view (for example, select Routers).

        If the map requires a starting node before it opens, enter the name or IP Address for the starting node you want to use.

      3. Click the map object of interest.
      4. NNMi displays detailed information at the bottom of the view in the Analysis Pane.

    • Access the Analysis Pane in a form:

      • Click the form's toolbar Show Analysis icon to display information about the current form's top-level object in the Analysis Pane.

        Show Analysis always displays the top-level object's information.

      • Click a row in a table on one of the form's tabs to display detailed information about the selected object in the Analysis Pane.

      NNMi displays detailed information at the bottom of the form in the Analysis Pane. See Working with Objects for more information about forms.

  2. Open the Analysis Pane if necessary by clicking the expand button in the Analysis Pane banner bar:

    If you change views, NNMi clears the Analysis Pane. The Analysis Pane remains blank unless an object is selected.

    If you select multiple objects, the Analysis Pane displays data about the first selected object.

  3. Using the Analysis Pane: 

    • To resize, place your mouse cursor over the title bar to display the ↕ symbol and drag to adjust the size.

    • To refresh a subset of information in the Analysis Pane, click any displayed Refresh icon .

      To refresh all data in the Analysis Pane, open the object's form and click Refresh or Save.

    • To launch an SNMP Line Graph for the selected metric, click the icon that appears at the bottom of each gauge.
    • To select and copy the tooltip information, double-click the gauge. NNMi opens a text window that enables you to select and copy the tooltip information.

    • The Gauges tab shows real-time SNMP gauges to display State Poller and Custom Poller SNMP data.

      • These gauges are displayed for Nodes, Interfaces, Custom Node Collections, and for Node Sensors of type CPU, Memory, or Buffers, and Physical Sensors of type Backplane.

      • NNMi displays a gauge for each significant MIB Object Identifier (OID) that the node or interface supports, up to the default maximum of 24.

      • Each gauge displays the current OID value, using the default refresh rate of 15 seconds.

      • The value range displayed indicates the OID minimum and maximum values that NNMi has encountered.
      • For any gauge that tracks percentage values, NNMi uses a red line to indicate where the OID value is near 100 percent.

      • There is not a one-to-one match between the OIDs used to analyze monitoring thresholds and those displayed in the Analysis Pane. For example, the Analysis Pane might display a Cisco Memory Pool OID value that does not match the value used to calculate whether the Memory Utilization Monitored Attribute threshold is reached or exceeded. This is because some threshold metrics require more complex calculations than a single OID allows. 

        If a gauge label appears to be a duplicate value, mouse over the label to view the more complete tooltip name that appears.
