System Overview

The System Overview dashboard is composed of five widgets that together provide a quick status report about your system components.

System Activity

This widget provides a view of transactions flowing through the system.

The time interval and transaction numbers displayed are filtered according to your filter settings in the Filters Stripe.


Transactions

Successful transactions per second passing through the system.

Transactions Week Before

Successful transactions per second that passed through the system in the same time interval the prior week. 

The scale for both the transactions and transactions week before graphs is displayed on the left side of the widget.

Errors 

Error transactions per second.

The scale for the error transactions is displayed on the right side of the widget.

Note that the scale for these graphs is different, in order to show meaningful variations in the error graph. 

Error Types Explained

The errors displayed here are network or SSL errors. Transactions that are erroneous as a result of the output policy are not reported here, as
they are not considered to have ended in an error state.

Device CPU (Top 5)

This widget shows the percentage of CPU used by the five most CPU-bound devices over the time interval.

Device Memory (Top 5)

This widget shows the percentage of Memory used by the five most memory-constrained devices over the time interval.


The Device CPU and Memory widgets may highlight devices that are at or nearing capacity. The information provided could assist in
workload re-distribution or adding more devices to the system.

System Errors

The widget displays a table containing all errors logged by the devices (on the default domain only) during the time interval displayed (as controlled by the active filters).

The following information is displayed for each error

ColumnDescription
Device

The device that reported the error.

The device name is a link. Clicking the link will load the Raw Messages Investigate view,
with the filters set to display system messages from this device only

Category

The category of the error.
The category value within the System Errors widget is always system.

Other categories such as network or ws-proxy are available on other views

Possible values in the error view are:

  • error

  • alert
  • emerg.

The information in this widget can help identify devices that log errors extensively.
