Configure UCT through GigaVUE-FM

This section describes how to configure UCT through GigaVUE-FM GUI. Refer to the following section for details.

You can view the monitoring domain created in the list view. The list view shows the following information for UCT and controllers:

■   Monitoring Domain
■   URL
■   Connection
■   Cluster Name
■   Cluster Version
■   Controller / TAP
■   UCT UUID
■   Management IP
■   Version
■   Node Name
■   Node Kernel Version
■   Status
■   Discovered Sources

Note:  Click the to select the columns that should appear in the list view.

Use the following buttons to manage your Monitoring Domain:

Button Description

Traffic Policy Statistics

Traffic Policy Statistics in the GigaVUE-FM provides the visibility of the policies within a Monitoring Domain and displays the information of the policies and its rules statistics in the dashboard. It also allows visualization and performance at every container level of the Policy Deployment.

Rules are configured in the UCT to either forward the traffic to a Tunnel or drop the flow of the traffic. In the Policies page, along with the UCT policy and its rules, you can also view the aggregated statistics of all the source selectors which are part of the policy.

The activities of the rules are reflected by the statistics counters. The statistics counters show how the policy statistics are directly co-related to the policy and its rules being configured through the GigaVUE-FM.

Viewing Policy Statistics

To view the statistics of the traffic policy configured in the GigaVUE-FM, do the following steps:

1.   Go to Traffic> Container > Universal Container Tap. The Policies page appears. In the policy page, you can view various details related to a policy such as Name, Monitoring Domain, Connection, Status, etc., For each policy, the value correspond to the aggregate value of UCT taps associated with that policy. The fields and the description of the field names are given in the following table:
