Monitoring the Cluster

You can monitor the cluster in the management center and at the threat defense CLI.

  • Cluster Status dialog box, which is available from the Devices > Device Management > More (more icon) icon or from the Devices > Device Management > Cluster page > General area > Cluster Live Status link.

    Cluster Status
    Cluster Status

    The Control node has a graphic indicator identifying its role.

    Cluster member Status includes the following states:

    • In Sync.—The node is registered with the management center.

    • Pending Registration—The node is part of the cluster, but has not yet registered with the management center. If a node fails to register, you can retry registration by clicking Reconcile All.

    • Clustering is disabled—The node is registered with the management center, but is an inactive member of the cluster. The clustering configuration remains intact if you intend to later re-enable it, or you can delete the node from the cluster.

    • Joining cluster...—The node is joining the cluster on the chassis, but has not completed joining. After it joins, it will register with the management center.

    For each node, you can view the Summary or the History.

  • System (system gear icon) > Tasks page.

    The Tasks page shows updates of the Cluster Registration task as each node registers.

  • Devices > Device Management > cluster_name.

    When you expand the cluster on the devices listing page, you can see all member nodes, including the control node shown with its role next to the IP address. For nodes that are still registering, you can see the loading icon.

  • show cluster {access-list [acl_name] | conn [count] | cpu [usage] | history | interface-mode | memory | resource usage | service-policy | traffic | xlate count}

    To view aggregated data for the entire cluster or other information, use the show cluster command.

  • show cluster info [auto-join | clients | conn-distribution | flow-mobility counters | goid [options] | health | incompatible-config | loadbalance | old-members | packet-distribution | trace [options] | transport { asp | cp}]

    To view cluster information, use the show cluster info command.
