View DME Network Statistics
You have the ability to view the overall health and video usage statistics of each DME in your network.
To view DME network statistics:
1. Navigate to > >.
2. Immediately displayed is health information for each DME including percentages used for CPU, memory (including swap space), disk space, and throughput. The bar colors associated with health information are described in the table below.
3. Clicking the DME name displays a dropdown of more information about that specific appliance including IP address, MAC address, and version (some data will not be available for older DMEs prior to v3.6)
4. Admins can also view the following point in time server stream usage information for each DME:
a. Percentage of total available streams used by incoming versus outgoing streams
5. Admins can view the following point in time Multi-Protocol Server (MPS) server stream usage information for each DME:
a. Percentage of total available streams used by incoming versus outgoing streams.
6. Admins can view a breakdown of stream information for each streaming server:
a. Number of incoming streams
b. Number of outgoing unicast streams
c. Number of outgoing multicast streams
7. Admins can view the percentage of usage of transrating for each DME (N/A is displayed if transrating is not licensed on the DME).
8. Admins can view the number of recordings occurring on each DME.
9. DME versions prior to v3.6 will not display throughput or MPS server stream usage. If data cannot be retrieved from a DME because it is an older version, an indicator will be displayed.
The table below illustrates the threshold values that are used for the health data that is reported for the DME. Data change is indicated by color and corresponds to the following values: Normal (no color change), Caution (yellow), Alert (red).
Health Data Reported | Normal | Caution | Alert |
Throughput (reported in Mbps and percentage against license) | < 60% | 60 - 90% | > 90% |
CPU Usage (reported in percentage across cores) | < 70% | 70 - 80% | > 80% |
Memory Usage (reported as aggregate total and percentage) | < 50% | 50 - 85% | > 85% |
Disk Space (reported as total and percentage) | < 75% | 75 - 85% | > 85% or < 32GB whichever is smaller |
Current Pulls | 1 - N | | |
Current Pushes | 1 - N | | |
Current VOD Retrievals (reported as number, with total allowance, and percentage of total) | < 70% | 70 - 85% | > 85% |
Current Live Retrievals (reported as number, with total allowance, and percentage as total) | < 70% | 70 - 80% | > 80% |
Overall DME Health (calculated status = max status; CPU, memory, total of all streams) | | | |
DME Mesh Status (count of reachable peers, total peers, percentage reachable) status based on percentage reachable | > 50% | 20 - 50% | < 20% |
