Severity Filter

The severity filter tallies the total number of incidents on the network node, and lists the number of incidents by severity.

Incident Timeline

The Incident Timeline is a graphical representation of the number of new clients connecting to the network (the light gray line), the number of clients actively connected to the network (the dark gray line) and the number of clients affected by the network incidents (the blue area in the chart).

Pausing the pointer at any instance on the timeline displays an information box that shows the number of new clients, impacted clients, and connected clients. You can modify the information displayed in the information box by selecting the New Clients, Impacted Clients, and Connected Clients check boxes.

Note: On computers running Windows, press Ctrl and rotate the wheel button to zoom in and zoom out of the Incident Timeline.

Incidents List Table

The Incidents List table offers a summary of each incident.

Table 2. Attributes of the Incidents List Table
Attribute	Description
Severity	The severity of an incident ranges from P1 to P4; P1 being the highest priority and P4 the lowest. The severity of an incident is determined by the client impact, duration, and other factors. You can see the severity score when you hover the mouse over the number. The severity score of the incident takes into account the scope of the incident, duration of the incident, and the severity of the incident; giving equal consideration to all the mentioned parameters to arrive at the severity score.
Date	The date and time when the incident started.
Duration	The measure of how long the incident lasted.
Description	A short description of the incident. Pausing the pointer over the description displays more information about the incident.
Category	The type of incident, for example: Connection, Performance, and Infrastructure.
Sub-Category	Connection incidents consist of the following categories: Association User Authentication DHCP EAP RADIUS Time to Connect Performance incidents consist of the following categories: RSSI Memory Coverage Infrastructure incidents consist of the following categories: VLAN Mismatch Service Availability Network
Client Impact	The percentage of clients impacted by the incident.
Impacted Clients	The number of clients impacted by the incident.
Type	The type of incident that occurred. You can view this by selecting the options from the drop-down menu. Options include SZ Cluster, Domain, Zone, AP Group and Access Point.
Scope	The area of the network in which the incident was detected. Pausing the pointer over the scope displays the entire path of the network node.
Details	Clicking the Details icon displays the Incident details page to find more details about the incident such as impacted areas, root cause, and recommendations.

Incident Details Page

The header of the Incident details page displays the severity level of a selected incident and the description of the incident.

You can also fix the thresholds for health parameters using the Set Threshold option to validate the health of your network. Clicking Set Threshold takes you to the Health page where you can set the threshold for a parameter. For instance, if you set the threshold for the Time to Connect (TTC) parameter as 2 seconds, the TTC graph displays the number of connections that are able to connect to the network within 2 seconds. It also displays the average time to connect to the network in general, and the total connections attempting to connect to the network. Every time a new threshold is set, the graph trends simultaneously change as the computing changes. Similarly, thresholds can be set for various parameters to evaluate network health such as ROSSI, AP Capacity, AP Service Uptime, AP-to-SZ Service Latency, and Cluster Latency. The threshold will apply to the incident related to the metric.

The Tell us about this incident! option allows users to provide feedback about how useful the incident information is based on their production environment. In general, an incident is assigned a severity based on various factors but as a user you can also provide feedback as to what severity best fits the incident.

You can mute or unmute an incident via the setting icon in the Incident table or from the Incident page. When an incident is muted, it is hidden in the user interface and notifications via email and webhook are also muted.

Network Impact Tile

The Network Impact tile consists of various donut charts that represent the areas of the network that were impacted by the incident. Each incident type and subtype has a different set of network impact donut charts, but it is common to see WLANs, Client OS Types, AP Models, Radio Bands, and Reason Codes, which all help to explain some of the common questions: who is impacted, which devices are contributing, what are the reason codes, and more. Every donut chart is divided into donut charts of different colors. If you pause the pointer over any portion of the donut chart, an information box displays the impacted area of the incident and the clients affected by this the incident. Beneath each donut chart is a summary line Two donut charts are shown by default. You can click the right arrow and left arrow to navigate to other donut charts, or click Radio, WLAN, Client Manufacturers, or Reason to access a specific donut chart.
