• Nomad

• DO.

Note

If this filter is applied to any app page, it is reflected on all other pages in the Nomad App.

The Device view is a common view used throughout Tachyon to present details of a device from multiple Tachyon Platform applications.

The default view in the Nomad devices view is Downloads. The remaining tabs display information corresponding to an app, feature or data set implemented in Tachyon, other tabs are visible if an app has been installed and licensed, and the user has permissions to use the app, refer to Additional Device View Tabs for detail. Clicking on one of the links in the FQDN column of the Devices page displays the Device view for the selected device. The aim of the Device view is to provide a combined overview of all the information known about a device, along with the ability to retrieve information about the device in real-time. When displaying the Device view from a Nomad page, the view defaults to the Downloads tab. The Downloads tab contains information derived from and useful for using Nomad.

In addition, the Summary banner displays a quick summary of the information provided in the various tabs displayed in the Device View. It can be viewed by toggling the Summary banner switch to on, refer to Summary banner for details.

Downloads tab

TheDownloadstab has three items:

• Summary

• Content

• Nomad Configuration.

The Downloads tab presents download activity and status for the device. Whenever you click on an FQDN on any of the Nomad dashboard pages, the Device details page will be displayed with the Downloads tab selected.

Summary

Summary has four panels:

• Status bar

• Bandwidth Usage Per Day by Content Source (UTC)

• P2P Efficiency by Content Source

• Content Titles Count by Content Type.

Status bar

The status bar along the top shows high-level download statistics for this device:

Column	Description
Downloaded	Number of completed downloads on this device.
Downloading	Number of downloads that are actively in progress on this device.
Failed	Number of downloads on devices that are currently in the site, whose latest status is failed.
Bandwidth Protection	Bandwidth Protection allows Nomad to adjust the speed of ongoing downloads to save bandwidth for other business use. Bandwidth Protection ensures Nomad doesn't consume excess bandwidth and hinder other business activity.

Clicking on any of these icons will navigate to theContentview of theDevice detailtab, filtered according to the clicked icon.

Bandwidth Usage Per Day by Content Source (UTC)

The Bandwidth Usage Per Day by Content Source (UTC) tile represents daily download activity on this device for the last 30 days. A column is displayed for each day when there was download activity. Each column indicates the volume of content that was downloaded over the WAN (in orange) or from peers (in grey).

Hovering over a segment of the column displays the volume of content downloaded on that day, demonstrating the value that Nomad and Delivery Optimization are providing through reduced WAN traffic. If the majority of content is being downloaded over the WAN, it could indicate that peers are simply not available (e.g. this device is being used from home) or it could be an indication that Nomad or Delivery Optimization are not correctly configured to optimize content from peers.

P2P Efficiency by Content Source

The P2P Efficiency by Content Source tile represents the overall peer-to-peer efficiency on this device. The data is grouped by source (Peers and WAN) and displayed as a donut chart showing the volume of content downloaded from peers (in grey) and from the source over the WAN (in orange).

The chart gives an indication of the overall value of Nomad and Delivery Optimization on this device. Ideally, more content will be downloaded from peers than from the source over the WAN, thereby saving network bandwidth. Where this is not the case, it could be due to remote working (where there are no peers available), or it could be due to configuration settings on the client that are not optimized for peer-to-peer caching and availability.

Clicking on a segment in this chart will navigate to the Content view for this device, filtered to show content that was downloaded from the selected source (Peer or WAN).

Content Titles Count by Content Type

The Content Titles Count by Content Type chart gives an indication of the number of Endpoint Manager applications and Software Update this device has downloaded.

Clicking on a segment in this chart will navigate to the Content view for this device, filtered by the selected Content Type.

Content

The Content panel shows the status of content downloaded on the device:

Column	Description
Content Titles	Content title, for: CM Packages, this is the Package name CM Applications, this is a combination of the Application name and Deployment Type name Software Updates, this is the title of the Software Update as defined in the Microsoft Update catalog (this is collected from the client, not the Microsoft Catalog).
Type	Currently, either Endpoint Manager or Software Update.
Status	Current status of the content on this device. This can include the following statuses. Downloading Downloaded (Cached) - downloaded and has not subsequently reported deletion Downloaded (Deleted) - downloaded but has subsequently been deleted from the cache Cancelled Failed.
Latest Activity	Date and time of the latest event for the content title on this device.
Duration	The time taken to download the content.
Download Bytes	Amount of bytes of the content actually downloaded by the device. In some cases, especially with Software Updates, only deltas or byte ranges will be downloaded rather than the entire source content.
Content Source	A bar indicating the proportion of the content that was downloaded over the WAN or from peers.

Note

The Time period filter does not apply to detail pages.

As a result, if you have set the Time period filter on the Devices page to, for example, Last 7 days, you may see different results on the detail page for a device.

Navigation and filtering

There are four ways you can filter viewable content:

• Search...

• Sources

• Types
