Viewing performance metrics for a service in Network Visibility

Using Network Visibility (within Control Center), you can view performance metrics for Lumen network services. You can also use Network Visibility to view utilization metrics for services.

To view performance metrics for a service in Network Visibility:

  1. Click Monitoring, then click Network Visibility.

    Control Center opens the Network Visibility dashboard. On the map, Control Center shows locations with services needing your attention. Tiles show services with high utilization or critical issues, services that are down or have threshold warnings, as well as open tickets and scheduled maintenance for your services. Use the Map View, List View, Backbone Performance, and Summary Reports tabs above the tiles to toggle between views.

  1. Click the Performance tile, then search for the service you want to view performance metrics for:

    • To view metrics for a service from Map View, click the Show All Services checkbox, select the location for the service, then click the service in the left column.

    • To view metrics for a service from List View, use the Locations tab to search by location and then select a service from the left column or use the Services tab to search by service and select a service from the list.
