Clients

These displays allow you to view the current and historical metrics for clients configured on a VPN. Displays in this View are:

Clients Table

View VPN clients configured on all brokers, a single broker, all VPNs or a single VPN. Each table row is a different VPN client connection. Use the drop-down menus to show All, Expired or Unexpired clients as well as All, Internal or Primary clients (processes that run on the broker under the Solace OS). Enter a string for Filter Client Name to show only clients with this string in their name.

By default, a subset of available metrics is shown. Use More Columns/Less Columns to toggle to the complete set of metrics available (and back to the subset).

This display is populated by two caches, SolClientsStats and SolClients. SolClientsStats provides most of the data. SolClients provides the static data. If the SolClients cache encounters an issue the static fields in this display are blank.

Search by clicking the right side of a column heading/Filter to open the Search, Sort and Choose Columns dialog:

Client Summary

View current and historical performance and utilization metrics for a single VPN client.

Select a broker, VPN and client from the drop-down menus. You can view the Client Type, the User Name, the Client ID, the associated Platform, the current Up Time, and additional information specific to the client. You can also view the total number of incoming and outgoing messages, as well as the number of incoming and outgoing persistent, non-persistent, direct, and discarded messages.

You can hover over the metric cards to see more performance metrics and also drill down to see even more detail by clicking on them.

The bottom half of the display provides current and historical performance metrics for the selected broker. The trend graph traces the performance metric you select: Ingress Flows or Egress Flows.

You can hover over the trend graph to see the values at a particular time. You can specify the time range for the trend graph and view data based on a log scale, which enables visualization on a logarithmic scale and should be used when the range in your data is very broad.

This display is populated by two caches, SolClientsStats and SolClients. SolClientsStats provides most of the data. SolClients provides the static data. If the SolClients cache encounters an issue the graphic elements that have no data are replaced with N/A.

Inbound Client Msgs /sec

The number of incoming client messages per second.

 

Outbound Client Msgs /sec

The number of outgoing client messages per second.

Trend Graphs

Traces the sum of message processing for the selected client.

  • Total In Msgs/sec: The number of incoming messages (per second) for the client.

  • Dir-In Msgs/sec: The number of incoming direct messages (per second) for the client.

  • Persistent In Msgs/sec: The number of incoming persistent messages (per second) for the client.

  • Non Persistent In Msgs/sec: The number of incoming non-persistent messages (per second) for the client.

 

Log Scale

Select to enable a logarithmic scale. Use Log Scale to see usage correlations for data with a wide range of values. For example, if a minority of your data is on a scale of tens, and a majority of your data is on a scale of thousands, the minority of your data is typically not visible in non-log scale graphs. Log Scale makes data on both scales visible by applying logarithmic values rather than actual values to the data.

 

Time Settings

By default, the time range end point is the current time. To change the time range, click the Time Settings cld_clockButton00103.gif and either:

  • choose a Time range from 5 Minutes to 7 Days in the drop-down menu.

  • specify begin/end dates using the calendar cld_calendarButton00104.gif.

  • specify begin/end time using the clock cld_clockButton00105.gif .

    cld_time_settingsMenu00106.gif

Toggle forward/backward in the trend graph per the period you choose (from the Time range drop-down menu) using arrows cld_time_settingsArrows00107.gif.

Restore settings to current time by selecting now cld_time_settingsNow00108.gif.
