Use the Dashboard page to:

✔ Select a node

✔ See which nodes are on and which are off

✔ See if an alarm condition exists on any node

If an alarm condition exists, you can click the alarm light to view a
description of the alarm and resolve it.

✔ See the number (cumulative to date) of objects served to users from each

node

✔ See the traffic load (as current transactions per second)

The meter dial shows you how hard a node is working. When the needle is to
the left on the dial, the work load is light. When the needle is to the far right
(red), the node is overloaded.

Dashboard alert lights

The Dashboard contains two alert lights: an on/off light and an alarm light. Alert
lights indicate the following about a node:

Resolving alarms

Alarms alert you to problems or warn you of potential problems. Alarm
conditions themselves are built into the appliance—you cannot change them.

If an alarm light is on, you can click it to view a description of the alarm
conditions. Click the Resolve button to acknowledge that you have been
informed of the condition.

Important

Clicking the Resolve button only dismisses alarm messages; it does not actually
resolve the cause of the alarms.
