The Central Management appliance continuously gathers and reports relevant data about IVX cluster utilization and performance. Statistics are collected from each broker, but because the cluster utilization is synchronized between brokers, the utilization is reported for the cluster as a whole.
The following recommended levels of utilization are set by default.
Healthy—The cluster utilization is up to 60% capacity.
Warning—The cluster utilization is from 60% to 85% capacity.
Critical—The cluster utilization is over 85% capacity.
Note
You can change these levels, as described in Changing alert levels.
The Central Management appliance raises alerts and displays messages when the cluster continuously or critically exceeds these limits. Exceeding these limits can cause submissions to be dropped, which can result in reduced malware detection efficacy.
You can also use the utilization data as a tool for future capacity planning.
