Overall System Health
As with all critical network devices, monitoring the overall health of a switch or router is important for keeping
traffic flowing through the network and monitoring the impact to network devices when deploying new
application services.
When the Traffic Analyzer health report is run, the NAM will retrieve vital performance statistics from the
device hosting the NAM and display them. Monitor vital resources such as:
• CPU utilization
• Backplane bandwidth
• Memory usage
• Temperature and fan status
•SysUpTime
• Power supply status
Besides Switch Health, the NAM-1/2 also includes health-based reports covering Switch Information,
Crossbar Switching Fabric, and Ternary Content Addressable Memory.
Also, the NM-NAM also includes health-based reports covering Router Information.
