opCharts enables you to build dynamic interactive charts and targeted custom dashboards for single-pane-of-glass views into your NMIS data. It increases your network visibility and accelerates root cause discovery by combining multiple data sets on its adaptable graphical interface.
You can create one such dashboard to monitor Enterprise Services too, which allows you to view Interface and Node status panels on a single page. You can also group any related Interfaces/Nodes together to view them all at one location. Further, the MSP authorization system supports the Enterprise Services when added as a dashboard component.
Monitored Services | Nodes | Interfaces |
---|---|---|
Services Fatal | Nodes Unreachable | Interfaces Down |
Services Degraded | Nodes Degraded | Interfaces Up |
Services Up | Node Up | |
Status | Status | Status |
Enterprise Service rules calculate how each group of entities control the status of the Enterprise Service.
The rules set out levels on how each component should be degraded, based on the status level. It is set as an array of Level Type and Level.
For example, Normal - 100, Degraded – 90 would mean, a status of 99 would be Reachable but a status of 89 would be Degraded.
You can use this to tune the alerts. For example, you can configure a proactive enterprise alert for any service if any Level Type is not Normal.
To enable Enterprise Services –
Add the following code to opcommon.json
"beta":{ "opcharts_enterprise_services": "true" }, |
Execute the following commands
sudo /usr/local/omk/bin/patch_config.exe /usr/local/omk/conf/opCommon.json /beta/opcharts_enterprise_services=true |
Restart the omkd
daemon
sudo service omkd restart |
After creating a new Enterprise Service on the opCharts, you can add Interfaces, Nodes and Monitored Services status panels/tables to it.
To add a new interface, press the "+" icon in the Interfaces section as shown in the screen shot above. Enter or select the node name, select the interface index/name and press "Add".
Adding a Node is similar, press the "+" icon in the Nodes section. Enter the node name and press the "Add" button, a node panel for the selected node should now be displayed.
To remove either, press the "x" icon near the top right of the panel and it will be removed from the document. Save the document to accept your changes.
We changed how an Enterprise Service is referenced in the database with opCharts-4.5.0 and this causes issues with RBAC (portal users) for Enterprise Services created before 4.5.0.
Easy method, delete the Enterprise Service and recreate with the same name, the nodes, interfaces andservices will still be attached to the Enterprise Service.
You will need to add the roles you had before.
