You can view the usage and capacity of various categories of manager objects. You can also set alerts to let you easily see when certain thresholds in usage are reached.

This feature is available in manager mode only. To see the usage and capacity of different categories of objects, click one of the following tabs:
  • Networking > Network Overview > Capacity
  • Security > Security Overview > Capacity
  • Inventory > Inventory Overview > Capacity
  • System > System Overview > Capacity

You can also navigate to Plan & Troubleshoot > Consolidated Capacity to see all the object categories on one page.

On each capacity page, for each category of objects, the following information is displayed:
  • Maximum capacity - This value is based on the capacity of a large appliance.
  • Current inventory - The number of objects that have been successfully created or configured. A color-coded bar is displayed to indicate the usage percentage. If usage is below the minimum capacity threshold, the color is green. If usage is at or above the minimum capacity threshold but below the maximum capacity threshold, the color is orange. If usage is at or above the maximum capacity threshold, the color is red.
  • Minimum Capacity Threshold - This is the usage level at which the usage bar mentioned above will show an orange color. You can change this value. The default is 70%.
  • Maximum Capacity Threshold - This is the usage level at which the usage bar mentioned above will show a red color. You can change this value. The default is 100%.

When you change the warning alert or critical alert value, you can click Revert to go back to the last saved value. You can click Reset Values to restore the default values for all the object categories.
