The CONTROL > Status Map page summarizes status information of all systems administered by the Barracuda Firewall Control Center. From here you can access all CloudGen Firewall gateways managed by the Control Center.
The Status Map Window
The Status Map window divides systems into the hierarchical structure range, cluster, and box. Expanding a range entry uncovers all clusters belonging to the respective range. Expanding a cluster entry uncovers all firewall boxes belonging to the respective cluster. You can restrict the view to specific boxes or conditions by entering the criteria in the fields on top of the page columns.
Colored icons depict the general state a structural entity is in. Color coding is triggered by the severity IDs of events that have been generated on the boxes. Color coding implies the following:
- Green – The system is in a normal state. Only informational and notice events have been generated.
- Yellow – Warnings have been generated. A check is recommended.
- Red – Security events and errors have been generated. A check is mandatory.
- Blue – A box has been disabled due to probing policies.
- Grey – The system is unavailable and has been disabled in the configuration.
The status summary in each case refers to specific system entities, which are depicted by icons in the title bars of each section. The following icons are available:
- Data – Displays the disk usage (see: Resources Page).
Process – Status of the processes (see: Resources Page).
Yellow Exclamation Mark – Status of the operative-relevant event monitoring (see: How to Configure Event Notifications - Severity tab).
Blue Exclamation Mark – Status of the security-relevant event monitoring (see: How to Configure Event Notifications - Severity tab).
Cog Wheel – Status of the firewalls (see: Services page ).
Green Units Flag – Status of the network (see: Network Page).
License – Validity of certificates/licenses (see: Licenses Page).
Blue Server – Displays status of the box (see: Box Page).
The Configuration Update column shows the current state of the configuration update for this unit:
- Red Dashed – Unknown state.
- Blue – Configuration update active.
- Red – Configuration update error.
- Green – Configuration update completed successfully.
- Grey – Firewall or configuration updates are blocked.
