3.5 System Health Monitoring

3.5.1 Dashboard Real-Time Counters#

The main Dashboard (see Section 2.1) provides an immediate, high-level view of system health through real-time counters. A high number of Offline agents compared to Active agents signals a potential systemic issue requiring administrative attention.

3.5.2 Agent Health Monitoring#

The Monitoring module (see Section 2.11) provides a dedicated Agent tab for detailed honeypot agent health and operational status analysis. Select a specific Guardpot from the dropdown and apply filters via the Search button to view agent-level metrics.

3.5.3 Machine Resource Monitoring#

For G-Hosts and machines in the Guardpot Pool, clicking the Detail button on a machine entry, as described in Section 2.2.6.1, displays comprehensive system information including CPU, Memory, and Disk utilization. Monitor these metrics to ensure host machines have sufficient resources.

3.5.4 Secure Link Connectivity Health#

The Secure Link module (see Section 2.4) monitors connectivity between Guardpot instances. The Network Topology panel in the Graph view displays real-time connection health counters including Healthy, Errors, Running, and Total connections.

3.5.5 Agent Health and Status Reporting#

The Reports module (see Section 2.14) includes a dedicated Agent Health & Status report. This report provides per-agent operational data including status, OS, version, last activity, and attacks handled.
