Cross-section of The Network's Performance
Event Correlation Virtually every component of a modern enterprise network provides data about what it's doing. The server operating systems log systems and security events, applications log errors, warnings and faults, firewalls and VPN gateways record suspicious events, and routers and switches report on traffic and protocol attributes. With all these devices reporting, who's actually looking at all these traps? To further compound the large quantities of traps and alarms, faults often cascade throughout a network such that a problem in one link or interface generates an alarm, but the problem creates alarms on related or attached elements which then leading to a blizzard of related event messages. The more complex the network and the more applications that are distributed, the more event messages, alarms and alerts the network, servers, devices and appliances will generate. Even the telecom infrastructure can feed into this ocean of information: one OC-12 connection (622 Mbps) can generate about 850 MBytes of event data every hour. Showing the relationship between currents in this ocean of data is exactly how Streamline Central's correlated zoom feature helps managed service provider engineers. Event correlation simplifies and speeds the separation of the cause and effect of network events by consolidating alerts and error logs into a short, easy-to-understand graphic. Key Features:
