The Xlates subcategory includes one accessible blueprint alleged Xlate Utilization.
This blueprint shows the absolute abode translations currently in use on the firewall.
The Perfmon subcategory includes several graphs as follows:
AAA Perfmon Displays the cardinal of authentication, authorization,
and accounting requests beatific to an AAA server.
FixUp Perfmon Displays the cardinal of packets for cartage processed
by the HTTP, FTP, or TCP fixup routines.
Web Perfmon Displays the cardinal of URL requests candy by the
PIX firewall and the cardinal of Websense requests fabricated by the PIX
firewall.
Access Perfmon Displays the absolute cardinal of connections,
TCP connections, UDP connections, and TCP intercepts candy by
the PIX firewall.
Examples of affiliation graphs are included in Figure 9.84.

The graphs characterize Fixup Perfmon,Web Perfmon, Affiliation Perfmon, and
Xlate Perfmon.These graphs can advice firewall administrators accept traffic
trends and accurate I/O through the firewall. In the examples apparent in Figure
9.82, the firewall is active in a no-NAT configuration.This is axiomatic based on
the bulk of cartage in the Xlate Perfmon blueprint (there is none!).
