anchor link System status

 

This section shows the current system status of the SEPPmail Secure E-Mail Gateway.

This should be

 All systems are stable and running.

If important configuration entries are missing, they are displayed in red, as are problems on the system. The latter result from watchdog messages.

 

 

anchor link System

 

Displays the system data of the appliance.

empty

anchor link Note:

Generally, the appliance should not outsource memory. If this is regularly the case, more RAM should be allocated.

Additional information on the licence.

anchor link Last refresh

Displays the time of the last licence count in SEPPmail Secure E-Mail Gateway, that is the licences under Encryption/Signature licenses and Large File Transfer (LFT) licenses calculated as in use.

With the Refresh icon empty, the licence count is started.

anchor link Encryption/Signature licenses

Number of user licences purchased. The number of available user licences is shown in brackets.

 

Furthermore, the licences are displayed in a structured way: The number of users created under Users, the number of these users set to "inactive" (see USER 'USER@DOMAIN.TLD' User Data Encryption settings) and the number of users who have been released for at least three months due to inactivity.

anchor link Large File Transfer (LFT) licenses

Number of user licences purchased for the function Large File Transfer. The number of available user licences is shown in brackets.

 

empty

anchor link Note:

On the hardware appliances from 1000B onwards, internal memory is available for the LFT functionality.

The 500B requires an external USB drive. With virtual appliances, using LFT on the host system requires another hard disk of at least 30 GB to be allocated and the system is to be restarted. Otherwise, the following message appears:

Note: You have LFT licences, however your device has no disk to store files. Please add a USB (or virtual) disk.

empty

anchor link Note:

In particular with new installations, if virus signatures are not yet available, all emails are blocked until they are available.

In this case, the following message appears:

NO VALID SIGNATURES FOUND

Signature update can take up to 15 minutes.

NOTE: If you activated antivirus in 'Mail Processing’ all mails will be rejected until valid signatures are available

If this message does not disappear make sure that the appliance is allowed to make connections on port 80 to the internet or that a http proxy is specified

LinkSignature date

Display of the ClamAV virus signature date

 

anchor link Mail statistics

 

Displays a brief overview of the processed email.

 

Parameters

Description

anchor link Mails processed

Number of all emails transmitted by the system (received, sent).

anchor link Mails processed

(S/MIME)

Number of all emails processed via S/MIME (decrypted, encrypted).

anchor link Mails processed

(OpenPGP)

Number of all emails processed via OpenPGP (decrypted, encrypted).

anchor link Mails processed

(DOMAIN)

Number of all emails processed via Domain encryption (decrypted, encrypted).

anchor link GINA mails

Number of all sent secure webmails via the GINA subsystem.

anchor link Mails currently in queue

Number of all emails in the queue.

 

 

anchor link Disk statistics

 

Shows the utilisation of the individual system partitions.

 

Parameters

Description

anchor link Database

Shows the utilisation of the database volume (/var/ldap.ENCRYPTED) in the system.

In the case of a utilisation of 75%, the display turns red and a watchdog message is displayed.

 

As a separate value, it also shows the utilisation of the allocated DB size.

Reason: With the change from HDB to MDB, a larger file is created than there is actually data in the DB. This means that the utilisation of the DB partition (Partition size) is higher than the actual needs (Allocated DB size).

anchor link Mail queue

Shows the utilisation of email queue volumes (/var/mailqueue) in the system.

In the case of a utilisation of 60%, the display turns red and a watchdog message is displayed.

anchor link Log

Shows the utilisation of the volume of the log files (/var/log) in the system.

In the case of a utilisation of 75%, the display turns red and a watchdog message is displayed.

anchor link Temp

Shows the volume usage for temporary files (/tmp) in the system.

In the case of a utilisation of 90%, the display turns red and a watchdog message is displayed.

anchor link Mail store

Shows the utilisation of the volume for the internal email storage.

 

empty

Note:

The internal email storage is only active in a GINA satellite constellation (see also This is a remote GINA server) and then also visible in the overview.

 

 

 

only with active Large File Transfer (LFT) licenses

anchor link LFT store

Shows the utilisation of the Large File Transfer volume (/var/lfm) in the system.

In the case of a utilisation of ??%, the display turns red and a watchdog message is displayed.

 

 

anchor link Entropy of /dev/urandom

(new in 12.1.9)

 

Shows the result of a number of tests in a data stream.

Further information on this may be available directly from https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/ent/ent.1.en.html.

 

Parameters

Description

anchor link File-bytes

Returns the size of the checked data block.
A data block of approximately one gigabyte per hour is checked. Thus, the display should be approximately equal to 1,000,000,000.

anchor link Entropy

Shows the information density of a file's content, expressed as the number of bits per character.

Based on this value, it is possible, for example, to determine how much a file could be compressed.

anchor link Chi-square

Displays the result of the Chi-square test.

The test provides information about the randomness of data. This is a crucial factor for generating random sequences, for example.

anchor link Mean

Shows the result of the sum of all bytes in a file divided by the file length.

The value also provides information about the randomness of data. If the data is almost random, the value should be around 127.5. If the mean value deviates from this value, the values are constantly high or low.

anchor link Monte-Carlo-Pi

Shows the result of a value calculated from various factors.
The closer the calculated value is to the number PI, the more random the data.

anchor link Serial-Correlation

This valueshows the extentto which each byte in the data stream depends on the previous byte.

The closer the value is to the number "0", the more random the data.
