V4.2 Fix Pack 4:

Monitoring IP Service Level Agreement (IP SLA) configurations

You can visualize probes that are configured to monitor IP SLA response times, and their source and destination devices, by using network views.

Before using IP SLA views, configure IP SLA discovery.

You can view the events status of devices that act as a network probe source or target. The IP SLA views also show network probes attached by a dotted line to the source and target, where known. IP SLA views are created automatically; you can also create them manually.

To monitor devices running IP SLA, complete the following tasks.

  1. Click the Incident icon and select Network Availability > Network Views > Libraries.
  2. In the navigation tree on the left of the widget, click the + symbol to expand the IPSLA views node.
    A list of the IP SLA Probes that have been discovered is displayed.
  3. Click the name of the Probe to open a network view showing devices that are monitored by that Probe type.
    If you configured the Netcool/OMNIbus Knowledge Library for use with the SNMP Probe, IP SLA events are shown on the devices. The links between sources and targets are colored according to event severity.
  4. Select a link between devices, in the network views or in the Network Hop View, to display the Probes that are monitoring the link.
  5. Double-click a Probe icon, in the network views or in the Network Hop View, to open the Probe in the Structure Browser.
