Issue/Introduction

The Performance Management Portal just shows the Top Interface Discards, Top Interface Errors and Top Interface Utilization.

How can we get a dashboard for all interfaces.

Environment

DX NetOps Performance Management: Any version

Resolution

Here are the steps to create a new tab to see Interface Discards for all interfaces.

1. First Edit the "Top Interface Discards" tab to get the existing configuration.

2. Click on the Edit button.

3. Here is the existing settings for the "Top Interface Discards" tab.

4. Click on "Cancel" twice to exit from Edit.

5. Click on the cog wheel of any tab to add a new tab (Interface Discards for all interfaces).

6. In the Default Tab Templates, select "Top Interface Discards".

7. Supply the Tab Title, select the Context Types and click on Save button.

8. The Interface Discards tab is created. Click on the cog wheel and select Edit Tab.

9. Click on the Edit button.

10. Change the Maximum Number of Charts from 60 to 200 (for instance) and click on the Save button. And click on the Save button again.

11. Now in the Interface Discards tab you should see all interfaces.

Total: 11 (pages) x 15 (chart per page) + 4 (chart from last page) = 169 interfaces

Which matches with the total number of interfaces displayed in the Polled Metric Families.

12. You can do the same thing for the Top Interface Error tab.
