Identifying problems using network view libraries

Use network view libraries to view the results of a discovery or to troubleshoot network problems.

Before you can work with network view libraries the administrator must complete the following tasks:
  • The first network discovery must have successfully completed.
  • The administrator must configure network view libraries for you, either by dynamically generating network views or by creating custom network views.

You can use different types of network view libraries to monitor different types of devices or device technologies.

  1. Click the Incident icon and select Network Availability > Network Views > Libraries.

    By default, the network view tree contains a separate IP network view hierarchy per domain for each network technology; you will see an IP network view hierarchy only for each domain. Optionally you can add an LTE network view hierarchy for each domain. Do this by creating a template-based dynamic view using the lte_default network view template..

  2. In the Network Views tree on the left of the widget, expand the network view nodes by clicking the + symbols.
  3. Select a network view with an event status icon of severity minor or higher.
    The network map displays subnets and devices in that network view. Faulty devices and subnets are marked with an event status icon. Names of faulty devices are highlighted in a color that corresponds to the event severity on that device. Hover over a device in a network view to display summary information about the device.
