NetQ UI Card Reference

This reference describes the cards available in the NetQ graphical user interface (NetQ UI). You can open cards using one of two methods:

  • Search for the card by name in the Global Search field in the application header
  • Click . Select a card category or scroll down. Click the desired card. Click Open Cards.

Cards opened on the default NetQ Workbench are not saved. Create a new workbench and open cards there to save and view the cards at a later time.

Events Card

The Events card appears on the default NetQ Workbench. You can also add it to user-created workbenches. Use this card to monitor events across your network. You can determine the number of events for the various systems, interfaces, devices, and network protocols and services components in the network.

Network Health Card

As with any network, one of the challenges is keeping track of all of the moving parts. With the NetQ GUI, you can view the overall health of your network at a glance and then delve deeper for periodic checks or as conditions arise that require attention. For a general understanding of how well your network is operating, the Network Health card workflow is the best place to start as it contains the highest view and performance roll-ups.

The Network Health card is located on the default NetQ Workbench. It can also be added to user-created workbenches.

The small Network Health card displays:

ItemDescription

  • Pointing downward and bright pink: Health score in the most recent window is lower than in the last two data collection windows, a decreasing trend
  • No arrow: Health score is unchanged over the last two data collection windows, trend is steady

The data collection window varies based on the time period of the card. For a 24 hour time period (default), the window is one hour. This gives you current, hourly, updates about your network health.

Health score

Average of health scores for system health, network services health, and interface health during the last data collection window. The health score for each category is calculated as the percentage of items which passed validations versus the number of items checked.

The collection window varies based on the time period of the card. For a 24 hour time period (default), the window is one hour. This gives you current, hourly, updates about your network health.

Validation Cards

There are three cards used to perform on-demand and scheduled validations—one for the creation of on-demand and scheduled validations and two for the results. Validation cards can be added to user-created workbenches.

Validation Request Card

This card is used to create a new on-demand or scheduled validation request or run a scheduled validation on demand.

The small Validation Request card displays:

ItemDescription
Indicates a validation request.
Validation

Select a scheduled request to run that request on-demand. A default validation is provided for each supported network protocol and service, which runs a network-wide validation check. These validations run every 60 minutes, but you can run them on-demand at any time.

Note: No new requests can be configured from this size card.

GOStart the validation request. The corresponding On-demand Validation Result cards are opened on your workbench, one per protocol and service.

The medium Validation Request card displays:

ItemDescription
Indicates a validation request.
TitleValidation Request.
Validation

Select a scheduled request to run that request on-demand. A default validation is provided for each supported network protocol and service, which runs a network-wide validation check. These validations run every 60 minutes, but you can run them on-demand at any time.

Note: No new requests can be configured from this size card.

ProtocolsThe protocols included in a selected validation request are listed here.

The large Validation Request card displays:

TitleValidation Request.
ValidationDepending on user intent, this field is used to:
  • Select a scheduled request to run that request on-demand. A default validation is provided for each supported network protocol and service, which runs a network-wide validation check. These validations run every 60 minutes, but you can run them on-demand at any time.
  • Leave as is to create a new scheduled validation request.
  • Select a scheduled request to modify.
ProtocolsFor a selected scheduled validation, the protocols included in a validation request are listed here. For new on-demand or scheduled validations, click these to include them in the validation.
ScheduleFor a selected scheduled validation, the schedule and the time of the last run are displayed. For new scheduled validations, select the frequency and starting date and time.
  • Run Every: Select how often to run the request. Choose from 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, or 12 hours, or 1 day.
  • Starting: Select the date and time to start the first request in the series.
  • Last Run: Timestamp of when the selected validation was started.
Scheduled ValidationsCount of scheduled validations that are currently scheduled compared to the maximum of 15 allowed.
Run NowStart the validation request.
UpdateWhen changes are made to a selected validation request, Update becomes available so that you can save your changes.

Be aware, that if you update a previously saved validation request, the historical data collected will no longer match the data results of future runs of the request. If your intention is to leave this request unchanged and create a new request, click Save As New instead.

Save As NewWhen changes are made to a previously saved validation request, Save As New becomes available so that you can save the modified request as a new request.
