Defining load balancing distribution
You may have several policy engines in your TRITON AP-DATA system. There is one on each TRITON AP-DATA server; there is one on the protector; and if you have TRITON AP-WEB, there is one on the Content Gateway as well.
Policy engines are responsible for analyzing the data flowing through your enterprise, comparing it to policies, and governing remediation action, if any.
At times, a policy engine can become overloaded. The System Health screen can help you assess the impact that traffic is having on performance. Select Main > Status > System Health. Expand the relevant protector and select the policy engine to view. You can see the number of transactions being analyzed and the latency of each policy engine. (See Monitoring system health for details.)
To distribute the processing load between more evenly:
1.
Select Settings > Deployment > System Modules.
2.
Click Load Balancing on the toolbar.
The resulting screen names all the modules, lists all the services being analyzed, and the policy engine doing the work. Click the plus (+) signs to expand the tree and view all available information.
To change the configuration, placing the load on different policy engines, click one or more of the services.

Note 
Forcepoint recommends that you do not distribute the load to the TRITON management server.
