What's New in HUM 1.2

---

CiscoWorks Health and Utilization Monitor (HUM) 1.2 is the latest release of HUM and it is an add-on to the LAN Management Solutions (LMS) release. This release is an update to HUM 1.1.

For details about the new features in HUM 1.2, see New Features in HUM 1.2.

New Features in HUM 1.2

The following are the new features and enhancements in HUM 1.2:

TrendWatch Support

TrendWatch allows you to continuously monitor the capacity, performance, and utilization of critical resources over time, sampling the value at periodic intervals to view the trends. You can watch variable trends for an hour, days, weeks, months and years. You can configure it to send alert notifications through E-mail, Trap or Syslog and take appropriate actions.

TrendWatch does not monitor real-time data like Threshold. It is calculated on historical data.

The TrendWatch rule can be set for only one MIB variable at a time and you can set many TrendWatches for each MIB variable.

To configure and manage TrendWatches, see TrendWatch Management.

Power over Ethernet Monitoring

A set of new System defined templates are supported in HUM Template Management for Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled devices to monitor power consumption. You can generate quick reports for PoE port power utilization and Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) consumption. The newly added System defined templates are:

•PoE Port Utilization

•PoE PSE Consumption

For more information, see Managing Templates.

Trap and Syslog Support

HUM supports Trap and Syslog notifications, apart from the existing E-mail notification. You can configure Trap and Syslog receiver groups. You can configure HUM to send Traps and Syslogs to the respective receiver groups. For more information on Trap and Syslog receiver groups, see Trap Receiver Groups and Syslog Receiver Groups.

Interface Instance Selection Capability

HUM 1.2 periodically checks and stores the following status information of the devices and interfaces in the database:

•If the device status is up, all the templates are polled.

•If the device status is down, only the device and interface availability status are polled.

•If the interface status is up, the interface related templates are polled.

•If the interface status is down, the interface related templates are not polled

During every polling cycle, HUM checks the status information of the devices and interfaces in the database and then polls for the devices and interfaces.

For more information, see Selecting Instances.

Quick Reports Enhancements

Two new features are added in Quick Reports:

1. Overlay Graph: Overlay Graphs allows you to compare the historical trending of two MIB variables. The following Quick Report support Overlay Graph:

PoE Port Utilization Report

For more information, see Understanding Quick Reports.

2. Standard Deviation and 95th Percentile: The Quick Report graphs shows you the standard deviation and 95th percentile values.

The following Quick reports show Standard Deviation and 95th Percentile values:

–CPU Utilization Report

–Memory Utilization Report

–PoE PSE Consumption

For more information, see Understanding Quick Reports.

Non-Historical Thresholds Support

HUM 1.2 allows you to create pollers that does not store the polled data but maintains only the threshold data. The threshold data is available only if you have configured thresholds for the poller. For more information on creating such pollers, see Creating a Poller.

User Configurable Quick Reports Schedule

This feature allows you to enable or disable the generation of any pre-defined Quick Reports. It also lets you configure the frequency of generating each Quick Report. By default, all the pre-defined Quick Reports are enabled and are generated every hour. For more information, see Schedule Quick Reports.
