- [Instructor] We've covered a lot
of what Cisco DNA Center Assurance can do.
So we want to wrap up this discussion
with mentioning all of the statistical monitoring options
that DNA Center can offer.
If we go back to the main assurance page as we've done here,
let's choose the Manage tab.
And from that dropdown,
you can see that we have the option
to choose Issue Settings.
This is going to provide a list of all statistics
that DNA Center can monitor on the network.
From here, you can customize this for your own needs
by enabling or disabling specific issues
from being reported.
For example, right up top, we see an issue named,
"Drop in radio throughput for Cloud Applications."
We also see that this is currently not enabled
in this sandbox environments as we can see
in this first column.
Now, if we click to expand this issue,
we can see more details about that.
Now, being a sandbox environment
we are not able to enable or disable these
as you would be able to do with an actual deployment.
Cisco has actually locked out that feature in this sandbox.
But to enable a specific statistical monitoring item
you would just simply click the Enable toggle to do that.
You'll also notice that this has a Priority setting.
This particular item is a P three.
This is also something that you can customize
and change the value for based on how important
a certain statistical metric is to your own network.
Again, this is locked out of the sandbox.
But to change this on a production deployment
you would simply click the Priority drop-down
that would be visible and select a priority.
Again, this one is listed as a P three or a priority three.
The priority settings in the DNA Center
range from P one to P four,
with P one being an emergency issue
that needs immediate attention.
And P four being a normal warning that might not
be an immediate issue,
but maybe something that could potentially
optimize network performance.
The P three setting in this example means that this is
a minor issue with localized or minimal impact.
Again, you can use Cisco's suggested priorities
for the stats or you can customize those yourself
based on how critical it is to your specific needs.
If we go back to this main window,
you'll also see that we have category filters
available here along the top.
We have the Onboarding category
to show issues related to clients joining the network,
both wired and wireless.
We have the Connectivity category,
which you can see relates to routing protocols.
We see "BGP, EIGRP, and OSPF" statistics here in this list.
We have the Connected category,
which is related to clients connected to the network.
We have the Device category,
which is going to present device-specific metrics
such as high CPU usage.
Maybe power failure, high TCAM utilization, and so on.
We have the Availability category,
which is related to statistics about both wired
and wireless availability problems.
We see an access point flap issue, an unreachable switch,
and many other stats that can be measured.
We have the Utilization category,
which will measure the utilization
of things such as the CPU, access point licenses,
high wireless radio utilization, and more.
We have the Application category,
which will monitor how well our applications are doing.
And we can see those are split
out into cloud, media, and social applications.
We have the Sensor Test category,
which contains information about lots of
different sensors statistical metrics,
such as slow FTP transfer, IP SLA failures,
DNS resolution, and DHCP issues.
And we have the AP Anomaly category,
which captures statistics for onboarding wireless clients.
Now, all of these categories have many, many options
for statistical monitoring on your network
as you can see from all of the lists that we have here.
Again, this is highly customizable.
So if you're using Cisco DNA Center in your own network,
definitely do some research and determine what's important
for your own monitoring needs.
