Alarms and Gadgets

Flow Analytics insights are reported within the Plixer Scrutinizer web interface either as Alarms and Events under the various Alarm Monitor views or through Gadgets added to Dashboards.

Alarms and Events

Alarms and Events reporting for Alarm-generating FA algorithms can be configured under the Plixer Scrutinizer Alarm Monitor using their respective Alarm Policies.

For additional information about the Alarm options and settings availablle for FA algorithms, see the on Alarm Monitor settings subsection of this documentation.

Gadgets

Certain Gadgets that can be added to Plixer Scrutinizer Dashboards are backed by Flow Analytics and rely on one or more FA algorithms for their reporting functions.

FA Gadgets function in the same way as other Dashboard Gadgets and require no further steps to use as long as their respective algorithms have been enabled and correctly configured.

Hint

The Flow Analytics Summary Gadget can be used to troubleshoot algorithm configurations. If there are algorithms that are taking longer than 5 minutes to run, check that the appropriate Exporters have been added.

For instructions on adding FA Gadgets to Dashboards, see the topic on Dashboards under the web interface section of this documentation.
