eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by BSGSensorTrap

This test intercepts the sensor failure traps sent by the Blue Coat ProxySG appliance, extracts relevant information related to the failure from the traps, and reports the count of sensor failure events to the eG manager. This information enables administrators to detect the sensor failures if any, understand the nature of these failures, and accordingly decide on the remedial measures.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Blue Coat ProxySG that is to be monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Sensor_failure Indicates the number of times the sensor failure event was triggered during the last measurement period. Number The failure events may be generated due to the failure of sensors of the ProxySG appliance. If the failure events are not rectified within a certain pre-defined timeperiod, the ProxySG appliance will be shutdown automatically.

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero. A high value is an indication of performance degradation of the ProxySG appliance.
