Dashboard

Introduction

The Dashboard page clearly displays key information, data, and various states of the device in graphical widgets. It provides a pre-defined tab and allows you also to define tabs as needed. The pre-defined tab displays information about the basic modules and allows you to add other modules as required. You can also customize tabs and add modules to these tabs. Security monitor displays service and user security statistics, device key information, and statistical data about types of traffic and sessions. The system does not support customizing widgets for display.

Support for the modules depends on the device model.

Operation monitor—Device status

The Device Status widget displays the CPU usage, memory usage, and flash usage. To view detailed device information and set alarm thresholds, click the Details icon to go to the System resource usage page. Device information includes device status, device type, and software version.

The following types of alarm thresholds are available and you can set alarm thresholds as required:

• CPU usage thresholds: The system samples CPU usage at 1-minute intervals and compares the samples with the CPU usage threshold and the CPU usage recovery threshold.

  • If a sample is equal to or greater than the CPU usage threshold, the device determines the CPU usage is high and sends traps to affected service modules and processes.

  • If a sample decreases to or below the CPU usage recovery threshold, the device determines the CPU usage has recovered and sends traps to affected service modules and processes.

• Free memory thresholds: To ensure correct operation and improve memory efficiency, the system performs the following operations:

  • Samples memory usage at 1-minute intervals. If the sample is equal to or greater than the memory usage threshold, the device sends a trap.

  • Monitors the amount of free memory space in real time. If the amount of free memory space reaches the level-1 (minor), level-2 (severe), or level-3 (critical) alarm threshold, the system issues an alarm to affected service modules and processes.

  As shown in Table-1, the system supports the following free-memory thresholds:

  • Normal state threshold.

  • Level-1 alarm threshold.

  • Level-2 alarm threshold.

  • Level-3 alarm threshold.

  Table-1 Memory alarm notifications and memory alarm-removed notifications

  Notification	Triggering condition	Remarks
  Level-1 alarm notification	The amount of free memory space decreases below the level-1 alarm threshold.	After generating and sending a level-1 alarm notification, the system does not generate and send any additional level-1 alarm notifications until the level-1 alarm is removed.
  Level-2 alarm notification	The amount of free memory space decreases below the level-2 alarm threshold.	After generating and sending a level-2 alarm notification, the system does not generate and send any additional level-2 alarm notifications until the level-2 alarm is removed.
  Level-3 alarm notification	The amount of free memory space decreases below the level-3 alarm threshold.	After generating and sending a level-3 alarm notification, the system does not generate and send any additional level-3 alarm notifications until the level-3 alarm is removed. When a level-3 alarm notification is generated, the device automatically restarts the corresponding card.
  Level-3 alarm-removed notification	The amount of free memory space increases above the level-2 alarm threshold.	N/A
  Level-2 alarm-removed notification	The amount of free memory space increases above the level-1 alarm threshold.	N/A
  Level-1 alarm-removed notification	The amount of free memory space increases above the normal state threshold.	N/A

  If a memory alarm occurs, delete unused configuration items or disable some features to increase the free memory space. Because the memory space is insufficient, some configuration items might not be able to be deleted.
