Aviz Networks details ONES 3.1 enhancements for troubleshooting and protocol visibility

Aviz Networks' release of ONES 3.1 introduces several enhancements aimed at streamlining network monitoring and troubleshooting for enterprise IT teams. The update provides new default rules with integrated troubleshooting guidance, improved rule management features, expanded traffic analysis, updated optics inventory tools, and refined protocol visualization capabilities.

Default Rules with Embedded Troubleshooting

ONES 3.1 includes prebuilt rules developed from diverse deployment scenarios to facilitate immediate monitoring of critical components like CPUs and fans. Each rule comes with practical remediation steps detailing commands and physical checks, designed to help operators accelerate issue resolution by indicating specific corrective actions.

Improved Rule Transparency and Auditability

The upgrade allows users to preview alerting rules within the interface without navigating away, showing key settings such as thresholds and notification channels. Additionally, administrators can export the comprehensive list of rules and configurations as CSV files to support audits and compliance reviews.

Expanded Traffic Utilization Comparison

The traffic analysis feature now enables concurrent comparison of up to eight network interfaces’ transmit and receive utilization. This side-by-side visualization aids in identifying traffic imbalances and potential bottlenecks across multiple ports.

Enhanced Optics Inventory Management

The transceiver monitoring widget now offers summarized optics data broken down by type and vendor with an option to export detailed inventory information, including serial numbers and manufacturing dates. This feature assists network teams in planning upgrades and managing spare parts efficiently.

Refined Protocol Monitoring Capabilities

The updated topology view incorporates an MC-LAG filter that highlights devices configured with multichassis link aggregation, improving visibility into redundancy setups. The protocols page focuses on recording and displaying only state transitions for protocols such as Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), filtering the view by customizable time windows to present relevant events. A Virtual LAN (VLAN) summary provides a network-wide overview with drill-down access to detailed device-specific VLAN configurations and associated ports, reducing reliance on Command-Line Interface (CLI) queries.

ONES 3.1 provides enterprise network teams with practical improvements that enhance troubleshooting efficiency, rule management, traffic analysis, optics inventory visibility, and protocol state monitoring.
