flow de-duplication within DI

Flow duplication is a big issue when reporting and the same flow records are sent from different flow exporters (routers that the traffic transits). It's not easy to define groups or select specific devices for reporting, particularly when there a...

SNMP Polling inside unique contexts should be fixed. Never worked despite having some functionality already built in. Very important to us to monitor BGP Peers in unique contexts.

Routing tables are segregated based on VRF. Sevone NMS only able to see BGP Peering in Default VRF/ Default CONTEXT. This means we are unable to see bgp peers drop to remote networks. This has vast consequences for us. This is no good! Please refe...

Limitation to load 10K records in the Service List

Major Telcos could have more than 10K Services. The SOA architecture limitation does not allow more than 10K services to be shown in a single page. The DI widgets provide search option only within the current page which is not a good user experience.

Data Insight Should Have Hot Standby Fail Over

Currently as Data Insight is today there is no where in the core product that allows for one Data Insight appliance to fail over to a secondary Data Insight appliance in case of failure. The rest of the SevOne portfolio has this feature as part of...

I want the SNMP Working Yes/No filter to be real-time - not based on the last successful discovery

When I set the SNMP Yes / Working No filter, I expect the result to be accurate - not based on the result of the last successful discovery. I should not have to manually check the results of the filter to see if they accurate.

Support Negative Filter Values For TopN Views

Some Indicators report values primarily in negative numbers; an example would be power expresssed in dBm. Currently, SevOne can only support positive values for TopN Filters, so creating a Filter like "Power dBm < -20 Decibel-milliwats" is not ...

Extension of the SDN Solution, allow extra metrics to be gathered

When the APIC systems have optical SFP modules, the metrics specifically for DOM are not available within the SDN solution today. To include these metrics, currently a custom universal collector was created to gather the DOM stats from these optic...

Synthetic Alerts

Alerts that are defined within SevOne are restricted to the trigger conditions within that policy. The idea here is to be able to define synthetic alerts based on the presence or count of another alert (or multiple). The main requirement is for al...

Need an efficient feature, or path (e.g. API endpoint) to export Raw Flow data from SevOne for consumption over Kafka. SDB does this, but only for metrics. Attempts to use SevOne-act (as a way to work around the SDB limitation) result in long export times, would not scale, and would not be supported by IBM.

For SevOne customers using a Data Lake architecture, who want to store/process Raw Flow data, for downstream security or other analysis/anomaly detection would find this highly valuable.

Data Insight Variables - Wildcard Search

DI Report consumers would save time and effort when navigating a complex dropdown list in a Variable. Today, we can do simple text match searches, but if there are many matches, we still end up scrolling a searching by eye. Providing a wildcard se...
