Overall SSGs Analytics

The screen lists all of your service scaling groups (SSG) and current summary data about their overall health, BIG-IP device performance and active alerts. Use this screen to create, delete or oversee all of your SSGs.

The Summary Bar provides summary information about your SSGs’ overall health, active alerts and device performance. Click the elements in this area to filter or sort the SSG list.

SSGs with Active Alerts lists the number of SSGs with either active warning or critical alerts. if you have alerts, click on this block to filter the involved SSGs

Below the summary bar, the screen lists all SSGs in either in a grid or tile mode. From here, you can create, delete or monitor your SSGs.

Use one of the screen’s filter and sort settings to isolate information of interest.You can adjust the columns displayed by selecting the gear icon in the filter area.

Click on our SSG SSGClass2, this will redirect us to a dashboard specific to this SSG.

At the top you get another Summary bar related to your SSG: Health, Active Alerts, Alert History, Average CPU Usage, Throughput (IN/OUT)

Under the Summary bar, you can either review the analytics related to this SSG (Analytics tab ) or its Setup (Configuration tab - already reviewed previously)

Use the Analytics tab area to identify data trends and events, or alerts, within a selected time period. To further isolate information, expand the dimensions area to the right of the chart. Select specific entities within each dimension to adjust the data displayed in this tab. To view specific alert details, select an in-line notification, or choose one of the filters below each chart.
