Use the Dashboard page to:

✔ Select a node

✔ See which nodes are on and which are off

✔ See if an alarm condition exists on any node

If an alarm condition exists, you can click the alarm light to view a 
description of the alarm and resolve it.

✔ See the number (cumulative to date) of objects served to users from each 

node

✔ See the traffic load (as current transactions per second)

The meter dial shows you how hard a node is working. When the needle is to 
the left on the dial, the work load is light. When the needle is to the far right 
(red), the node is overloaded.

Dashboard alert lights

The Dashboard contains two alert lights: an on/off light and an alarm light. Alert 
lights indicate the following about a node:

If an alarm light is on, you can click it to view a description of the alarm

informed of the condition. 

Clicking the Resolve button only dismisses alarm messages; it does not actually 
resolve the cause of the alarms.
