Best Practices for ASA 5500 Device Monitoring

[james.bastnagel]

I have looked high and low and am unable to find anything on this topic. I am hoping that somebody here may be able to share some insight into what are considered the best practices for monitoring ASA's--specifically the 5510 with Sec+ License.

My current monitoring application keeps reporting issues with outbound interface buffers being too high, but there are not any performance issues and I believe the thresholds are just set absurdly low.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi James,

You probably won't be able to find any all-encompassing documentation for these types of best practices that cover all scenarios. The better method would be to define exactly what items you'd like to monitor and we can provide some guidance on how to best get that working for you.
