Integrated Fault and Performance
Fault and performance monitoring using separate products is an artifact of older technology. Even products that sew together multiple modules under the same name can’t begin to show a complete picture of network health as cohesively as dopplerVUE:

• Alarm information is cross-referenced across maps, charts, grids and detail windows.
• Performance is overlaid on maps using unique Doppler-effect that cycles through multiple metrics of your choice.
• Easily switch between performance and fault modes on maps.
• Create dashboards with pre-integrated performance gauges and alarm charts.
• Drag-and-drop process quickly creates or re-orients charts and gauges.
• Accepts status messages and alarms from any network element or Element Management System (EMS) via SNMP traps, notifications and syslog.
• Collect SNMP data through MIB-2 (including RMON and RMON2) and vendor-specific enterprise MIBs. Includes a MIB browser for viewing data.
• Access Windows event log data from application, security and system logs from inside dopplerVUE.

dopplerVUE offers comprehensive availability data with clear, consistent alarming:

• Alarming begins automatically upon installation
• Alarms are automatically generated from received SNMP traps, syslog events and built-in performance thresholds.
• Alarms use industry standard colors consistent across maps, grids and charts.
• Built-in alarm de-duplication and frequency counting simplifies alarm lists and minimizes noise.
• Sort alarm grids by any of 29 attributes, including:

Alarm ID Alarm Type Time Of First Occurrence Severity Status Occurrence Count Device Class Customer ID Trouble Ticket Physical Address Device Classification

Acknowledged By Classification Type Description Display Name From Agent Node Prefix Node name New occurrence count Time acknowledged Last occurrence 10 User Definable Fields

dopplerVUE performance data collection includes SNMP, WMI, IP SLA and NetFlow metrics to monitor virtually any data of interest, including:

• bandwidth utilization
• top traffic source and destination addresses
• top protocol source and destination ports
• http, jitter and echo tests
• interface discards and errors
• packets per second
• CPU, memory and disk space utilization on devices, servers and workstations
• availability
• packet loss
• latency

Beyond comprehensive data collection, the dopplerVUE difference is a focus on actionable intelligence using customizable filters and thresholds.  Now you can stop wasting valuable time searching through irrelevant data.

• Filter alarms on over 29 attributes.
• Filters can be based on one attribute or many.
• Filter Windows event log messages from application, security and system logs using 24 built-in filters or your own custom filters.
• Easily apply custom alarming rules to a single device, multiple devices, a class of devices or all devices.
• Set alarm creation or clearing rules for performance metrics, SNMP traps, syslog messages and Windows events.
• Configure threshold alarms on any collected performance metric using either a single value or range of values.
• Use the actual or average value of a metric in thresholds.
