Troubleshoot problems quickly with the combined power of Log Analyzer and Network Performance Monitor.
Let's take a look at a real-world scenario, involving a Cisco device interface that is in a down status and affecting users. By leveraging the integration of device performance and status information within Network Performance Monitor and the log data within Log Analyzer, you can quickly identify the root cause.
From the Node Details page, quickly drill into the log data for this node by clicking 'Analyze Logs.' Here, you see a login to the device followed by a config change. Log Analyzer lets you assign tags to events so you can quickly focus on important log information. You can also determine how many of these events occurred via the Log Analyzer chart. It looks like an admin has logged on to the device and may have mistakenly made a change that is causing an issue. By further analyzing the device log data, you might determine that an interface was incorrectly shut down, which corresponds to what NPM is showing.
This is just one example of the many ways the performance data in Network Performance Monitor and the log data in Log Analyzer can be used together to perform root-cause analysis and help remediate issues quickly.
