Network inventory

1. Start by selecting the type of view you want:
   • Devices: View all monitored devices like routers, switches, firewalls, SDNs, SD-WANs, and more.
   • Interfaces: Drill down into interface-level metrics.

2. The doughnut chart gives the total number of monitored devices and their statuses. Use the legend to toggle monitors in the doughnut chart.
3. Below the chart, you’ll see a breakdown of Confirmed Anomalies and monitors in the following states: Discovery in Progress, Configuration Error(s), Suspended Monitors, and Maintenance.
4. Next, use List View or Tree View to organize devices as per your preference.
1. Group devices by category (e.g., SD-WAN, Switches).
2. Get visual insights with color-coded bars indicating each device's status.
5. You can also quickly locate a specific device using the search bar at the top-right corner.
6. Click the check boxes before the Status column for specific monitors and click Bulk Action to navigate to the Bulk Action page. You can also navigate directly to the Bulk Action page without choosing any monitors.
7. Click Network Discovery to initiate a network scan to discover new devices. Click the drop-down button beside Network Discovery to add Cisco Meraki, Cisco ACI, and VeloCloud SD-WAN monitors.
8. Click the NOC icon  to check the NOC view for all your monitors.
9. Click the home icon to set this page as the landing page.
10. Click License Summary to view the license consumption for all your network monitors.
11. The main panel displays all devices with the following columns, which you can sort and filter for better focus:

Column name	Description
Status	The current status of the monitor.
Display Name	A unique, user-defined display name that identifies the monitor.
Tags	User-defined labels assigned to group and filter devices easily.
IP Address	The unique network address of the device.
Device Type	Identifies the device type according to the device template (if it is an SNMP device) or the model number (if it is monitored through API).
Response Time	The time taken for the device to respond.
Packet Loss	The percentage of data packets lost in transit.
Active Interfaces	The number of interfaces currently in an active state.
Last Polled	The time when the device was last successfully polled.
Host Name	The name assigned to the device within the network.
Category	The device classification (such as switch, SDN, SD-WAN, custom device, etc.).
Vendor	The manufacturer or brand of the monitored network device.
Credential Name	The authentication profile used for device communication.
Protocol	The protocol (ICMP or RESTAPI) used for monitoring.
Serial Number	The manufacturer-assigned unique identifier for the device.
Firmware Version	The current firmware or OS version running on the device.
Performance Counters	The count of collected performance metrics like CPU, memory, traffic, etc.
Interface Discovery Rule	The rule applied to auto-detect and monitor interfaces. Edit the monitor details to change the rule.
On-Premise Poller Name	The name of the On-Premise Poller that is monitoring the device.
Discovered Time	The time when the device was first discovered.
Last Updated Time	The last time device details were updated.
NCM Monitor	Indicates whether the device is also added as an NCM monitor. If the device can be added as an NCM monitor, Enable will be shown in the column. Click Enable to start monitoring the device in NCM. If it is already monitored, the IP address of the NCM monitor will be displayed.
NetFlow Monitor	Indicates whether network traffic monitoring is enabled. If the device can be added as a NetFlow monitor, Enable will be shown in the column. Click Enable to start monitoring the device for traffic. If it is already monitored, the IP address of the NetFlow monitor will be displayed.
CPU Utilization	The percentage of CPU resources being used.
Memory Utilization	The percentage of memory currently consumed on the device.
Monitor Type	Specifies whether the device is a Network Device or any SDN or SD-WAN device (like VeloCloud Edge, Meraki Camera, Cisco ACI, etc.).
Customize Columns	Click the table icon  in the table header to add or remove columns as needed.
Actions	Click the hamburger icon in the last column of any monitor to view actions for that monitor.

NOC view

Click the NOC icon   next to the Last Polled selector on the Network Devices page to open the NOC view (Figure 1, marked as 5). This view displays each device as a color-coded tile. 

Statuses are displayed as:

You can filter the view based on these statuses. Every tile displays the device name and the reason for the current status.
