Dashboard

Last updated: Sept 16, 2020

On initial installation of Snare Reflector, and after logging in and working through the wizard, you are presented with an overall picture of the Snare Reflector.  The dashboard displays both total event and disk cache statistics as well as per-Destination statistics.

If the dashboard does not show any destinations then you may add a destination via Settings | Destinations. 



General Statistics


The following dashboard items are available:

  • Destinations - The number of Destinations to which the Snare Reflector is sending events.  
  • Recent Events / Sec - This is the smoothed average number of events received by Snare Reflector per second.
  • Total Bytes / 24 Hrs - This is the total number of bytes received while Snare Reflector has been running. 
  • Total Events / 24 Hrs - This is the total number of events received in the past rolling 24 hour window.
  • Disk Cache % Full - This indicates the number of events stored as a percentage of the total disk cache capacity.  
  • Events On Disk - This indicates the number of events currently stored in the disk cache.
  • Disk Reads EPS - This is the smoothed average number of events being read from the disk cache per second.
  • Recent Dropped EPS - This is the smoothed average number of events discarded due to the disk cache being full.


Per-Destination Queue Statistics

Each Destination displays a chart of its activity over a 24 hour period.



  • Recent EPS Sent - This indicates the smoothed average number of events sent to this destination per second.
  • Recent Bytes/Sec - This indicates the smoothed average number of bytes sent to the destination per second.
  • Rolling 24H Bytes Sent - This indicates the number of bytes sent in the past rolling 24 hour window.
  • Disk Queue % Full - This indicates how full each disk queue file is as a percentage.

Chart

Each chart displays the number of events per second (Y-axis) at the time labelled (X-axis). Note that the times are displayed in local machine time.  If required, UTC may be enabled and configurable from Settings | General | UTC Charts.

License Warnings

When the Snare Reflector is unlicensed it displays an information screen in the dashboard indicating that events are being collected but not reflected. 

As soon as a valid license is added to the Reflector, it will begin sending events to the configured destinations.
