Network and Application Monitoring with Marvis Minis

Juniper Mist™ uses data from Marvis Minis to analyze the end-user experience and provides the overlay of Marvis Minis runs in the wireless service-level expectation (SLE) dashboards. You can use the information to analyze connectivity failure trends and manage your network proactively by identifying issues before they escalate to a larger issue affecting the end-user experience.

View the Marvis Minis Timeline in the Successful Connect SLE

The Successful Connect SLE for wireless provides a timeline that shows the actual failed connection attempts for connected users to indicate the connection failure trend. If Marvis Minis is enabled for your organization, the timeline includes Marvis Minis-observed failures. You can analyze the information to correlate the Marvis Minis-reported failure and end-user-reported failures.

To view the Marvis Minis timeline:

  1. Select Monitor > Service Levels from the left menu, and then click the Wireless tab.
  2. Scroll down, click the Successful Connects metric, and then click the Timeline tab.
    Here's a sample timeline that shows the Marvis Minis-observed failures. The timeline highlights the validations run and the failures observed against connection attempts. In this example, notice that Marvis Minis made 24 DHCP requests and all the requests failed. The example also highlights the fact that Marvis Minis runs validations even when no users are connected to the network.
