DASHBOARD

RiskFilter enables you to query the status of all distributed RiskFilter servers, protected e-mail servers and LDAP servers via the dashboard on a real-time basis. At the same time, the dashboard presents a summary of statistical results for messages and connections in graphical format.

Note: These statistics are for the past 7 days by default or yesterday, or the past 30 days.

Server status monitoring

•Server – The condition monitoring all processing modules of the SMTPD service, delivery service, policy service, Anti-Virus engine and Anti-Spam engine. When the status of the RiskFilter server is shown as off-line, you can use the Dashboard to find out which service is experiencing problems. Status is also shown as abnormal if the services have been restarted.

•Mail server status – RiskFilter can monitor the status of all protected e-mail servers. You can check that the protected e-mail servers are working normally by the status display (online or unknown). This alerts you to possible protected e-mail server problems.

•LDAP server status – RiskFilter can monitor all servers used for validation and importing of e-mail addresses. You can identify whether the LDAP servers are working normally by the status display (online or unknown).

Click Refresh to refresh the status display.

Note: RiskFilter supports distributed processing systems. You may monitor the status of each server within the distribution system in real time via the RiskFilter Console.
