NOC (Network Operations Centers) View


NOC View often acts as a monitoring interface or display setup used in network operations centers to oversee and manage IT networks and infrastructure. It enables users to configure and monitor essential dashboards at specified intervals. NOC view includes dashboards showing real-time data on network health, traffic, server status, alerts, performance metrics, and potential issues to quickly identify and respond to incidents. Applications Manager's NOC View feature offers an effective and uninterrupted monitoring tool to keep track of critical network performance metrics and dashboards for Network Operations Centers.

Note: NOC view is supported only from Applications Manager version 173300.

The NOC view appears. Here you can see details like NOC View name, Dashboard selection box, play/pause button, Dashboard name, Refresh Interval and Theme.

  • NOC View Name: Unique name of the NOC View.
  • Dashboard selection box: You can select the desired dashboards to be included in the NOC View. If we select any particular dashboard, then the selected dashboard will be loaded multiple times after the refresh interval is completed.
  • Play/ Pause button: You can change the mode as Play/ Pause. When in "Play" mode, the NOC View will continuously refresh the displayed data at regular intervals. When switched to "Pause" mode, the auto-refresh feature will be stopped. The view will remain static, showing the last refreshed data without updating.
