Using Performance graphs

The Performance graphing tool (Multi Router Traffic Grapher [MRTG]) allows you to monitor Content Gateway performance and analyze network traffic. Performance graphs show information about virtual memory usage, client connections, and so on. The information provided is recorded from the time that Content Gateway was started. Statistics are gathered at 5-minute intervals.

Use the Monitor > Performance page in the Content Gateway manager to access performance graphs.

Important: To run MRTG, you must have Perl v5.005 or later installed on your Content Gateway system.

Steps

  1. If your Content Gateway node is in a cluster, select the node whose statistics you want to view from the Monitor > My Proxy > Summary page.
  2. Go to the Performance > Monitor page.
  3. Select an option:
    • Click Overview to see a subset of available graphs.
    • Click Daily to see statistics for the current day.
    • Click Weekly to see statistics for the current week.
    • Click Monthly to see statistics for the current month.
    • Click Yearly to see statistics for the current year.
  4. Wait at least 15 minutes after starting Content Gateway before looking at the graphs. It takes several 5-minute sample intervals for the tool to initialize statistics.
