Asset Status - Devices Monitoring

Navigate to IT Management > Asset Status > Devices

The Devices tab under Asset Status in the IT Management dashboard provides a comprehensive real-time view of all connected infrastructure devices. It helps to monitor system health, device connectivity, and bandwidth utilization effectively. Here's an overview of key data presented:

• System Name: Identifies the host or system (e.g., ACOSV05).

• IP & Public IP: Displays local and public IP addresses of the device.

• OS: Operating system running on the device (e.g., Meraki OS, Other).

• MAC Address: Unique identifier assigned to the network interface.
• Status: Indicates device health or connection status (e.g., up/down with arrow icons).
• Manufacturer: Device manufacturer such as Meraki, VMware, HP.
• VLAN & VLAN Name: Shows VLAN ID and its name (if known).
• Device Connection: Type of connection—typically wired.
• Device Type: Classification like "Virtualization Platform" or "Meraki Device".
• Device Serial: Unique serial number for hardware tracking.
• Bandwidth Usage: Real-time bandwidth consumption in MB.
• Connected To: Shows the upstream switch or device to which it's connected.
• Connected Port: Indicates the switch port number in use.

filter and find devices using these options:

• Online / Offline: Show only devices that are currently up or down.

• Organization: Filter devices by organization (or see all).

• Network: Choose a specific network or view all networks.

• Device Connection: Select to view only Wired or Wireless devices.

Customizable Sorting: Clicking on settings icon, Columns are sortable for quick prioritization (e.g., by status, bandwidth usage, IP).

When you click on the radio button next to a device in the Asset Status > Devices list, detailed insights about that specific device are displayed.

Traffic History:-

The Traffic History view provides a detailed overview of network activity for the selected device. It displays a traffic usage chart showing inbound and outbound data over time, helping to visualize bandwidth trends. Below the chart, the connected switch name is shown, along with any available router/switch traffic data. A detailed traffic usage table lists individual application-level connections, including destination addresses, protocols, ports, data sent/received, and the last update timestamp. This view helps in tracking device-level bandwidth usage and identifying active services or potential issues. 

Usage History:-

The Usage History section provides a overview of the device’s daily network activity over time. It includes a usage history chart that displays the amount of data sent and received  across different dates, helping identify usage peaks and trends. The Usage History Details table breaks down the exact data transferred per day, showing values for sent and received traffic along with the last update timestamp. 

Application History:-

The Application History provides insights into which applications are generating traffic on the selected device. It includes two pie charts-one for received traffic and one for sent-clearly showing the percentage of traffic each application type is responsible for (e.g., Google HTTPS, file sharing, non-web TCP). Alongside, the Application Usage Details table lists the applications with their respective data received and sent. The Application Traffic (Layer 7) table gives a detailed breakdown including destination addresses, protocol, port, traffic volume, and the last update timestamp. 

Bandwidth History:-

The Bandwidth History displays detailed bandwidth consumption over time for both the selected device and its connected switch. It includes two summary donut charts showing 1-day usage — one for the switch (e.g., ACO-HQ-SW-01) and one for the device (e.g., ACOSV05) — indicating total data sent and received. Below, the Current Bandwidth Usage Chart visualizes upstream, downstream, and total traffic patterns over the past day, helping identify peak usage times. Additionally, the Current Bandwidth Usage Details table logs timestamped records of total, upstream, and downstream data, allowing for fine-grained analysis of bandwidth trends.
