CA Nimsoft Monitor

Cisco QoS Solutions that Yield Real Dividends

With CA Nimsoft Monitor for Cisco QoS, you can:

• Ensure critical applications are getting the bandwidth they need.
• Receive proactive notifications through email, pager, and SMS.
• Improve network availability and performance.

Metrics Monitored

The CA Nimsoft Cisco probe performs SNMP GET queries to Cisco SNMP devices supporting the CISCO-CLASS-BASED-QoS-MIB, transforming the query result into alarms and/or performance samples for performance trending or SLA tracking purposes.

The probe supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3.

The following counters are monitored on the devices:

• Pre Policy Bitrate
  The bit rate of the traffic prior to executing any QoS policies.
• Post Policy Bitrate
  The bit rate of the traffic after executing QoS policies.
• Drop Bitrate
  The bit rate of the drops per class as the result of all features that can produce drops (e.g., police, random detect, etc.).
• Post Policy Byte
  The 64 bits count of outbound octets after executing QoS policies.
• Dropped Bytes
  The 64 bits counter of dropped bytes per class as the result of all features that can produce drops (e.g., police, random detect, etc.).
• Dropped Packets
  The 64 bits counter of dropped packets per class as the result of all features that can produce drops (e.g., police, random detect, etc.).
