Monitoring Proxy Cache Realtime Activity

To display the Proxy Cache Monitor window and view proxy cache activity information, complete the following steps:

  1. In NetWare Administrator, click the Server object representing the Novell BorderManager 3.7 server.

  2. Select Novell BorderManager 3.7 from the Tools menu.

  3. Click Proxy Cache > select Monitor Realtime Activity from the Object menu.

    The Proxy Cache Monitor window displays, providing the following information about proxy activity:

    • Sites Cached---Number of proxy sites currently in the cache.
    • Bytes Cached---Number of bytes cached on the proxy server.
    • Bytes Transferred---Number of bytes transferred to the proxy server.
    • Cache Misses---Number of times the cache was unable to serve a client request.
    • Cache Hits---Number of times the cache was able to serve a client request.
    • Hostname---Name of the Web server, including the name of the service (HTTP, for example) and the DNS domain name of the server.
    • Connections---Number of TCP connections required for a direct connection to the host server. Because Proxy Services has cached the site, this number represents the number of connections the proxy cache has saved its clients.
    • Bytes from Cache---Number of bytes transferred from the cache.
    • Bytes from Host---Number of bytes transferred from the host to the cache.
    • Bytes from Neighbors---Number of bytes transferred from the nearest neighbors to the cache.
