The Health Status tab indicates general status of appliance configurations, including which services are currently configured and the operational status of selected services.

A green status indicates Excelerator has not detected any configuration discrepancies.

A yellow status indicates Excelerator might be functioning sub-optimally due to configuration discrepancies.

A red status indicates that the Excelerator configuration might be incomplete or wrong.

Services Configuration: Reports the overall configuration status of all proxy services.

System Time Configuration: Reports the current NTP status.

IP Address Configuration: Reports the status of IP address assignments to network interfaces. Excelerator requires at least one IP address assignment for proper operation.

Gateway Configuration: Reports the status of the next hop gateway configuration. Without proper gateway configuration, the appliance cannot connect to origin Web servers.

DNS Configuration: Reports the status of DNS server configuration and connectivity to configured DNS servers. Without access to a DNS server, proxy services cannot function properly.

Client Accelerator Configuration: Reports the status of the forward and transparent proxy configuration. If browser clients pointing to this appliance as their proxy server have Web browsing problems, check the status here and in Services Tab.

Web Accelerator Configuration: Reports status of the Web server accelerator configurations. If browser clients have problems accessing a site being accelerated by this appliance, check the status of the Web server accelerator service in this section and in Services Tab.

Cluster Configuration: Reports the status of cluster servers and services. Both cluster servers and clustered services need to be configured for achieving fault tolerance through clustering.

Filtering Configuration: Reports the status of filter service configurations. If filtering is enabled and waiting for a rating list to be downloaded, the status indicates that filtering is not active and the health status is yellow (warning).
