What CISCO ACI management with StableNet® looks like

Tree Overview

With the tree overview the measurements of all ACI elements are nicely organized. It is easy to switch between different views, e.g., the organizational view from a tenant, or from the pods. With the tagging concept from StableNet® many different overviews can be created in an instant.

The tree gives a quick overview of the status of each type: the dashboards, the spine nodes, the leaf nodes, the pods. When a problem occurs, one can easily browse to the affected element in the tree.


Request Live Data

Not all the information that is available is suitable for measurements, but it is also not static.

With Live Templates this type of information can be retrieved easily. For example information about the aggregated interfaces of the controller, or about the equipment sensors can be easily pulled into StableNet®.

This data can easily be saved with a right-click and then copy or export.


Weathermaps

An overview of the setup is available in the weathermaps. Here your administrator can get a quick overview of the status of each of the objects.

Moreover, from the weathermap it is easy to jump to the measurements of a particular object when further inspection is needed.
