The Summary - All Switches,
Summary - All Routers, or
Summary - All Firewalls views display the resource consumption and any alarms generated against all of the monitored switches, routers, and firewalls, organized into several simple views.
The Switches,
Routers, and
Firewalls views each display a list of the existing switches and routers, and indicate their alarm state.
Selecting the All Switches,
All Routers, or
All Firewalls entry displays overall resource utilization for all devices of the selected type (switches or routers), and identifies the devices that consume the highest amount of system resources in the
Summary views appearing on the right. Selecting an individual switch or router displays device-specific metrics in the
NMS Switch, NMS Router and NMS Firewall views on the right.
The Summary tab in the device
dialog box shows a series of charts displaying the monitoring statistics of the selected device. This can give you a better idea of how the selected device is performing and gives indicators about potential performance problems, if they exist. For example, a high network or CPU utilization often suggests high device loads that require further investigation.
