3. System

The Status Monitor page displays system monitoring information.

The monitor page can be viewed as a separate read-only page without the menu system. Also the information is available in XML-format. See velow for more information.

3.1. System status

Displays current system usage statistics.

The window is constantly updated.

CPU usage

CPU load.

Load

Average system load.

Memory (physical)

Free and total system memory in megabytes.

Memory (swap)

Maximum and used swap memory in megabytes/kilobytes.

Files/Sockets

Open files and sockets.

Processes

Number of running processes.

Network buffers

Currently used network buffers, peak usage and available.

3.2. Interfaces

Displays various interface information parameters.

Interface

Interface description/name.

Status

Physical interface status.

System IP

Current system IP address for the interface.

In data

Incoming data.

Out data

Outgoing data.

In pkts.

Incoming packets in packets per second.

Out pkts.

Outgoing packets in packets per second.

3.3. Modules

Displays status and memory usage for important system components.

In the graphical user interface in general daemons can have the values OK (in XML output 1) or ERROR (in XML output -1). The Sync Daemon and Proxy core have some extra status codes that are explained below.

Proxy core

Proxy core components.

Status code can be STOPPED indicating that no physical interfaces are bound to the proxy core (XML output 2) or that Proxy core is stopped by the system since no proxies are defined (XML output 0).

ADM daemon

Admd - The administrative layer.

Stats daemon

The subsystem recording proxy statistics.

Log daemon

The subsystem handling logging.

Learner daemon

The automated learner.

Alert daemon

The subsystem issuing attack alerts via Syslog and email.

Sync daemon

The subsystem which handles cluster synchronization.

Status code can be INACTIVE indicating that synchronization is not enabled and the Sync daemon therefore is not running.

Health check daemon

Daemon checking backend servers.

3.4. Disk I/O

The Disk I/O section shows disk activity information.

Read

Data read from disk per second.

Write

Data written to disk per second.

I/O ops.

I/O operations per second.

3.5. Disk

The disk section shows disk usage information per partition.

/log

Log partition.

/cache

Content cache partition.

/db

Access policy partition.

/profense

Applications partition.

3.6. Read-only monitor access

To view the monitor page directly or using an XML client follow the instructions below.

3.6.1. As HTML

Click the monitor button in the lower button bar on the monitor page. This will open a new window.

3.6.2. XML format

Access the address https://address_of_management_interface:4849/monitor.html?xml using an XML client.

An XML data structure with the values above will be returned. Note however that the units can be different from the HTML output. The XML keys therefore the unit the value is returned in.
