Supported Performance Metric OOTB Device Support

Use information to understand the supported metrics that is polled by the IP SLA enabled devices in your network. discovery agents

The Network Performance Insight Formula Service calculates metric values for the data that is collected by SNMP Collector. It uses formulas that are Supported Performance Metric OOTB Device Support
formulas
deployed against specific entity types.

Metrics that are derived from these formulas give insight on the impact of network traffic load on overall quality of latency sensitive network services.
For example, voice call and video streaming quality. Typically, IP SLA handles the following types of metrics:  Print this topic

httpTransactionFailed 100 * Percent The percentage of request that

(not(rttMonLatestHTTPOperSense=="")) has HTTP errors when
downloading the base page
within HTTP operations. If no
errors return 0, otherwise return
100.

httpTransactionSucceeded 100 * Percent The percentage of request that

((rttMonLatestHTTPOperSense=="")) had no HTTP errors when
downloading the base page
