ADSM Traffic Status Question

[bull3000]

I have 2 firewalls that I manage A 5510 running 7.0(6), adsm v5.0 and a 5505 running 7.2(3), adsm v5.2

The ADSM "Traffic Status" displays on the two firewalls don't seem to be showing the same kind of thing and I'm wondering if there was some kind of change in the 7.2(3)/5.2 combo that I haven't seen described.

The display on the 5510 (running 7.0) seems to make sense. Incoming and outgoing traffic show up on the graph. On the 5505 (running 7.2), All traffic shows up yellow (incoming) and the red line never moves. I know that there is outgoing traffic, as I have monitors on the web server logs that actually show the traffic and amounts that are being pushed out.

Also, the connection count, does the monitor display the current instantaneous connections at this time, or the total number of connections in the last 10 seconds. On the 5505, it seems like the connection count is low if the latter is the case. The former might explain what I see.

Any guidance (or directions to where to read) are appreciated.

It seems that a hard power cycle to the ASA 5505 cured the status display problems.

Still don't know if the connection count is cumulative or instantaneous, but the displays now make much more sense.
