New platform: LAN Cisco NX-OS

BVQ° has expanded its platform support to include Cisco LAN. The initial release focuses on Cisco Nexus switches (NX-OS) and provides deep visibility into the Layer 2 topology of enterprise datacenter networks. BVQ° can help to:

• discover and visualize switches, Ethernet interfaces, port channels, VLANs and MAC addresses
• monitor performance metrics for switches, Ethernet interfaces and SFP lanes
• identify bottlenecks, redundancies and potential congestion in Layer 2 networks
• correlate network ports and MAC/VLAN data with connected systems like VMware and ONTAP

This release marks the foundation for cross-domain network analysis and monitoring within BVQ°. 

Reporting

Reporting tables now support conditional formatting. You can highlight critical values by defining a comparator, value and color. You can even add icons to improve clarity and accessibility – for example, to assist colleagues with visual impairments.

This enables you to draw attention to anomalies, errors and outliers and makes spotting patterns in tables faster and easier.  

Analysis BETA

The new Analysis BETA marks the first step toward powerful in-depth analysis directly in the BVQ° WebUI. BVQ° Experts may recognize key capabilities now available in-browser:

• build a selection path
• set up a line chart with performance, capacity and/or topology metrics and define thresholds for them
• configure a highly customizable table for the selected objects, using advanced features like multi-sort, filtering and more
• analyze your selected objects with access to over 10.000 attributes across all available platforms

More data visualizations and capabilities, e.g. a treemap, are on the roadmap for future releases. 

ITSM Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) Connector

Incorporate BVQ° into your holistic service monitoring. Enjoy streamlined KPIs, proactive problem resolution, greater transparency and improved service delivery.

Integrate BVQ°'s real-time monitoring and analytics with your Splunk ITSI service monitoring, to benefit from the following options:

• Integrate infrastructure objects: The most relevant ones are automatically created in Splunk ITSI, where they can easily be matched to the appropriate services.
• Send BVQ° Alerts into Splunk ITSI: Up to two generic KPIs are automatically transferred and calculated based on the underlying entities.
• Enrich Episodes: Add Alert descriptions, potential impact and suggested actions to your ITSI episodes to make problem resolution easier.
