CPM - Cisco Performance Monitor

Cisco’s Medianet Performance Monitor (CPM) is an extension of Flexible NetFlow (FNF) which itself is an extension and improvement of the traditional NetFlow technology. Besides the regular NetFlow information like source and/or destination IP addresses or port numbers it can collect a wide range of metrics including:

  • Jitter
  • Packet loss
  • Transport Event Packet Loss
  • Round Trip Time

When you configure Performance Monitor, we need the following items:

  • Flow record – type performance monitor: this is where we configure the metrics that we want to collect.
  • Flow exporter: this is where we configure the server that we want to export our metrics to.
  • Flow monitor- type performance monitor: this is where we link the flow record and flow exporter together.
  • Class-map: we use a class map to define what traffic we want to monitor.
  • Policy-map – type performance monitor: this is where we add all of our class maps.
  • Interface: the policy-map is added to the interface. You can choose between inbound, outbound, or both directions.
