Inventory base measures
You can use inventory base measures to:
• create lists of network objects for future processing
• track network-specific growth to provide a delta for any performance measures,
for example, how long it takes 5 versus 15 client GUIs to list 1000 ports
Use the following sequence to create inventory base measures, for example, for
access ports. You can modify the sequence to create additional inventory base
measures for other objects.
1 Determine the type of object data for which you need to create inventory records,
for example, access ports.
2 List the ports of all managed network devices using the client GUI manage
equipment window or create an XML OSS request to generate the list.
3 Format the inventory for future processing, based on your inventory processing
applications.
4 Generate the inventory data, using the same listing and filtering criteria, on a
weekly or monthly basis, as necessary to track changes to the network.
When new devices are added to the network on a regular basis, increase the
inventory frequency.
5 Use the generated list to record the current inventory of network objects and as
a baseline measure of performance.
For example, baseline the time required to generate a client GUI list of 1000
access ports.
When an access port list is later generated, record the time required to generate
the list using 2000 ports. Ideally, it takes twice as long to list twice as many ports;
if the ratio of listing time to number of ports is highly nonlinear, there may be
scalability issues that require investigation.
