FaultAnalytics
Company: Cisco
Details
Introduction
------------
The Fault Analytics app provides the ability to analyze historical Faults and Configuration changes (also known as Audit Logs) that occurred in the ACI setup.
Features
--------
* View details of Faults and Audit Logs over a selected period of time displayed in a time series chart.
* Adjustable time interval of interest that can be set from the last 24 hours to the last 12 months, as well as a custom time range.
* Multiple filters are available to focus on Faults and Audit Log entries of interest.
* Fault metrics can be organized by Tenant, Node, Type, Domain, etc...
* Dashboard windows can be created by selecting a bar of counts, where each Dashboard displays several metrics widgets.
* A table of individual Faults appears below these charts, ordered by time.
* Individual slices of each pie chart can be selected to filter the Faults table by that selection.
* Once a fault is selected in the table, all configuration changes that happened before that fault’s time-tag are displayed in an Audit Logs table below it; the look-back time is configurable.
Resources and Limitations
-------------------------
The app is currently set up to use a maximum of 2Gb memory and retains data for 30 days, after which older data is deleted. There is a 100k limit on the number of data points retained, after which new Faults and Audit Log entries are dropped. A message appears on the app once the database limit is reached. Given these limitations, we expect the app to be used in a small to medium-sized setup.
