MicroFocus NNMi Administration I

Introduction to MicroFocus NNMi - Overview and Structure

SNMP and ICMP in MicroFocus NNMi - Configuring authentication for SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3 - Alternative authentication name - using an alternative SNMP interface or timeout - SNMP proxy - the SNMP command line interface (CLI)

Architecture and Operation in MicroFocus NNMi - Limits of Discovery - Grouping - Detecting Connectivity - Detecting Duplicate IP Addresses

Set up discovery in MicroFocus NNMi - Auto-discover (inventory) on/off - Schedule discovery - Manual discovery (individual, groups, all nodes) - Advanced discovery (individual nodes, from file, for region) - Limits (filter by region, type, node or interface level, before/after SNMP query) - Check node configuration - Check connectivity - Remove discovered objects (individually, by filter by region)

Management Console - Launch NNMi console - Workspaces - Navigate tables, maps, views and forms - Object details - Performance and overview dashboards - Sort and filter tables

Configuring nodes and interface groups - Applying nodes and interface groups in NNMi - Configuring a group of object type, region, specific task, default - Advanced filters on object functions

customize views in MicroFocus NNMi - create a map from a node group - add the map to the list of topology maps - set the default map - add a background to a map - control status - add connections

Status Monitoring - Differences between Fault Monitoring and Performance Monitoring - Component Health - State Poller Service and Causal Engine - Neighbor Analysis

Customize Status Monitoring - Polling on / off (specific node, region, type) - Polling interval of node or interface group - Set objects out-of-service - Set polling protocol - Polling settings for an object - Polling status from an object - Polling backlog and performance - Exclude objects from status polling (individual , region, type)

Setting up users - user accounts for NNMi users - group assignments - custom security groups - tenants - command line permissions - auditing accounts

Troubleshooting network problems - Incident lifecycle, assignments and ownership, and states - Sorting and filtering incidents - Assigning incidents - Deleting an incident - Closed incidents - Graphical visualization - Interpreting the cause of incidents - Starting and interpreting network visualization (different types) - Listing nodes, interfaces and addresses in the network - Object details - Filtering a view by node group or interface group - Tools for troubleshooting - Checking the status and configuration of a device - Viewing incidents for a device

Troubleshooting using MIBs - Using the Management Information Base (MIB) - Browsing and graphing when troubleshooting - Graphing over MIB data - Browsing MIB data

Customizing Event Monitoring - Adding and Deleting Event Definitions - Customizing Event Category / Severity / Message - Creating a New Category or Family - Adding a Vendor - Blocking Trap Storms

Thresholds and custom MIB monitoring - Configuring ISPI for thresholds and incidents - Custom threshold monitoring polling

iSPI Performance of Metrics Software Architecture - passing NNMi data to ISPI - ISPI data storage - basic troubleshooting steps - ensuring data is collected from NNMi - ensuring collected data is used ISPI - starting ISPI - ensuring performance polling is enabled

viewing performance data and reports - reporting on ISPI performance - differences between reports and live reports - customizing report settings - creating custom dashboards

Managing NNMi - customizing NNMi console settings - backing up NNMi data and configuration - checking NNMi health from the GUI - searching in log NNMi files - import/export tools
