ACP Performance Monitoring

Question 1

What performance metrics does Auvik monitor on network devices?

Accepted Answer

CPU utilization, memory usage, interface bandwidth, error rates, latency, and device availability

Answer

Auvik monitors comprehensive performance metrics including CPU, memory, interface statistics, error rates, latency, and availability across network devices.

Question 2

How does Auvik visualize performance trends over time?

Accepted Answer

Through time-series graphs showing historical performance data with customizable time ranges

Answer

Auvik displays performance data as time-series graphs with adjustable time ranges, enabling trend analysis and capacity planning.

Question 3

What is the significance of interface error monitoring in Auvik?

Accepted Answer

Rising error rates on interfaces can indicate failing hardware, cable problems, or duplex mismatches

Answer

Interface errors such as CRC errors, collisions, or input/output errors often indicate physical layer problems like bad cables, failing ports, or duplex mismatches.

Question 4

How should bandwidth utilization data be used for capacity planning?

Accepted Answer

Analyze utilization trends to predict when upgrades will be needed and justify network investments

Answer

Historical bandwidth utilization trends enable accurate capacity planning by showing growth patterns and predicting when current capacity will be insufficient.

Question 5

What does high CPU utilization on a network device indicate?

Accepted Answer

Potential overload from excessive traffic, routing processes, security inspection, or misconfiguration

Answer

Sustained high CPU utilization may indicate the device is handling more traffic or processing than designed for, potentially causing performance degradation.
