About the Service Aware Page

The Service Aware page provides a bird's-eye view of the devices, services, and traffic flow in the data center network. The Service Aware feature enables you to monitor how the devices and the services are performing and helps you resolve issues before they impact end user experience.

To access this page, click Service Aware from the main menu.

The Service Aware page displays services grouped by throughput, volume of data utilized, or by connections. You can use the filter to change the view.
