About the Recommendation Details Page

Tasks You Can Perform

You can perform the following tasks from this tab:

• View the KPI recommendations details for the device you have selected on KPI Recommendations tab. You can view the device name, device model, tags (if any), last modified time, modified by, suggested KPIs, mode of approval for the recommendation, approval status, and deployment status.

• View the list of rules that represent the KPIs for the device.

• Approve or Reject a KPI recommendation.

  • To approve a KPI recommendation, select one or more rules to be approved from the Rules List under the Rule(s) Details accordion and click Approve. A message is displayed confirming that the recommendations are updated successfully.

  • To reject a KPI recommendation, select one or more rules to be approved from the Rules List under the Rule(s) Details accordion and click Reject. A message is displayed confirming that the recommendations are updated successfully.

• Filter the list of rules based on rule topic and approval status. To filter the list of rules:

  1. Select one or more rule topics from the Rule Topic drop-down list.

     The rule topics listed are Interfaces, Routing, Hardware, and Miscellaneous.

  2. Select one or more approval statuses from the Approval Status drop-down list.

     The approval statuses listed are Approved, Rejected, and Pending User Action.

  3. Click View to view the filtered list of rules.

  4. Click Clear if you want to clear the filtered list of rules.

• Expand or collapse the list of rules using the arrow keys present next to the Rules List check box.

• Sort the list of rules based on time and topic—To sort the list of rules based on the last modified time, click the Time option button next to the Sort By field. To sort the list of rules based on the rule topic, click the Topic option button next to the Sort By field.

• Edit threshold values—To edit the threshold values (also referred to as rule variable) for a specific rule, enter the threshold value in the respective Variables field, and click Approve to save the value.

  Note:

  • If the Variables field is empty, then the recommended threshold value provided by the Observability Recommendation Engine is considered. You can view this value in the Recommended tag under the respective Variables field. This is only applicable to system KPIs.

  • If you edit a threshold value, then the updated threshold value takes effect from the next data point that is received from the device.

• Edit interface rule variables—Observability Recommendation Engine analyzes the device configurations, identifies which interfaces are core facing interfaces, and automatically tags the interfaces with the role:core tag. By default, the Observability Recommendation Engine only monitors the interfaces that it detects as core facing interfaces. You can view the recommended core interfaces in the Recommended tag under the interface name variable.

  Note: Observability Recommendation Engine generates recommended variable values for interfaces from the list of list of interfaces that are tagged with the role:core tag. If you do not specify an interface value, Observability Recommendation Engine generates the list of interfaces that must be monitored, and tags them automatically.

  If you want to monitor additional interfaces:

  • Modify the value of the interface name variable.

  • Tag the interface that needs to be monitored with the tag role:core. For more information, see About the Interfaces Tab.

    Note: We do not recommend to modify the role:core tag.

• View metadata for a specific rule—To view metadata for a specific rule in the list of rules, click the View Metadata option next to the rule name.

• Close the Recommendation Details page—After performing the necessary changes, click Close to close the Recommendation Details page.
