System Reports tab
System Reports tab reports on the actual system health of Optinet. This report posts the
CPU and RAM utilization of the device. The report will also post the active connections in
the network as well as requests for Directory Users. Understanding this report will allow
you to schedule maintenance, plan for upgrades, and prevent problems on the network or
with Optinet.
•
Active Users—this report refers to active devices present on the network.
•
CPU Utilization—this report refers to how much of the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Optinet is utilizing.
•
Directory Agent Requests—this report lists how many requests Optinet has sent to
the Directory Agent installed on your directory server. For this report to post
information, Directory Users must be integrated with Optinet. Please see Chapter 7:

Dashboards tab
The Dashboards tab presents two tools that demonstrate traffic and Web request in real
time. These tools are Real Time Monitor (RTM) and Real Time URL Monitor (RTUM).
RTM displays traffic amounts as they happen. This can be helpful in troubleshooting
network problems or resolving bandwidth issues in real time. RTM will post total application
traffic, both upload and download, with a legend representing distinct applications. RTM
parses traffic in three second intervals and display the amounts accordingly.
