Configuring Test Parameters and Threshold Template for WAN Monitor
Define a template with the
required WAN monitoring settings to be used for monitoring performance.
The RTT template comes with pre-populated default values. OpManager
uses the configured values to simulate traffic. Incase you would like
to effect some changes to the values before initiating monitoring, make
the changes as follows
Configuring Test Parameters
OpManager uses the default settings specified here,
- Payload:The
default value is 24 kb. Specify an echo payload value in the range
of 0 to 16384.
- Type of Service:
Specify the Echo TOS in the range of 0 to 255, the default being 30.
- Operation Frequency:
Specify the interval in the range of 0 to 604800 msecs. The default
interval is 60. The operation frequency is the frequency with which QoS
metrics are collected by the IP SLA agent on your network to determine
performance.
- Operation Timeout:
Specify the timeout in the range of 0 to 604800000, the default being
60 msecs. Make sure that the timeout interval is lesser than the
configured operation frequency so that if the operation is not
successful, that is, if there is no response from the device, or in the
event of a delay, the request is timed out and the subsequent operation
is launched at the configured frequency correctly.
- Enable Traceroute: This option helps you determine the
latency of each hop from source to destination, and enabled by default.
To disable, select 'No' radio button.
Defining Threshold for Round Trip Time
You
can define a threshold template so that you are alerted with the WAN
monitor violates a specified value. Here are the steps to define a
threshold template:
- Go to Admin-> WAN Monitors > Settings> Threshold
Template.
- Configure
the upper and lower threshold limits for Round Trip time in
msecs, the
range being 0 to 60000 msecs.
- Choose the required notification
profiles that are already configured in OpManager, to alert you.
