SonicOS Enhanced 4.0 Administrator Guide
The fields you enter values into are combined into a search string with a logical AND. For
example, if you enter values for Source IP and Destination IP, the search string will look for
connections matching:
Source IP AND Destination IP
Check the Group box next to any two or more criteria to combine them with a logical OR. For
example, if you enter values for Source IP, Destination IP, and Protocol, and check Group
next to Source IP and Destination IP, the search string will look for connections matching:
(Source IP OR Destination IP) AND Protocol
Click Apply Filter to apply the filter immediately to the Active Connections Monitor table.
Click Reset Filters to clear the filter and display the unfiltered results again.
You can export the list of active connections to a file. Click Export Results, and select if you
want the results exported to a plain text file, or a Comma Separated Value (CSV) file for
importing to a spreadsheet, reporting tool, or database. If you are prompted to Open or Save
the file, select Save. Then enter a filename and path and click OK.
CPU Monitor
The CPU Monitor diagnostic tool shows real-time CPU utilization in second, minute, hour, and
day intervals (historical data does not persist across reboots).
Note High CPU utilization is normal during Web-management page rendering, and while saving
preferences to flash. Utilization by these tasks is an indication that available resources are
being efficiently used rather than sitting idle. Traffic handling and other critical, performance-
oriented and system tasks are always prioritized by the scheduler, and never experience
starvation.
