require notification, but this difference only comes into play when network traffic matches or nearly
matches these filters. Firewall rules with logging enabled also consume more memory.
Module Health
The Module Health section of the Monitor page displays the current status of the module that are inside
the chassis of the device. The following information is provided.
TIP
To reduce memory and disk usage, use the LSM to make the following filter
adjustments:
• Reduce the number of IPS filters that use alerts
• Reduce usage of packet trace and e-mail notification on action sets
• Increase aggregation periods for action sets that include alerts
• Use more global filters and fewer filter overrides
• Deactivate filters that do not apply to your network (for example: IIS filters are not
relevant if you only have Apache servers)
• Reset logs from the System Summary page or use the CLI clear log command. The clear
log command will clear all log entries from all log files. For record keeping, you may
want to download existing log files before resetting a log, or configure a remote syslog
server to offload the logs.
• Delete previously installed TOS version images from the System Update page.
• Reduce the number of Firewall rules with logging enabled.
• Reduce the inactivity timeout on Firewall rules. This allows the firewall to discard
inactive sessions more quickly.
