Web Reporting Page Descriptions
The ‘Maximum’ value indicator on the System Capacity page is the highest value seen for the specified
period. The ‘Average’ value is the average of all values for the specified period. The period of
aggregation depends on the interval selected for that report. For example, you can choose to see the
Average and Maximum values for each day if the chart is for a month period.

If you select Year for the time range for other reports, we recommend that you select the largest time

System Capacity - System Load
The first four graphs on the System Capacity window show the system load reports. These reports show
the overall CPU usage on the appliances. AsyncOS is optimized to use idle CPU resources to improve
transaction throughput. High CPU usage may not indicate a system capacity problem. If the high CPU
usage is coupled with consistent, high-volume memory page swapping, you may have a capacity
problem. This page also shows a graph that displays the amount of CPU used by different functions,
including processing for the Web Security appliance reporting. The CPU-by-function graph is an
indicator of which areas of the product use the most resources on your system. If you need to optimize
your appliance, this graph can help you determine which functions may need to be tuned or disabled.

Additionally, the Response Time/Latency and Transactions Per Second graphs shows the overall
response time (in milliseconds), and transactions per second for the date range specified in the Time
Range drop-down menu.

System Capacity - Network Load
The next graphs on the System Capacity window show the outgoing connections, the bandwidth out, and
the proxy buffer memory statistics. You can view the results for a day, week, month, or year. It is
important to understand the trends of normal volume and spikes in your environment.

important to understand the trends of normal volume and spikes in your environment.
The Proxy Buffer Memory may indicate spikes in network traffic during normal operation, but if the
graph climbs steadily to the maximum, the appliance may be reaching its maximum capacity and you
should consider adding capacity.

Note About Proxy Buffer Memory Swapping
The system is designed to swap proxy buffer memory regularly, so some proxy buffer memory swapping
is expected and is not an indication of problems with your appliance. Unless the system consistently
swaps proxy buffer memory in high volumes, proxy buffer memory swapping is normal and expected
behavior. If your system runs with extremely high volumes, and consistently swaps proxy buffer memory
due to the high volumes, you may need to add Web Security appliances to your network or tune your
configuration to ensure maximum throughput to improve performance.
