Aviz Networks ONES 3.1 details rule preview, exports, traffic and protocol views

Aviz Networks released ONES 3.1, adding default alerting rules with embedded troubleshooting steps, rule preview and CSV export, multi-interface traffic comparisons, optics analytics, and clearer protocol monitoring views.

Research Overview

The update focuses on ONES Rule Engine and monitoring workflows, with changes that affect alerting rules management and protocol visibility. It also adds analytics features for traffic utilization and optics inventory details.

Administrators get new ways to review rule configurations and export a rules inventory for audits. The protocol pages add filters and improved event and topology views for specific networking features.

Key Findings

ONES 3.1 includes preconfigured Default Rules derived from real deployments across regions and customer environments, each with industry-standard thresholds and an embedded playbook. Alerts generated by these rules include guided steps that list SONiC/FRR/Linux commands plus physical checks.

The release adds inline preview for alerting rules, showing thresholds, notifications such as Slack and ticketing, and key settings. It also adds CSV export for a complete rules inventory, including rule names, thresholds, channels, and more.

Technical Breakdown

For traffic analysis, ONES 3.1 supports comparing up to eight interfaces by Tx or Rx utilization, using a side-by-side interface utilization view to identify imbalances and bottlenecks. The optics analytics feature summarizes optics inventory by transceiver type and vendor.

Optics analytics includes an export option for granular optics details such as serial numbers and manufacturer dates. The protocol monitoring updates include an MC-LAG filter on the topology view and a Protocols page view that lists only state transitions for elements including LACP, MC-LAG, and VXLAN.

Operational Impact

The Default Rules provide one-click enablement for monitoring components such as monitoring, CPU, fans, and more, using sensible defaults. The embedded playbook and alert payload steps aim to change alert handling from identifying issues to executing guided remediation steps.

Protocol visibility is organized to reduce steady-state noise by presenting state transitions and allowing time window filtering of 1h–2w. A VLAN page path is added under Monitor → Protocols → VLAN, with a network-wide VLAN summary plus device drill-down showing VLANs, associated ports, and SVI details.
