Using Dashboards to Monitor the ACE System and Virtual Contexts
• VLANs—Total count of VLANs configured and the count of VLANs based on operational status -
Up and Down. A hyperlink enables you to view traffic summary information based on the identified
state (see the “Monitoring Traffic” section on page 14-21). For example, if you click the Up
hyperlink, you will see only the VLAN interfaces that currently have an operational status of Up.
• Port Channels—Total count of port channels configured on the ACE appliance based on their
operational status of Up and Down. A hyperlink enables you to view traffic summary information
based on the identified state (see the “Monitoring Traffic” section on page 14-21). For example, if
you click the Up hyperlink, you will see only the port channels that currently have an operational
status of Up.
• BVIs—Total count of BVI interfaces and the count of BVI interfaces based on their operational
status of Up and Down. A hyperlink enables you to view traffic summary information based on the
identified state (see the “Monitoring Traffic” section on page 14-21). For example, if you click the
Up hyperlink, you will see only the BVI interfaces that currently have an operational status of Up.
• Certificates—Total count of SSL certificates and the count of SSL certificates that are expiring
beyond 30 days, expired, or that are expiring within 30 days. A hyperlink accesses a popup window
for you to view the SSL certificates list based on the selection, displaying the certificate name,
device name, days to expire, expiration date, and the date it was evaluated for you to determine the
days to expire. Certificates are considered expired it their expiration date is within the next day
(rounded down the next day). A hyperlink in the device name allows you to navigate to the
context-based SSL Certificate configuration page (see the “Using SSL Certificates” section on
page 9-6).
Note The Certificates information does not apply to the ACE NPE software version (see the
“Information About the ACE No Payload Encryption Software Version” section on
page 1-2).
This data is collected during discovery as well as during periodic monitoring polling. The timestamp
shown in the status bar indicates a varying poll time; that is, different virtual contexts were polled and
those context had different time stamps. The earliest time stamp of the polled virtual contexts is
displayed in the status bar.
All counts shown in the Device Configuration Summary table are based on the operational status of the
monitored objects listed above.
• Out Of Service—Indicates any status other than In Service (for example, Out Of Service, Failed, or
Disabled).
• Status not available—Indicates that DM was unable to poll the operational status of this object. The
display of this operational status could be due to polling errors or the device was unreachable. Also,
if a poll was recently initiated, this operational status could indicate that DM is in the process of
collecting data.
• Status not supported—Indicates that the device does not have the capability to provide an
operational status of this object. The display of this operational status could be due to missing
SNMP instrumentation on the ACE appliance.
