System Capacity Page

The Web > Reporting > System Capacity page allows you to view the overall workload that is put on the Security Management appliance by the Web Security appliances. Most importantly, you can use the System Capacity page to track growth over time and plan for system capacity. Monitoring your Web Security appliances ensures that the capacity is appropriate to your volumes. Over time, volume inevitably rises and appropriate monitoring ensures that additional capacity or configuration changes can be applied proactively.

The System Capacity page can be used to determine the following information:

• Identify when Web Security appliances are exceeding recommended CPU capacity; this enables you to determine when configuration optimization or additional appliances are needed.
• For troubleshooting, identify which parts of the system are using the most resources.
• Identify response time and Proxy buffer memory.
• Identify the transactions per second, and any connections that are outstanding.
