Metrics Available on the Status Page 

The following metrics are included on the report page:


CategoryMetric Description
Connectivity StatusRelay Tunnel StatusReports on whether the appliance can establish a tunnel to the Relay Server on UDP port 443.
Relay Sync StatusReports on whether the appliance is successfully syncing data to/from the Relay Server.
DNS StatusReports on whether the appliance is successfully able to communicate with the configured DNS server and resolve the Relay Server Hostname.
Interface StatusInterface NameThe name of the interface being referenced. Each interface represents a port on the appliance. To learn more about cabling your appliance and the ports, see the configuration guide for your appliance.
Operational StateWhether or not the interface is physically connected and operating as intended. This metric can be set to “UP” or “DOWN”.
IP AddressThe IP address assigned to the interface.
Prefix LengthThe prefix length for the interface’s configured subnet mask.
MAC AddressThe MAC address of the interface.
Traffic StatusInterface NameThe name of the interface being referenced. Each interface represents a port or combination of ports on the appliance. To learn more about cabling your appliance and the ports, see the configuration guide for your appliance.
ActiveReports on whether the interface is receiving traffic. This can be set to “TRUE” or “FALSE” depending on whether the appliance is detecting incoming traffic for that interface.
Traffic QualityThe appliance will take a small snapshot of the incoming traffic being sent to that interface and determine whether it's appropriate for proper analysis of your environment. This can be set to "OK", "Could be OK", or "Bad".
We want visibility on the individual hosts in your network connecting externally.

This determination is based on:
- The percentage of Public<>Private IP connections,
- Seeing both responses and requests (not unidirectional traffic),
   - Seeing a sufficient number of individual hosts (Private IPs) in the traffic sample.
Traffic SummaryA summary of how the Traffic Quality was determined.
Total FramesThe total amount of packets analyzed in the traffic snapshot.
Public<>Private Traffic (%)The percentage of traffic in the snapshot that came from Private IPs (potential hosts in your network) communicating with Public IPs (potentially external to your network).
Unknown Traffic (%)The percentage of traffic in the snapshot that did not match the profile for any of the other categories.
Unidirectional Traffic (%)The percentage of traffic in the snapshot that was unidirectional or one-sided.
Unique Private IPsHow many unique Private IPs (potential hosts in your network) that were detected in the snapshot.
Unique Public IPsHow many unique Public IPs (potentially external to your network) that were detected in the snapshot.
