DHCP Alerts for Client Devices

overview the nile access service continuously monitors the dhcp transactions across all connected client devices when a significant percentage of clients encounter dhcp failures, the nile access service generates alerts to notify the network administrators dhcp alert thresholds the nile access service uses the following thresholds to determine when to generate dhcp alerts 5% to 10% client failures if 1% to 10% of the clients attempting dhcp transactions in the last 15 minutes (with a sliding window of 5 minutes) have encountered failures, the following alert is generated dhcp alert 5% <= clients < 10% <# number> of clients attempting dhcp transactions in the last 15 minutes encountered failures at \<site> for \<x hrs/mins> 10% to 25% client failures if 10% to 25% of the clients attempting dhcp transactions in the last 15 minutes have encountered failures, the following alert is generated dhcp alert 10% <= clients < 25% <# number> of clients (>10%) attempting dhcp transactions in the last 15 minutes encountered failures at \<site> for \<x hrs/mins> 25% to 100% client failures if 25% to 100% of the clients attempting dhcp transactions in the last 15 minutes have encountered failures, the following alert is generated dhcp alert 25% <= clients <= 100% <# number> of clients (>25%) attempting dhcp transactions in the last 15 minutes encountered failures at \<site> for \<x hrs/mins> alert lifecycle the dhcp alert is "closed" when the condition is cleared, i e , when less than 1% of the clients are encountering dhcp failures alert categorization and visibility the dhcp alerts are categorized as "client devices" in the nile cloud services portal's alert table when a user clicks on the alert, they are taken to the "devices" page, which displays the filtered list of devices with the corresponding dhcp errors by providing these dhcp alerts, the nile access service helps network administrators quickly identify and address any issues related to dhcp, ensuring the seamless operation of the network infrastructure
