Activeboard: Devo Relay Monitoring

[ 1 Purpose ] [ 2 Prerequisites ] [ 3 Open Activeboard ] [ 4 Use Activeboard ]

Purpose

The Devo In-House Relay is an application that detects and receives inbound events, applies processing rules to them, and then forwards them over a secure channel using SSL / TLS encryption to Devo Cloud. You can use this Activeboard to monitor the data that the Syslog engine inside the relay (Scoja) reports to Devo. This Activeboard allows you to track:

Summary metrics.
EPS received in the relay.
EPS sent to Devo, Mbps sent and dropped events.
Relay machine resources usage, only if the Devo-monitor agent is installed in the relay host machine.

Data loading takes too long?

Sometimes some widgets take time to upload the data, it is possible to speed up the process by creating aggregation tasks. Refer to the Aggregation tasks article to learn how to do it.
