Data Retention 

This menu item within system settings allows you to specify how much data is to be stored in Cisco Prime 

Infrastructure. By default you can store the performance data as short, medium, and long-term data for 7, 31, and 

378 days, respectively. You can increase these numbers based on the hard drive space that is provided to Cisco 

Prime Infrastructure. 

Data De-duplication 

This menu item within system settings allows you to change the data source for a given site. For example, if you 

have a NAM at the San Francisco branch as well as NetFlow data being sent from that branch, how would Cisco 

Prime Infrastructure know which source to use? While this can be done automatically, you can override the system 

and define a specific source for a particular site at this location. 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides a very easy and flexible model for monitoring your wired/wireless network. 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure allows you to define or "design" monitoring templates that dictate how and what you 

want to monitor. You can then turn on monitoring by deploying the monitoring template. The results are then shown 

in the form of dashboards, dashlets, and reports. 

The Dashboards that provide Assurance-related information are: 

a.  Dashboard  Overview  Service Assurance 

b.  Services  Application Visibility and Control  Service Health 

c. 

Dashboard  Performance (all of the dashboards) 

The following sections describe how Cisco Prime Infrastructure can be used to visualize application visibility. For 
an overview of all the use cases, please refer to the “AVC Technology Overview” section. 

Discover Application Usage in the Network 

Global View 

For a global view of all application running across your network, browse to Dashboard  Overview and select 

By clicking a specific application in the Top N Applications dashlet, you are redirected to the Application detail 

dashboard tab where you get all the details about this application. In this example, we can look at the Youtube 

application and get the IP addresses of the most demanding users:
