How to Read a Gauge
Gauges become active when end users access URLs/ports
included in that gauge. Activity is depicted by the position of
the dial within one of three sections in the gauge—green,
yellow, or red—and by the gauge's score.
The score will always reflect activity from the most recent
past number of specified minutes set up in the Timespan,
unless gauge settings were manually changed and saved,
at which point the gauge is reset.
If the threat for a gauge is currently low or medium, the
score displays in white text.
The image to the right shows a URL gauge
with its score displayed in white text and the
dial positioned in the green section of the
gauge, indicating there is no immediate threat
for the library categories in this gauge group.
If the threat level for a gauge is high (exceeding 66 percent
of the ceiling established for a gauge), the score displays in
red text with a flashing yellow triangle containing a red
exclamation point. However, if the score drops below 66
percent within the Timespan set up for the gauge, the text
changes from red to solid white again.
The image to the right shows a URL gauge
that has exceeded its threshold limit. The
source of the threat can be investigated by
drilling down into the gauge. It may be that
one or more library categories within the
gauge currently have a high score, and that one or more
end users are responsible for this threat.
For bandwidth gauges, if the total byte score reaches the
threshold limit, the score displays in red text and the triangle
flashes.
