DME Network Statistics
Use the DME Network Statistics menu to monitor your DME overall health, activity, and video usage statistics of each DME in your network.
To view DME network statistics:1. Navigate to Admin > Devices > DME Network Statistics.
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. If DME Stream Authorization is enabled, the Used For Streaming column will display either Authorized or Error depending upon if content is being sent to the DME. See: DME Stream Authorization Lockdown Management for details.
4. 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)
5. You are also presented four buttons that provide more information and the ability to edit DME settings. The buttons provide the following abilities:
○DME Administration: Links to the DME Admin interface so you may edit settings as needed in the DME. You must know your DME Admin login information. Note: DME v3.14 has implemented preventions that thwart Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) prevention. Customers that select the DME Administration button may see a 500 error. If this occurs, click the reload the browser page and gain direct access.
○Rev Configuration: Links to DME settings in Rev for editing. See: Add a Distributed Media Engine (DME) if you are not sure how to configure a DME for Rev.
○View Log: Server logs for this DME. You are able to view specific actions that occur with the Show Details button on the log.
○Reboot: Reboots the DME device.
6. 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
7. 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.
8. 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
9. Admins can view the percentage of usage of transrating for each DME (N/A is displayed if transrating is not licensed on the DME).
10. Admins can view the number of recordings occurring on each DME.
11. 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% |
