monitored.

 

 

Details

The units being measured in the graph. For example, for the memory

 

component, this field index the percentage of total memory being used.

The Memory Usage statistic displays usage averaged over the last refresh period. These values fluctuate fairly frequently. If Memory Usage percentages seem consistently high, check your log for Memory Fault messages.

Note If device health is consistently showing yellow or red warnings about Disk or Memory Usage, but the log does not show any hardware fault messages, your usage is spiking, but is not remaining consistently high.

If Memory Usage percentages are consistently high, you may need to adjust some IPS filter or Firewall Rule settings. Filters that require notification actions require more resources than filters that do not
