Edge Nodes Details Page - Overview Tab

The Overview tab displays a consolidated view of the resource and bandwidth utilization for the selected Cloud Connector. This information aids field operators and IT administrators in monitoring system health and identifying resource constraints. The pane includes four primary graphs, each summarized by an interpretation headline.

The Overview Tab includes four graphs as follows:

WAN Bandwidth Usage

This time-series line graph shows in-use WAN bandwidth, visualizing both inbound and outbound traffic rates (in bits per second) for the Cloud Connector over the selected time frame.

• Received Rate (Rx) and Transmitted Rate (Tx) are plotted to help determine current network load and identify periods of high activity.
• The chart title contextualizes the current state. This is useful for assessing if external network connectivity is a limiting factor for the Cloud Connector’s operations.

Top 5 Attached Devices by Bandwidth Usage

This donut chart displays the top 5 LAN devices currently attached to the Cloud Connector, ranked by their bandwidth usage over the selected period.

• Devices are labeled by their onboarded Device name, hostname, or MAC address in that order of preference as available.
• The chart segments show each device’s proportional data usage, and the center totals provide overall received and transmitted traffic for this group.
• The graph title summarizes the key finding (e.g., which device is consuming the most bandwidth).

Top 5 Local Applications by Resource Usage

This bar chart lists the top 5 user applications running on the Cloud Connector, displaying their relative consumption for the selected metric:

• Use the drop-down menu to switch between Memory, CPU Usage, or Network Usage.
• The graph displays the 5 applications with the highest usage in the selected category, alongside percentages for clarity.
• The chart title identifies the most demanding application.

Resource Demand Trend (Storage, CPU, Memory)

This multi-line time series graph tracks utilization of six key resource categories. Each is plotted as a percentage (0–100%) of total capacity over time, helping to identify trends or resource saturation.

• Root User Storage
• Platform User Storage
• GBU User Storage
• ECP User Storage
• CPU Usage
• Memory Usage
• The interpretation headline reflects the system’s overall state, such as whether memory or storage is nearing capacity.

Interpreting the Graph Titles

Each graph headline briefly interprets the data, highlighting any notable loads, constraints, or points of interest for rapid awareness. These tools offer an at-a-glance dashboard for users managing Cloud Connectors in the field, providing actionable insight into system and network performance.

Choosing a time scale for graphs

You can change the period of time for which the graphs and charts are displayed by using the time scale drop down in the upper right side of the screen. The following periods are available:

• Last 30 Minutes
• Last 1 Hour
• Last 24 Hours
• Last 7 Days
• Last 30 Days
