dopplerVUEWhile dopplerVUE collects metrics most common in network performance management, dopplerVUE polls even more deeply for network performance trends and fluctuations that impact a network. dopplerVUE uses several types of performance data collection, including:

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
dopplerVUE accesses WMI performance collectors that gather potentially thousands of performance metrics from core devices in the network infrastructure. The data from WMI collectors is then used by dopplerVUE to deeply monitor network performance and includes:

  • WMI data templating to quickly collect performance metrics from key business components, e.g.
    • Microsoft Exchange Servers
    • DNS Servers
    • FTP Servers
    • ISA Servers
    • SQL Servers
    • Active Directory
    • IIS and more
  • Performance data collection from remote computers to facilitate network management.
  • WMI data in graphic formats for faster troubleshooting.
  • Customizable performance polling intervals for more frequent data collection.

Cisco Internet Protocol Service Level Agreements (IP SLA)
dopplerVUE polls IP SLA-enabled devices for information about network and performance disruptions that can affect service quality. dopplerVUE’s ability to collect and display IP SLA data:

  • Allows network administrators to better maintain quality for IP services using jitter, http, and echo test results.
  • More accurately gauges service and network response times needed to troubleshoot problems.
  • Visualizes IP SLA test results in easy-to-use graphic formats.

Cisco NetFlow
The NetFlow protocol collects IP traffic data from Netflow-enabled devices. dopplerVUE leverages NetFlow to display and report real-time usage issues. This NetFlow integration helps to:

  • spot the most traffic-causing users from bandwidth utilization charts and detailed reports.
  • easily troubleshoot service and resource problems with real-time usage information.
  • better distribute network resources, change resource usage policies, and facilitate capacity planning with network flow data.
  • visualize IP flow information from within dopplerVUE, no separate module or collectors required.
