Managing Memory
Network congestion is handled by buffering. Reconnex iGuard continually processes data in
memory and stores each packet as it arrives at its destination. Examining the Flow Profile
Reports can help you to get a detailed picture of traffic on your network.
For example, the mlinkCount column in these reports may show an excessive number of links
being used by a single IP address. If you are a highly skilled network administrator, you may be
able to use that information to reallocate resources or reassemble TCP sessions.
However, before you attempt any operations to optimize network performance, you should first
consult Reconnex Technical Support.
System Logging
Reviewing the system logs can show exactly what a system was doing at a particular time. They
can be used to figure out whether or not an inSight or iGuard system is working properly.
All events and exceptions for all subsystems are reported to system logs. They can be viewed
along with the other Advanced Utilities at System > System Administration > Advanced > Logs.
Note: You can enlarge the type size on the log list page with a browser feature, Control-+. It
may not be available on all browsers.
Using Logs
You can click on any log and copy its contents to troubleshoot your system yourself — or a
technical support representative may determine that one or more logs may hold relevant
information for solving a problem.
1. Go to System > System Administration > Advanced > Logs > View iGuard Logs.
This will launch a window containing a list of the available logs.
