You can view data for all VPNs configured on a specific broker in heatmap, table, or grid formats, or you can view data for a single VPN. Displays in this View are:
VPNs Heatmap: A color-coded heatmap view of the current status of all VPNs configured on a specific broker.
VPNs Table: A tabular view of all available data for all VPNs configured on a specific broker.
VPNs Summary: Current and historical metrics for a single VPN.
View the status of all VPNs configured on a specific broker in a heatmap format, which allows you to quickly identify VPNs with critical alerts. Each rectangle in the heatmap represents a VPN. The rectangle color indicates the alert state and rectangle size represents the number of connections.
Select a broker from the Broker drop-down menu, or enter a search string in the Filter VPN Name field, and select a metric from the Metric drop-down menu. Use the Show Operational Only check-box to include or exclude non-operational VPNs in the heatmap. Use the Log Scale and Auto Scale check-boxes
to apply log or auto scale. Use the Show Broker check-box
to include or exclude broker names in the heatmap.
By default, this display shows Alert Severity, but you can mouse over a rectangle to see additional metrics. Drill down and investigate by clicking a rectangle in the heatmap to view details for the selected application in the VPNs Summary display.

View neighbor broker current configuration details and message throughput rates.
Select a broker and a neighbor broker from the drop down menus. Check message throughput rates to the neighbor broker, as well as neighbor Up Time, State, Data Port, number of connections and link costs.
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, Egress Flows or Spool Msgs.
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.

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. |
