Nexus Dashboard Insights
Company: Cisco
NOTICE: Beginning with Nexus Dashboard 3.1, a single software image (.ova or .iso) provides all the services needed (such as Orchestrator, Insights, Fabric Controller and integrations). Independent application installation for services and integrations is no longer needed nor supported. Cisco recommends to upgrade to the latest Nexus Dashboard versions.

With the unprecedented increases in scale and complexity of networks, it is challenging to keep up with the demands of operating a large network without the aid of intelligent and adaptive tools. The Cisco Nexus® Dashboard Insights for the data center stands out as the first comprehensive technology solution in the industry developed by Cisco for network operators to manage operations in their networks.
For operators to manage, maintain and troubleshoot their networks effectively, it is important to have a deep understanding of a network’s constituents and their properties, what the network is doing, how it is being used, how it is responding to the demands on it, and, most importantly, how it will respond to new loads arising due to new business processes. As and when changes occur in the control plane, data plane, and forwarding plane of a network, it is important to detect, locate and root cause anomalies as close to real time as possible. Proactive notification of known vulnerabilities that may produce suboptimal behavior of the products is very critical. Timely detection and reduction of human errors can help minimize the operational and financial impact associated with network downtime.
The Operational Intelligence Engine of Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights incorporates a set of advanced alerting, baselining, correlation, and forecasting algorithms to provide deep insights into the behavior of the network by utilizing telemetry data obtained from networking and compute components. Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights automates troubleshooting and helps rapid root-causing and early remediation. Unified network repository and compliance rules keep the network state aligned with operator intent. It simplifies audits and ensures compliance while also helping infrastructure owners comply with SLA requirements for their users.
The Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights for the data center is supported on Cisco ACI® and Cisco NX-OS/DCNM–based deployments.
