Monitor a Cache from Your Dashboard

Add a cache metric to your dashboard to investigate it in more detail, or to view changes in its size over a recent time period. Perform this procedure when a cache is being emptied too frequently, or requires other investigation.

The time period for which statistics are available depends on how you configured the STATGINT control in your external security manager. You can then see how often the cache is flushed and use this information to balance storage and performance needs.

Follow these steps:

1. Select the dashboard where you want to view the cache metric.
2. Click the cache metric that you want to add and click Add to Dashboard.

   The cache metric appears in the current dashboard.

3. Click and drag the timeline arrows to view the cache metric over a given time period.

You have configured CA Chorus for Security and Compliance Management to monitor cache size. You are prepared for any slowdown in performance when the cache is flushed. You can also balance storage and performance needs by assessing changes in cache use over time.
