Switch/Router Alert Reports

Network Network Devices

Add Switch Related Data to Your Alert Report Widget

The alert report dashboard widget allows you to add reports to a widget to quickly identify issues or get information at a glance. The alert reports are designed to provide a single number in a specific use case like the number of devices down, or the number of ports inactive. Since the reports added to this widget are automatically updated every minute, it will always have up-to-date information so you can quickly act on potential issues. These alert reports are part of the switch dashboard use case and you can read more about this use case in the Pro Tips #4 blog post.

You can find the following alert reports below:

  • Switches/Routers Down
  • Switch Port Operational Status Down
  • Switch Port Admin Status DownAlert Reports Switch and Router
The first alert report indicated how many switches or routers are suspected to be down. This is calculated by checking which assets have not been scanned in the last 24h. Therefore scanning your switches/router once per day is required.

The following alert report shows the number of operational status down ports.
