Chapter 3: Basic Spamphibian Gateway Administration
Monitor Pane
While the "Server Info" pane is useful for determining your connection status, version info, build ID, filter overview, and free disk space, it does not provide any detailed or historical data about the messages your Spamphibian Gateway has received, how long it took to scan or process them, or the load on the machine. To view this data, use the "Monitor" pane. To view the "Monitor" pane click on the "Monitor" item under the server in "Servers" view.
The "Monitor" pane
By default, the "Monitor" pane shows the data for all domains. To view the data for a particular domain, use the "Domain" popup located above the graph. Alternatively, you can use the "Domain" menu item under then "View" menu. (Note, not all of the statistics are recorded on a per-domain basis. For example, the "Max SMTP in" and "Busy SMTP in" statistics will only show when you are viewing "All" domains.)
By default, the "Monitor" pane shows the data in 5 minute intervals. To change this value, use the "Graph Interval" popup located above the graph. Alternatively, you can use the "Graph Interval" menu item under the "View" menu. There are several intervals you can choose: 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 12 hours, 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month.
Spamphibian Gateway keeps track of many statistics including the types of messages received, the message scan time, the number of messages received, the CPU usage, the size of the incoming queue, the size of the outgoing queue, the size of the retry queue, and the time to process a message. These statistics are organized into three views: "Filter", "Load" and "Queues".
