 +====== Network Group Functionality ======
 +
 +Author: Michelle McCausland
 +
 +===== Introduction =====
 +
 +This page will outline what a network group is and how it integrates into the IDMS.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== What is a Network Group ? =====
 +
 +Simply put, a network group is used to denote a grouping of networks.
 +
 +This is different than a cluster which is used to denote groupings of network elements based on their carrier and location.
 +
 +A network group can contain networks in multiple locations and have multiple carriers.
 +
 +The current implementation (June 2017) for Extenet Network groups is that they are used by venue type users in the NOC portal and EMS. See [[onboarding:snmpmanager:extenet_user_types|Extenet User Types]] for more background on user types.
 +
 +----
 +
 +
 +===== How is a Network Group implemented across the IDMS ? =====
 +
 +Network groups are created in the SNMP Manager and then synced to the Noc Portal - See section below on "Creating A New Network Group".
 +
 +Network groups are utilised in the Noc Portal and the EMS.
 +
 +Note: As part of IDMS 3.1 a large amount of development was allocated to the network group functionality in the IDMS.
 +
 +
 +==== Network Groups in the Noc Portal ====
 +
 +From the front end of the Noc Portal, network groups can be viewed from the Dropdown menu in the top centre of the screen:
 +
 +{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup1.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +Selecting a network group will display relevant network elements, tickets and alarms located in the selected network group. (See IDMS 3.1 improvements)
 +
 +
 +==== Network Groups in the EMS ====
 +
 +From the front end of the EMS, network groups can be viewed from the Network Group tree along the left side of the screen:
 +
 +{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup2.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +Selecting a network group will display the relevant information located in the selected network group. (See IDMS 3.1 improvements)
 +
 +----
 +
 +
 +===== DB Schema =====
 +
 +INCLUDE SCHEMA DIAGRAM
 +
 +**Network Group Query:**
 +
 +<code>
 +SELECT ne.id as neId, ne.name as neName, ne.ne_type, nea.id networkElementAttributeId, nea.name attributeName, nea.type_id as attributeTypeId, neat.name as attributeTypeName, ng.name as networkGroupName
 +FROM network_element ne
 +JOIN network_element_network_element_attribute nenea ON nenea.network_element_attributes_id = ne.id
 +JOIN network_element_attribute nea ON nea.id = nenea.network_element_attribute_id
 +JOIN network_element_attribute_type neat ON neat.id = nea.type_id
 +JOIN network_group ng ON ng.attribute_id = nea.id
 +WHERE ne.show_in_monitor;
 +</code>
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== Creating A New Network Group =====
 +
 +**SNMP Manager**
 +
 +1. In the SNMP Manager, navigate to the Network Element Attribute page and click **New NetworkElementAttribute**:
 +
 +{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup3.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +2. Fill in the attribute name and select a type of Venue:
 +
 +{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup4.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +3. Remaining in the SNMP Manager, navigate to the Network Group page and click **New NetworkGroup**:
 +
 +{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup5.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +4. Fill in the name of the network group and associate it with the Network Element Attribute you created in steps 1 & 2:
 +
 +{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup6.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +5. The next step is to assign network elements to the new network group. 
 +
 +As of the time of writing (June 17) this is done through the database and not the GUI. See [[https://errigal.atlassian.net/browse/IDMS-1570|IDMS-1570]] for future improvements to this process.
 +
 +To achieve this through the DB you will need to insert values into the **network_element_network_element_attribute** table.
 +
 +**network_element_network_element_attribute Table**
 +
 +network_element_attributes_id - This field contains the ID of the network element 
 +
 +network_element_attribute_id - This field contains the ID of the network element attribute
 +
 +  * Perform a query to retrieve all of the network element ids you require to add to the network group.  
 +  * Retrieve the id of the network element attribute.
 +  * Enter this data into an excel sheet and generate sql Insert statements from this. 
 +
 +Example Insert Statement:
 +<code>
 +INSERT INTO network_element_network_element_attribute (network_element_attributes_id, network_element_attribute_id) VALUES (213172, 58);
 +</code>
 +
 +Example Excel Sheet:{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup7.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +**Noc Portal**
 +
 +6. Navigate to the NOC Portal admin section, go to the Network Group page and click the Sync with SnmpManager button:
 +
 +{{ :onboarding:snmpmanager:networkgroup8.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +Ensure the network group was successfully synced to the Noc Portal.
