CBQOS Issues/features and core functionality improvement request.

Is there anything I can do to induce you all to fix some major challenges I am having with the CBQOS portion of the product?

Major gripes:

It's in NTA instead of NPM
There is no direct linkage in viewing interfaces that have CBQOS in NTA with the views of the very same Node/Interface in the NPM portion of the product
Graphs default as Ingress yet all best practices for Enterprise infrastructure is always that CBQOS is applied at Egress and most companies apply ZERO policy at ingress...as it's now too late.
Managing the activation/deactivation of these devices is unbelievably cumbersome
There is no portion that actually discovers if there is CBQOS possible on the device and that aspect which does exist is quite miserable too.
Search doesn't work in the manging netflow/qos
The search portion elsewhere doesn't work
There is no ability to add CBQOS resources to any of the other parts of NPM
The reporting is too convoluted to even use SQL Reporting Services to report independently
The Report writer has no usable CBQOS reports.
There is no Top N QOS Discards reports.

This list is by no means complete..it's a CBQOS 101 request list as well as some buggy things. If you cannot do that then at least document the Data Model for SQL so I can do the reporting myself...as it is...it's simply quite difficult to do.

Hi Andrew--

I've marked this for the PM to review.

Andrew,

This is all fair and useful feedback. We are working on several enhancements to CBQoS in NTA for the next release (see my post about the Beta here). We won't be able to get to all of these right away, but I've logged these requests and we will certainly look into them in more depth.

We have no intention of including CBQoS in NPM, but the resources that report this information will be more flexible about where they can be placed.

Thanks,

Mav

Please take care of this one - it can't be that difficult to either change the default (or give us the control to set the default)....
