On this page, you can filter your devices based on Category, Type, Subnet, On-Premise Poller, and Vendor (Figure 1, marked as 2). You can also filter based on associated tags and monitor groups by clicking the filter  icon, located to the left of the Last Polled selector in the top-right corner (Figure 1, marked as 3). 
View the number of monitored interfaces as well as any remaining alert credits according to your license in the Network Interface License section (Figure 1, marked as 4). You can also pull up the NOC view from this page (Figure 1, marked as 5).

Click the hamburger icon next to a network device (Figure 1, marked as 6) to perform the following functions:

• Edit: Edit the device configurations. 
• Poll now: Run a poll to collect the latest values.
• Schedule maintenance: Schedule periodic maintenance for a specific period.
• Rediscover interfaces: Rediscover the interfaces of the device.
• Ping: Check the ping response of the device from the associated On-Premise Poller.
• View traceroute: Obtain the traceroute to the device from the associated On-Premise Poller. 
• Resync device: Resync the device if polling has stopped. 
• Add to Monitor Group: Choose an existing monitor group or create a new one. Monitors can be organized into monitor groups to ease administration.
• Suspend: Suspend the device.
• Delete: Delete the device.

Click a device to view different tabs such as Device Performance, Interfaces, Performance Counters, Tabular Performance Counters, Outages, Inventory, and Log Report. These tabs provide in-depth network device information.

Filter devices by Category, Type, Subnet, Vendor, and On-Premise Poller

1. Navigate to Network > Network Devices. 
2. Below the Network Devices tab in the left pane, you will see options to filter devices by Category, Type, Subnet, Vendor, and On-Premise Poller (Figure 1, marked as 2).
3. Select the filter that you require to view the devices that fit into that filter type.
4. You can further filter the devices based on the status, tags, or monitor groups.

Device Performance tab

Access details on a device's availability, response time, and downtime by clicking its name on the Network Devices page and viewing the first tab (Device Performance) that opens. Here, you can view widgets for Availability (%), Downtimes, Events Timeline, Updates, Response Time, Packet loss, CPU Utilization, Memory Utilization, Device Details, and Hardware Details. 

If you have configured performance counters for CPU Utilization and Memory Utilization, you'll view that here. You can also configure the product to view Custom Monitoring Metrics by editing Device Templates.
