Mixed-mode VPNs—Connect route-based VPNs with policy-based VPNs, giving you
flexibility.
You use the security devices on your network for multiple reasons: to control access to
and from your network, to detect and prevent intrusions, and to record security events
so you can monitor the important activities occurring on your network. You can use NSM
to monitor, log, and report on network activity in real-time to help you understand what
is happening on your network. For example, you can:
View traffic log entries generated by network traffic events, configuration log entries
generated by administrative changes, or create custom views to see specific information
in the Log Viewer.
Create detailed reports from traffic log information in the Report Manager.
Inspect suspicious events by correlating log information in the Log Investigator.
NSM keeps you up-to-date on the health of your network. You can view the following
monitoring statuses on your network:
View critical information about your devices and IDP sensors in the Device Monitor:
Configuration and connection status of your security devices
Individual device details, such as memory usage and active sessions
Device statistics
View the status of each individual VPN tunnel in the VPN Monitor.
View redundant devices status in the NSRP Monitor.
View the status of your IDP clusters in the IDP Cluster Monitor.
View the health of the NSM system itself, including CPU utilization, memory usage,
and swap status in the Server Monitor.
You can view the progress of communication to and from your devices in the Job Manager.
NSM sends commands to managed devices at your request, typically to import, update,
or reboot devices, and view configuration and delta configuration summaries. When you
send a command to a device or group of devices, NSM creates a job for that command
and displays information about that job in the Job Manager module.
Job Manager tracks the progress of the command as it travels to the device and back to
the management system. Each job contains the following:
Name of the command
Date and time the command was sent
