Energy Insights Availability in Greenfield and Brownfield Deployments

Use this topic to understand when energy insights become available on the Energy dashboards in Juniper Data Center Assurance.

The availability of energy insights on the Energy dashboards depends on whether the deployment is greenfield or brownfield. Initially, dashboards may display partial or progressively populated data. Metric cards, trend charts, reports, and recommendations are updated as telemetry data accumulate and are refreshed during subsequent refresh cycles.

Prerequisites

To view insights in Energy dashboards in Juniper Data Center Assurance, ensure the following:

• Energy feature must be enabled for your organization. To enable the feature for your organization, contact your designated Juniper Networks representative. After the feature is enabled, it may take up to 24 hours for energy data to appear on the dashboards.

• The Apstra Edge is onboarded to Juniper Data Center Assurance. You can verify the Edge status from the DC Edges page. See, Adopt Juniper Apstra Edge.

• Verify that devices and software versions meet the supported requirements for energy insights. See, Energy Insights: Supported Platforms and Software Versions.

• Sustainability settings, such as average power cost, carbon intensity, and port utilization thresholds are correctly configured.

  See, Configure Sustainability Settings for the Organization, Configure Port Threshold for the Organization.

In a greenfield deployment, energy insights data collection is initiated after Apstra Edge is onboarded. Data visibility on the Energy dashboards may take some time after telemetry collection starts. Aggregated values and historical trend charts appear gradually as sufficient data is collected. As a result, there may be a delay before meaningful data is visible on the Energy dashboards.

Note:

Delayed data visibility in greenfield deployments is normal and expected and does not indicate a configuration issue.

In a brownfield deployment, Apstra Edge is already onboarded or upgraded, and telemetry collection is in progress. The Energy dashboards populate much faster by aggregating existing data. Aggregated metrics and historical trend graphs may appear shortly in the dashboard.

For both greenfield and brownfield deployments, it can take up to a day for energy insights data to appear in the Energy dashboards.

Note:

If dashboards remain empty after this period, verify Edge connectivity.

Once telemetry data collection begins, Energy dashboards, reports, and recommendations are updated based on the standard data refresh cadence.

• Aggregated metrics, trend visualizations, forecasted data, and recommendations reflect data collected during the most recent refresh cycles.

• Any update to the sustainability settings, such as average power cost, carbon intensity, or port utilization thresholds affects future calculations and recommendations.

• Historical data is not recalculated when the sustainability settings are changed.
