Alerts
Alerts	These notify you of several things. For example, an administrator sign-in failure or a series of occurring events over a specified period.

System services
Core Services	The core services' status of your Smoothwall Filter and Firewall, which should always be running, such as the web server or syslog. Core services only have two states, running or error.
Optional Services	The status of any additional services.

Network Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) Table
IP	Shows you details of the network details. Click the interface name to open the Interface details report for that interface.
Type
MAC address
Flags
Interface

Software UTM Updates
Software UTM Updates	Indicates if there are any software updates available.

Tip of the day
Tip of the day	A helpful bit of information that you might find useful.

Numbers of requests processed and blocked by the web filter
Statistic	Shows you details of the requests processed and blocked by the Smoothwall Filter.
Count

Processor
Processor	Shows you how the system is behaving, and you can click the graph to open the System Load Averages report to get historical data about load averages. The load average on the summary report is static. The load average graph shows an abstract representation of the system workload. It's not just a measure of CPU load but rather an abstract that tries to give you a general insight into how well the system is coping with the workload. The load average is an abstract value and uses CPU load, memory load and disk load to create the load average number. This means that a high load does not necessarily mean that the CPU is busy. Often disk load is the main reason for high load average due to web filter logging and reporting database index creation, see our knowledge base article, Understanding the Load Average graph and numbers on a Smoothwall.

Network routing table
Destination	The network destination of the route.
Gateway	The network point that acts as an entrance to another network.
Netmask	The network mask, or netmask, that hides the network part of an IP address so that only the host part of the address remains.
Flags	The routing table status. It indicates the quality of service associated with the route. For example, the U flag indicates that an IP route is up, the G flag indicates that the route is to a gateway, the H flag indicates that the destination is a fully qualified host address, rather than a network.
Metric	Indicates the associated cost of using the indicated route. This is useful for determining the efficiency of a certain route from two points in a network.
Interface	Indicates what locally available interface is responsible for reaching the gateway. Click the name to open the Interface details report for the interface.
