Monitor Events
NetQ offers multiple ways to view your event status. The NetQ UI provides a graphical and tabular view and the NetQ CLI provides a tabular view of system and threshold-based (TCA) events. System events include events associated with network protocols and services operation, hardware and software status, and system services. TCA events include events associated with digital optics, ACL and forwarding resources, interface statistics, resource utilization, and sensors. You can view all events across the entire network or all events on a device. For each of these, you can filter your view of events based on event type, severity, and timeframe.
Refer to Configure System Event Notifications and Configure Threshold-Based Event Notifications for information about configuring and managing these events.
Monitor All System and TCA Events Networkwide
You can monitor all system and TCA events across the network with the NetQ UI and the NetQ CLI.
Click
(main menu).In the side navigation under Network, click Events.
The dashboard presents a timeline of events alongside the devices that are causing the most events. You can filter events by type, including interface, network services, system, and threshold crossing events. The filter controls are located at the top of the screen.
If you are receiving too many event notifications, you can acknowledge events or create rules to suppress events from the dashboard. Refer to Configure System Event Notifications for information about event suppression.
Events are also generated when streaming validation checks detect a failure. If an event is generated from a failed validation check, it will be marked resolved automatically the next time the check runs successfully.
To view all system and all TCA events, run:
netq show events [between <text-time> and <text-endtime>] [json]
This example shows all system and TCA events between now and an hour ago.
netq show events
cumulus@switch:~$ netq show events
