A Security/Policy sentry is useful for detecting undesirable policy issues such as
remote access to client networks, Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Instant Messaging (IM) or
other misuse applications, or inappropriate use of business applications.
Threshold
A Threshold sentry monitors your deployment for activity that exceeds the
configured threshold of the sentry. STRM monitors relevant network objects and
identifies whenever a threshold is exceeded. Thresholds can be based on any
data collected by STRM, not just packet count or bandwidth. For example, if you
create a sentry indicating that no more than 220 clients can log into the server
between 8 am and 5 pm, an alert generates if the 221st client attempts to login.
A Threshold sentry is useful for monitoring utilized bandwidth, monitoring above
noise for specific activity on your network, or monitoring for device failure.
Custom
You can create a custom sentry to your network has specific monitoring
requirements. A custom sentry can monitor for any combination of properties you
customer requires.
