VM Throttling

Integrated appliances using the on-board analysis engine can adjust the maximum number of VMs based on current system load. System health is monitored and the load is dynamically adjusted to achieve the best throughput and detection stability across a wider range of traffic profiles and patterns. The appliance remains maximally loaded but not overloaded.

The CLI is

[no] analysis vm-throttling [auto | disable]

where auto means use the system settings on the appliance (specific to type, model, image and version) and disable means disable throttling regardless of the settings.

This feature is enabled by default.

Prerequisites

  • Dynamic analysis
  • Admin access
  • "auto" system settings (If previously disabled; execute no analysis vm-throttling disable to re-enable.)
