Importing network data in the IBM Network Intelligence
Network Intelligence analyzes your network data to detect anomaly and identifies related network issues and alarms. You can import the real-time and historical network data in Network Intelligence from various network tools and vendors.
Network Intelligence supports network data from the following data sources:
- SevOne
- HPE Juniper Mist
- IBM Cloud Storage Object
- Network context documents
- Data lakes
Importing historical network data in the Network Intelligence
You can import the historical network data to Network Intelligence with one of the following methods:
Streaming network data in Network Intelligence
You can stream the real-time network data from the network management tool to Network Intelligence using one of the following methods:
All data enters Network Intelligence via Kafka, which is exposed to the public by DNS (Domain Name System) using a specific port (HTTPS/TLS 443).
For SevOne, which is on-prem, Network Intelligence exposes a Kafka cluster that you can configure your SevOne instance to talk to via a public IP address/port.
For Juniper Mist, which is a cloud-based SaaS service, you just need to allow your device to talk to Mist, but there are no additional firewall implications for the Network Intelligence to Mist connection.
Importing network data in custom format with the IBM Cloud Object Storage
You can import the network data in various formats from your data sources like data lakes or vendors. For more information, see Importing network data in custom format.
Importing network context documents in the Network Intelligence
Network Intelligence retrieves information from the network context documents to improve the accuracy of root cause analysis (RCA) and remediation for the network anomalies.
To import network context documents, see Importing network context documents in IBM® Network Intelligence .
