Measures reported by BSGResourceTest

There are a few key resource dimensions which establish the health and performance characteristics of the Bluecoat ProxySG appliance. The key resources on the ProxySG appliance include CPU, disk, memory, and network. These resources should be monitored at regular intervals to ensure uninterrupted operation of the ProxySG appliance. This is where the BSGResourceTest test helps!

This test auto-discovers the resources such as disk, CPU, etc, available in the ProxySG appliance and enables administrators to figure out how resource hungry the ProxySG appliance is. For each resource, this test measures current status and the utilization percentage of the resource. If the ProxySG appliance is found to consume the resources excessively, then, this test helps administrators to take remedial actions swiftly to avoid performance lag of the ProxySG appliance.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each resource of the target Bluecoat ProxySG that is being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Resource_status Indicates the current state of this resource.   The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
OK 1
Unavailable 2
Non operational 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current state of the resource. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of a resource using the numeric equivalents only - 0 and 1.

Resource_usage Indicates the utilization percentage of this resource. Percent If the value of this measure is close to 100%, it indicates that the resources in the appliance are depleting fastly. Therefore, administrator may need to allocate additional resources to the appliance.
