Nodes’ Status Summary
The nodes’ status summary widget presents a graph that allows you to quickly view the current status of the physical nodes that GigaVUE-FM is managing and the number of nodes in a particular status, which is indicated by a color in the graph. The possible statuses are:
| • | Normal (green) |
| • | Warning (yellow) |
| • | Error (orange) |
| • | Critical (red) |
For information about how the device status is computed, refer to Node Health Status.
Hovering the mouse over an area in the graph displays the percentage of nodes in that status. In Figure 954: Nodes’ Status Widget, the widget shows that there are 5 nodes in Normal status, 4 nodes in Warning status, and 5 nodes in Critical status. There are no nodes in Error status.
Figure 954: Nodes’ Status Widget
Port Link Status Summary
The Port Link status summary widget allows you to view the current link status of all the ports available in the physical nodes currently managed by GigaVUE-FM. Optionally, the Port Link status can be displayed for a specified site. When a particular site is selected in the configuration window, the port link status of all the ports available in the nodes associated to the site are displayed in the Port Link Status Summary dashboard.
Refer to Figure 955: Status Summary: Port Links Widget for Status Summary: Port Links dashboard for all sites.
Figure 955: Status Summary: Port Links Widget
Refer to Figure 956: Status Summary: Port Links Widget For Santa Clara Site for Status Summary: Port Links dashboard for Santa Clara site.
Figure 956: Status Summary: Port Links Widget For Santa Clara Site
The Status Summary: Port Links widget lists the following:
| • | Ports type |
| • | Total number of ports in each type |
| • | Total number of ports in the up, down, or disabled state |
Click the numbers in the down or disabled column. A quick view provides detailed information with the cluster ID, device host name, port ID, and port alias of all the ports in the down or disabled state. If the port status is down, the quick view also provides information about the time since when the port has been in down state. For example, in Figure 957: Port Type Quick View, the stack port 1/1/q1 has been down since 10 days. The down time is displayed in minutes, hours, days, or months.
Figure 957: Port Type Quick View
Click the port ID link for a detailed view of the packet errors, packet drops, data rate transmitted or received, packet transmitted or received, and so on occurring on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis. You can also view the related maps, transceiver type, speed, and other detailed information about the port.
Note: Prior to software GigaVUE-OS version 4.7, GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregator nodes did not support tool ports. Starting in version 4.7, all gateway ports on GigaVUE TA Series nodes are tool ports. If GigaVUE-FM 3.5 or later is managing nodes running a software version earlier than 4.7, the Ports by Link Status widget may display the number of Gateway nodes.
Unhealthy Maps
The Unhealthy Maps status summary widget lists the maps that are in unhealthy state. The health of a map is determined by the health status of its associated components such as ports, port groups, port pairs, GigaStream, tool port, GigaSMART group, tunneled port, virtual port, inline network, inline tool, inline tool group, inline serial tool group, inline network group, and GigaSMART operations. If the status of any one of the component is down, the corresponding map is also considered unhealthy.
The Unhealthy Maps widget shows the cluster ID, map alias, and current status of the unhealthy map. The possible statuses are:
| • | Critical (red) |
| • | Warning (amber) |
| • | Unknown (gray) |
Click on the ID to go directly to the node. Click on the map alias to display the quick view for the map. Hovering the mouse over the status bubble for the map displays the port or ports related to the map that is in an unhealthy state.

Unhealthy Flows
The Unhealthy Flows status summary widget lists the flows that are in unhealthy state. The health of a flow is determined by the health status of the pass-all maps and the priority maps involved in the flow.
A priority map group consists of one or more maps configured with the same source ports. The health of a priority map group is determined by the aggregated health of the constituted maps. The health of the maps is determined by its associated components such as ports, port groups, port pairs, GigaStream, and so on. If any one of the maps in the priority map group is unhealthy, the corresponding priority map group is also considered unhealthy. But, the overall health status of a flow is determined by the aggregated health of the maps that are involved in the flow.
The Unhealthy Flows widget shows the names of the flows that are in unhealthy state and the names of the maps that are unhealthy in the flow. Refer to Figure 959: Top 10 Unhealthy Flows. Click the Flow Name to open the flow view page.
Figure 959: Top 10 Unhealthy Flows
For more information about Flows, refer to Flows.
Port Drops and Errors
The Port Drops and Errors status summary widget helps in identifying the ports with packet drops or packet errors in the network. When a particular site is selected in the configuration window, the status summary widget lists the port types associated to the site and the number of ports having packet drops, transmitting errors, or receiving errors in the site. You can view the number of ports with packet drops or packet errors occurring on a daily or an hourly basis. Refer to Figure 960: Port Drops and Errors.
Figure 960: Port Drops and Errors
Note: To view the unhealthy ports for GigaSMART, the GigaVUE-OS node must have Software version 5.0.
To view detailed information about the port drops and errors, click the number in the Pkt Drops, Rx Errors, or Tx Errors column. A quick view displays the cluster ID, host name, port ID, port alias, and the number of packet drops or errors for the list of unhealthy ports in the port type. Refer to Figure 961: Unhealthy Ports Quick View. If there are too many ports, click the Filter icon and filter the ports based on the cluster ID, host name, port ID, or port alias. To clear the filters, click Clear Filters in the filter dialog box.
Figure 961: Unhealthy Ports Quick View
In the Unhealthy Ports quick view, click the port ID for a detailed view of the type of packet errors or packet drops occurring on a daily or an hourly basis. Refer to Figure 962: Ports Quick View. You can also view the related maps, transceiver type, speed, and other detailed information about the port, which helps to investigate the reason for the packet drops or packet errors. To return to the Ports quick view, click Back.

Audit Logs
The Audit Logs widget shows the audit logs of successful and failed events. Optionally, the audit logs can be displayed for a specified site. When a particular site is selected in the configuration window, the audit logs pertaining to the clusters and nodes associated to the site are displayed in the Audit Logs dashboard.
The Audit Logs widget presents a graph that allows you to quickly view the number of logs in successful or failure state. In the graph, the state is indicated by color. The possible log results are:
| • | Success (green) |
| • | Failure (red) |
Hovering the mouse over an area in the graph displays the percentage of audit logs in that result. You can also specify the audit log statuses that have occurred over the past hour, day, week, or month. Figure 965: Audit Logs by Result shows the audit log results over each of the time periods.
