Chapter 14 Monitoring Your Network

Monitoring Resource Usage

DM provides resource usage so that you can easily determine if you need to reallocate resources to a

particular virtual context, view traffic usage in your contexts, or determine available usage for your

contexts. There are three modes in which DM provides resource usage for ACEs:

• Virtual-context based resource usage—You must choose Monitor > Virtual Contexts > Resource

Usage > Resource Usage and select a virtual context from the top-right drop-down menu to view

resource usage specific to the context (see the “Monitoring Virtual Context Resource Usage” section

on page 14-17).

• System-wide resource usage—You must choose Monitor > Virtual Contexts > Resource Usage to

view system-wide information and to display the following options:

–

Connections—Displays traffic resource usage information. See the “Monitoring System Traffic

Resource Usage” section on page 14-19.

–

Features—Displays non-connection based resource usage information. See the “Monitoring

System Non-Connection Based Resource Usage” section on page 14-20.

• Dashboard usage—You can choose either Monitor > Virtual Contexts > Context Dashboard or

Monitor > Virtual Contexts> System Dashboard. See the “Using Dashboards to Monitor the ACE

System and Virtual Contexts” section on page 14-2.

See the “Configuring Virtualization” chapter of the Virtualization Guide, Cisco ACE Application

Control Engine for the maximum resource usage value for each attribute.

Monitoring Virtual Context Resource Usage

DM displays resource usage for virtual contexts as explained in the following steps.

See the “Configuring Virtualization” chapter in the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine

Appliance Virtualization Configuration Guide for the maximum resource usage value for each attribute.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Monitor > Virtual Contexts > Resource Usage > Resource Usage.

Step 2 Use the object selector to view resource usage specific to the context.

The information in Table 14-2 is displayed.

Note There might be a slight delay because the resource usage information is gathered real-time from

the ACE appliance.
