eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by BSGFailOverTrap

This test intercepts the failover failure traps sent by the Blue Coat ProxySG appliance, extracts relevant information related to the failure from the traps, and reports the count of failover failure events to the eG manager. This information enables administrators to detect the failover 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
Fail_over Indicates the number of times the failover failure event was triggered during the last measurement period. Number The failure events may be generated due to the failure of failover of the ProxySG appliance. If the failure events are not rectified within a certain pre-defined timeperiod, the ProxySG appliance will not be able to function continuously and 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.
