Note:

The widgets displayed depend on the asset type and version.

Concurrent Connections

The Concurrent Connections widget shows the total number of concurrent connections.

Throughput (bits/sec)

The Throughput (bits/sec) widget shows:

  • Overall - The overall rate of successfully received and transmitted data over the communication channels.

  • By interface - The rate of successfully received and transmitted data split by individual interfaces.

Connection Drops

The Connection Drops widget shows the total number of connections dropped by Security Gateway Software Blades.

Network Drops

The Network Drops widget shows the total number of dropped packets received and transmitted since boot.

Connection Rate

The Connection Rate widget displays the number of connections per second that were successfully forwarded by the gateway.
Note:
Dropped connections are tracked separately in the Connection Drops widget. Both graphs measure traffic from the same pool of attempted connections. So it is expected that the dropped rate to exceed the sent rate under high load or when policy rules block significant traffic. This is not a measurement error. To assess overall connection health, review both graphs together: sent + dropped connections = total attempted connection rate at any given time.

Throughput (packets/sec)

The Throughput (packets/sec) widget shows:

  • Overall - The overall rate of successfully received and transmitted packets over the communication channels.

  • By interface - The rate of successfully received and transmitted packets split by individual interfaces.
