All,
Either I'm over thinking this, or I'm getting old, or both. I've rolled out a redundant network topology for my remote sites (yeah! I can sleep at night now.) However, this has created a bit of a problem when trying to provide availability stats to my managers. Like most, I'm required to provide:
- WAN utilization - easy enough from the WAN router MPLS interface
- Internet utilization - easy enough from the Internet router outside interface
- WAN Availability - I thought this was easy by using IP SLA, but how do I get a percentage?
- Internet Availability - I thought this was just as easy by using IP SLA, but again, how do I get a percentage?
- Overall Site Availability - Wow, this IP SLA percentage thing is killing me...
What would be truly awesome is a (1) report per site that provides all the above data. I'd even be happy with a view and list of resources, then I could pull the data and put it in a spreadsheet. Does anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this? Should I use something other than IP SLA to collect the availability data?
Tools at my disposal - NPM, NCM, NTA, VNQM, IPAM, SAM
