The NTS Single Image (NTS-SI) feature lets you access data from domains other than the domain in which your NTS region is active. Provided that the NTS regions are linked by suitably configured ISR links, NTS-SI lets you access trace data from other NTS regions in other domains exactly as if the session partners were both in the local domain.
It is possible to centralize the monitoring of logical network activity in multiple domains by expanding the sources of data available to an NTS region to include the following types of data:
The NTS regions may be in the same network or different networks. You are presented with a single image of the sessions between resources throughout the network, and of the performance and problem determination data collected for these sessions, provided that you do the following:
This single image perspective is preserved in the NTS database and NTS user exit.
The user is not aware that data originates from both local and remote domains. Actions performed by NTS in response to requests to view information may differ, depending on the source of the information, but all commands, panels, and general presentation of data are consistent, irrespective of the data source.
