Chapter 1: About This Guide
Overview
PeerApp UBView is a web monitoring application for Standalone, Grid-Ready and Grid configura-
tions. Using graphs and statistics, the PeerApp UBView intuitive user-friendly interface enables
you to monitor your HTTP and P2P caching performance.
PeerApp UBView provides an immediate presentation of the system overall operational perfor-
mance, logical and cache statuses, and information regarding configuration, storage and interface.
This PeerApp UBView Users Guide is written for both the Standalone, Grid-Ready and Grid user
with references towards the each on respectively

PeerApp - 5.7 UBView Guide 1

Chapter 1: About This Guide Terminology
Terminology
Terms and concepts that apply to PeerApp UBView are described below:
Term Description
Bytes Hit Ratio The number of bytes of cached out traffic divided by the sum of the
number of bytes of not cached out traffic and cached traffic. For
example, a 60% bytes hit ratio means that 60% of the overall band-
width came from the cache and 40% came from the world.
Cache In A connection where the object requested by a subscriber does not

exist in the cache (creates a miss), and the requested incoming
data from the world is stored in the cache.
Cache Out A connection where the object requested by a subscriber exists in

the cache (creates a hit. See Hit), and the request is served from
the cache as outgoing traffic to the subscriber.
Cache Productivity The total cached out traffic divided by the total cached in traffic.
This information is available for all protocols.
Clear The status of a subscriber request when the requested file segment
does not exist in the cache. Subsequently, this object is either
cached in or forwarded.
CMDB Miss The status of a subscriber request when the requested file segment
does not exist in the cache due to an unexpected deletion or corrup-
tion.
Data A connection where P2P or HTTP file segments are transferred.
Data Non-Data Ratio The ratio of data to non-data. The average Data Non-Data Ratio is
between 1% and 10%.
Downstream Objects transmitted from the world to the subscriber. Also called
W2I.
Forward The process of forwarding an object directly to its requesting

subscriber without caching it. This is applied to an object that does
not yet exist in the cache. At this stage, it is only listed in the cache,
according to the platform's predefined license rules (see Verify), and
will only be cached upon future request.
Hit The status of an ISP subscriber request when the requested file
segment exists in the cache. Subsequently, this object is cached out.
Hit Miss Ratio The number of hits divided by the number of misses.
I2W Upstream data flowing from the ISP to the world.
Incoming Downstream and upstream objects transmitted from the redirector

into the cache server. Each incoming object is either cached in,
cached out, forwarded or blocked.
Non-Data A connection through which P2P clients communicate with each

other but do not transfer P2P file segments. For example, P2P
clients may communicate the details of the file segments and the
uploader queue number, but do not transfer the file segments.

Chapter 1: About This Guide Terminology
Term Description
Outgoing Downstream and upstream objects transmitted out from the redi-
rector. Each outgoing object was either, cached in, cached out, or
forwarded.
Request Hit Ratio The first time a new session arrives in the cache, it is labeled as
cache out, cache in, or forward. The request hit ratio represents the
number of cache out sessions divided by the number non-cache out
sessions. That is, the request hit ratio measures the percentage of
requests delivered from cache versus the world.
Upstream Objects transmitted from the subscriber to the world. Also called
I2W.
Verify A predefined set of license dependent rules determining the caching

parameters of an object.
World The World Wide Web (WWW).
W2I Downstream data flowing from the world to the subscriber.

Monitoring the System Status

The System Status indicator monitors your platform system status. Using colors, this indicator
shows the global status of the entire system: cache engines and storage controllers.
The System status is automatically updated upon a system state change.
To View the System Status
On the UBView pane located on the left, view the System Status indicator.
One of four possible colors and statuses are displayed, as described in the table below.
System Status
Status Color Description
Green All of the following system components are working as expected:

System Status is Up: System status means all cache engine
servers are enabled.
Storage Status: Storage is operational.
Cache server - Service is up and running.
Storage - All storage controllers are up and running.
Yellow Redundancy degrading - meaning the redundant server is not up.

This status is valid only when N+1 feature is configured.
Orange The degraded status - If less then N Cache Engines are active or,
if one or more of the controllers are down or, if the SmartFilter
license (or any part of the product) expired, its status is down-
graded to a downgraded status.
Red The disabled status in engaged when all cache engines are
down.

Chapter 2: Getting Started Viewing Graphs
Viewing Graphs
The UBView includes graphs with the following additional enhancements:

Hovering: By hovering over a specific value point in the line, that numerical value appears to
the left of the Focal Point Legend.
Dragging: By dragging the time line right or left, you can adjust the specific time for viewing
a numerical value.
Zooming: Using the icons located above the graph allows the user to zoom-in or zoom-out, as
per user choice. The Zoom drop-down box allows the user to zoom in day, week, month or
year mode.
Show All/Hide All/Hide Filtered/Show Filtered: Allows the user to select (or hide or filter) a
Focal Point Legend row in the graph or to set the default.
Export: Click the Export button, the specific graph view is captured,
Click Download and save the graph as a file.
Note: When a graph contains several lines that cannot be aggregated to a graph (i.e.
Status > CPU Utilization, Statistics > Bandwidth > BHR, or HTTP Services > BHR),
the graph displays only the top 5 lines based on the maximum value of each line.
IMPORTANT! In order to enable or disable the enhanced graphs, see Settings.

Show/Hide Archive: If you delete any policy, category, timeplan or HTTP Service, the policy
is not actually deleted, but it becomes an archive. Deleted (or archived) policies become read
only and grayed out.
Rules
The rules consist of the following two types,
Default Rules: This type of rule is the same for each configuration. It cannot be viewed or edited
within the user interface. The default rule provides a "white list" for web caching and has
predefined lists of field extensions (URL matches, jpg, gif, css, etc.)and devices (USER_AGENT,
matches, Firefox, MSIE, Chrome, etc.)
Created Rules: Creating rules can be very complex. In order to alleviate this complexity, we try to
group certain categories with properties and parameters together into one group (where applicable).
The Rule tab displays all the rules together in a scrollable format. Each rule is displayed in a single
row.
This section covers the following subjects:

Editing Rules on page 82
Adding Rules on page 84
Note: Long rule names are shown in a truncated form and whole names are shown in a
hint.
Note: In each configuration UBView uses a special default rule. This rule defines poli-
cies which are applied by default.
To open the Rules tab

Click Policy Manager
2 From the Menu Bar,
Click the Rules tab.
The Rules list and the Current Configuration appear.
The Rules are situated in the middle pane and the Configuration is situated on the right pane, the
rules are divided into seven columns (simple view) or sixteen columns (extended view):
Selecting (shown with a box) a rule signifies that the Rule can be edited
ID: An identifying number
Info: A simple description of the rule
Timeplan: Displays the Timeplan, allowing the user to add, delete or edit that Timeplan.

Policy: Specifies which kind of service receives priority, the time of day, and what part of the
IP.
Active: The user can enable or disable each rules by selecting or de-selecting the rule check
box
Actions: Moves the rule up or down on the list, click the up or down key, respectively.
Policy page, Rules tab

When defining a Rule, the category definition can include more than one category type. If this is the
case, the rule matching of traffic includes asserting one or more of the criteria of each category
type, and containing all the category types defined within the rule.
For example:
ascx OR asmx OR asp
And
video.facebook OR megavideo OR Sourceforge.net
And
Safari OR iTunes OR Firefox
Policy is 150 MBps
Explanation:
If the traffic matches (ascx OR asmx OR asp)
And (video.facebook OR megavideo OR Sourceforge.net) And (Safari OR iTunes OR Firefox),
Click OK (150 MBps)
