Cluster Summary Tab

The Cluster summary tab gives you and overview of the overall health of the IDS hosts in the cluster, as well the IDS service and the Logshipper service.

IDSTower installs an agent on the IDS Hosts that tracks key metrics of the Cluster’s hosts and report them every one minute to IDSTower, which is displayed in the Summary Tab.

We will explain every section of the Cluster Page displayed in the below image
