Executive Summary
When assessing network health and performance it is important to look at many factors that may affect performance and availability. This report is a collection of data gathered from the most important devices within your infrastructure, which contribute to the overall performance and availability of your applications. It illustrates the overall usage of the server environment and the metrics associated with servers - CPU utilization, Swap Utilization and Disk Space Utilization. It also provides an understanding of the utilization of the bandwidth available for network traffic. This report is designed to provide a snapshot of the capacity utilization of the network and help the Management Team plan for the needs of today and the future.
CPU Utilization
CPU Usage (%)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
Mickey Mouse 6.00 77.00 28.75
Mickey Mouse - Network Probe 1.00 99.00 29.60


This report illustrates the overall utilization of the processor capacity of the servers included over the time frame of the report. This is an indication of the overall load of the servers in question. During business operating hours, if the average CPU Utilization is below 30%, the server is operating within acceptable parameters and the server is well matched to the tasks it is assigned. An average CPU Utilization of between 30% and 70% indicates that the machine is quite busy and performance may be impacted during peak operating times. Average CPU Utilization of over 70% indicates the machine is overtaxed on resources and requires an upgrade or reassignment of tasks.
Disk Utilization
Disk Usage (%)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
Mickey Mouse("C:") - Network Probe 47.00 49.00 48.80
Mickey Mouse(C:) - Mickey Mouse 47.00 49.00 48.82
Mickey Mouse("C:") - Network Probe 47.00 49.00 48.80


The amount of disk space available varies widely from server to server, fileservers for home folders require more disk space available than DNS servers. However, disk space as a rule should not exceed 80% utilization on any volume. There is an exception to this, NT4 servers with a 4GB system partition typically run over 90% utilized. This may be acceptable depending on the task of the device and any migration plans in place.
Memory Utilization
Physical Memory Usage (%)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
Mickey Mouse - Mickey Mouse 61.00 74.00 67.17
Mickey Mouse - Mickey Mouse 61.00 74.00 67.23


Virtual Memory Usage (%)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
Mickey Mouse - Mickey Mouse 20.00 39.00 30.00
Mickey Mouse - Mickey Mouse 36.00 47.00 43.15


The utilization of memory can be a difficult resource to interpret. Some applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL Server will use as much physical memory as is available, so when viewing Memory Utilization on these devices, Swap utilization is more indicative of issues. Overall, excessively high utilization of both physical memory and Swap indicates a need for memory upgrades in the servers.
Traffic Utilization
Incoming bytes per second (KBytes/Second)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
firewall(wlan0) - Network Probe 3.58 41.60 22.20
firewall(eth2) - Network Probe 0.12 20.96 0.44
firewall(eth0) - Network Probe 3.00 26.82 4.96
firewall(eth1) - Network Probe 9.99 702.69 44.72


Outgoing bytes per second (KBytes/Second)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
firewall(wlan0) - Network Probe 0.27 87.30 1.16
firewall(eth2) - Network Probe 0.10 276.73 6.25
firewall(eth0) - Network Probe 12.04 734.92 58.17
firewall(eth1) - Network Probe 2.68 27.35 4.50


Total bytes per second (KBytes/Second)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
firewall(wlan0) - Network Probe 3.85 124.03 23.36
firewall(eth2) - Network Probe 0.22 282.84 6.69
firewall(eth0) - Network Probe 15.20 757.73 63.12
firewall(eth1) - Network Probe 12.83 721.73 49.22


Utilization (%)
Device Name Minimum Maximum Average
firewall(wlan0) - Network Probe 0.00 1.00 0.00
firewall(eth2) - Network Probe 0.00 2.00 0.02
firewall(eth0) - Network Probe 0.00 6.00 0.06
firewall(eth1) - Network Probe 0.00 5.00 0.09


The amount of incoming and outgoing Bandwidth being used is a great metric to track and understand. It's specifically helpful on point to point connections which are very expensive and the proper sizing is difficult. An understanding of the utilization will allow management decisions on upsizing the connection, downsizing the connection or re-scheduling tasks such as backup or data synchronization to make most efficient use of the current level.
