DetailDescriptionDesired State
General Health Status

The general health status of the agent is relayed by the color of the box wrapping its details.

  • Green – The agent is running and is ready to receive and store syslog messages (Keepalive checks were successful)
  • Yellow – Keepalive checks in the last 3 minutes have failed.
  • Red – Keepalive checks in the last 10 minutes or more have failed.
Green - the agent is healthy.
Date / TimeThe timestamp of the last successful Keepalive check. A delay of over a minute may suggest a performance problem.
Note: It is important to verify that system time is synced correctly when reading these values.		< 3 minutes
NumberMsg. Rate

This is the total number of messages of all types (syslog, WS-M, and keepalive messages) processed by this agent in the last 10 minutes.

Verify:

  • That the number is greater than 1. If it isn’t, either agents are down or the network is down.
  • For Syslog agents: the number should reflect the expected throughput of raw logs records received from all monitored devices in the last 10 minutes.
  • For WS-M agents: If WS-M recording is enabled, the number should reflect the message throughput for the recording service/domain in 10 minutes.
  • If this value is more than 500,000 consider redistributing traffic to other agents, in order to optimize performance

You may redirect syslog traffic from one agent to another by assigning it to a domain a specific agent. For more details see Adding Monitored Devices.

1 < value < 500,000

(if there are any monitored devices)

Dropped Msgs
(For Syslog and WS-M agents)		This is the total number of syslog or WS-M messages that were sent from the monitored devices but were not processed by the DPOD agent in the last 10 minutes.

Dropped messages usually indicate that the agent cannot keep up with the load, consider to redistribute the traffic to other agents.		0
