Step 2: Up and Running

View and Troubleshoot Data Center Events

After Apstra Edge is registered, Juniper Data Center Assurance starts receiving data center events and Apstra flow information from Apstra Edge. You can use the visualizations of the Apstra flow information to understand how the services and clients are utilizing the data center network.

Administrators can view the data center events and anomalies in real-time and resolve them proactively before they impact network traffic. You can view these events and anomalies in the Marvis Actions dashboard and on the App Aware and Impact Analysis pages. To troubleshoot events, you can access Apstra Data Center Director from DC Assurance.

For more information about viewing and troubleshooting data center events, see View Data Center Events in Marvis Actions, Access Apstra Data Center Director from Juniper Data Center Assurance, and Impact Analysis.
