Tech Tip: Flow status in NFA 9.3.1/9.3.2

  • 1.  Tech Tip: Flow status in NFA 9.3.1/9.3.2

    Posted Jul 27, 2015 10:32 AM

    In the NFA  Console under 'Physical and Virtual/Active Interfaces' for 9.3.1 the tool tip on 'Flow Status' is explaining the Poll Status“, which is incorrect.
    The hover over has created confusion for some of our customers because it displays the SNMP Polling status. 

     

    Our customers are expecting the details, rightly, of why the flow status is specifically red, green or yellow as against the poll status information which does not change the icon to a different colour. 

     

    We agreed that the flow status 'hover over' text should be consistent with the descriptions in CA wiki and in the help search facility.

     

    •Red: One or more enabled interfaces have not had flow for longer than the Interface Data Absence Limit.
    •Yellow: One or more enabled interfaces have not had flow between 30 minutes and the Interface Data Absence Limit.
    •Green: All enabled interfaces have had flow in the last 30 minutes.

     

    This is confirmed by CA engineering as targeted and now fixed in NFA 9.3.2 out of defect DE45725.

     

    So this fix will be in NFA 9.3.2 which is due for a full release in a couple of weeks, maybe sooner.
