System Monitor
Monitoring the health of your system is now a point-and-click operation from the System > System
Monitor dashboard. The main page gives you a quick summary of the health of the machine you
are on.
This quick visual summary is supplemented with links that can give you more in-depth information.
Selecting the Details link gives a quick summary of general, system and network system statistics.
Selecting the More link offers a Check Status link at the top of the Utilities list. It expands the
information displayed on the dashboard.
Note: Numerous advanced utilities are also accessible from the More link.
Alerts
Alerts are regularly reported to the events database, which is polled every 2 minutes. Every alert in
the database is available within this interval through the GUI, and the timestamp is reported for
each alert.
