I’ve installed this today for the first time and I have a few surprises on my network switches. The packet loss is high on just about everyone of them (it may be spanning tree problems), and it’s always on the trunk ports, but the point that worries me most is the apparent overload on my cores and server farm switch.
Has anyone validated the metrics on Avaya switches? How is the overload value determined? My calculations based on the switch specs show we are nowhere near maxed out, but I may be wrong.
At first glance, I don’t see a way to change specific thresholds, just a global slider. Is it possible?
The server stats look to be exactly what I expected. Great new product guys.

Hey Steve, thanks for the feedback. I haven’t seen many people w/ Avaya switches during the beta process; I’ll send you a PM to get your logs and we can try to validate the numbers your seeing. You’re correct, there’s not currently a way to edit device-specific thresholds; that’s on our shortlist of feature requests.

Thanks Ezra. I think something is slightly off and this screenshot makes it very clear - more dropped packets that total packets!!

Yikes…
I PM’d for your logs. It’s probably a bug on our side, but it’s worth making sure your firmware is up to date. We’ve encountered a couple of Cisco bugs misreporting packet counters already.
