In multiple Policy Server deployments, the Policy Server Map tab of the Status > Deployment page gives a graphical representation of all of your Policy Server instances.
*
All additional Policy Server instances are shown connected to the central or base Policy Server for your deployment.
*
Each Policy Server is represented by a server tower or appliance icon with markers that describe its Policy Broker connection.
A legend underneath the map explains the icons.
*
Position the mouse over a Policy Server instance to see its full IP address and description, the IP address of the Policy Broker that it is currently connected to, and the Policy Broker mode (standalone, primary, or replica).
Configuration changes can be written to a standalone or primary Policy Broker, but replica Policy Broker instances are read-only.
Under the map, a table lists the IP address, description, Policy Broker IP address, key type, version, and current status of each Policy Server instance.
Click a Policy Server icon in the map or IP address in the table to see a list of the components (like Filtering Service, Log Server, and User Service) associated with the selected Policy Server instance. Note that in some cases, a single component name (like Real-Time Monitor) is used to represent multiple, interdependent services (like RTM Client, RTM Server, and RTM Database).
For each component, the list displays its name, IP address or hostname, version, and status.
The status column displays one of the following icons:
*
A green icon with a check mark indicates that the Policy Server and its associated components are all running.
*
A red icon with an "x" indicates that the Policy Server or at least one of its associated components is stopped.
*
A yellow icon with an exclamation mark indicates that the Control Service instance on the Policy Server machine is not available, so status information is not available for that Policy Server and its associated components.
For administrators with permissions to start and stop component services or demons, the table also includes a start or stop link.
In some cases, a single entry in the list may represent multiple services. In these cases, all of the services that make up the component are started or stopped when the link is clicked.
An additional link offers the option to show all health alerts associated with the selected Policy Server within the Components pop-up window.
