Trouble-shooting virtual circuits and policies
If you are unsure whether traffic is being processed properly by the virtual circuit or the policies within your virtual circuit,
use real time monitoring to determine if traffic is hitting the virtual circuit as you expect.
1.
On the
Real Time Conversations
screen.
2.
Select
Show Policies
checkbox at the top of the screen to group the conversations by virtual circuit and policy.
3. Look at the traffic falling under your virtual circuit to decide if the correct traffic is in there.
4.
If traffic that you expected is not there, look in other virtual circuit groups to find the traffic.
5. If traffic is falling into the wrong virtual circuit, check the definition of the affected virtual circuits and ensure the most
specific virtual circuit is higher in the policy tree.
Monitoring reductions in real time
The Realtime Reductions monitor shows reduction by application during the last 5 minutes. This report answers
questions such as:
Am I getting the reduction, freeing the network capacity I expect?
The monitor filter shows inbound application traffic, outbound application traffic, or bi-directional traffic.
The amount of data on the LAN-side and WAN-side of the appliance is shown along with the reduction ratio during the
previous 5 minute sliding window.
You can set the chart to refresh frequently, infrequently, or not at all. Each refresh shows 5 minutes of data ending on the
most recent 10 second boundary. That is, if it refreshes at 9:38:17, the chart will show data from 9:33:10 - 9:38:10.
NOTE
This report is only shown when there are two or more Exinda Appliances.

To access this report, go to Monitor > Real Time > Reduction .
The reduction ratio calculation:
Reduction Ratio = (Data Transfer Size Before Exinda - Data Transfer Size After
Exinda) / Data Transfer Size Before Exinda
Reduction Ratio = LAN Data - WAN Data / LAN Data
