Field	Description
Alert if service connections increased by (Multiplier)	Enables service connections monitoring by entering a multiplier. For example, a value of 2 will create an alert when the service connections increased by 200% in one minute (based on 5 min. average). The alert email message is sent to the email account specified in the System Monitor. Warning: In a load-balanced system, these alerts do not function correctly and it is recommended that you do not use them. Note: The values are not evaluated within the first 30 minutes after the appropriate service start/restart.
Alert if service data transfer increased by (Multiplier)	Enables service data transferred monitoring by entering a multiplier. For example, if you enter 3, you will be alerted after a 300% increase in the amount of data transferred by a particular service. (Use only integer numbers.) The alert email message is sent to the email account specified in theSystem Monitor. Warning: In a load-balanced system, these alerts do not function correctly and it is recommended that you do not use them. Note: The values are not evaluated within the first 30 minutes after the appropriate service start / restart.
Server thread cache	The thread cache specifies the maximum number of threads that can be reused for new client connections. Each new connection that is accepted by the server is given a separate execution thread. In order to improve performance, server sockets store these threads in a cache rather than freeing them when the connection is closed. New connections can then reuse threads from the cache, rather than requiring the server to create a new thread every time a connection is accepted. Optimal setting is a number of threads based on average connections. Warning: It is not recommended to change the defaults values unless you have a specific reason to do so.
Maximum number of incoming connections	The maximum number of simultaneous connections from remote servers. You can limit the flow of incoming connections with this option.
Maximum number of outgoing connections	You can limit the flow of outgoing connection with this option. Consider using this limit if your server's CPU usage is too high. Note: This is only active for the SMTP, POP3, IMAP and FTP services.
Maximum transfer bandwidth (kB/sec)	You can restrict the maximum speed (in kilobytes per second) which can be used for particular service. This is useful if you have a slow connection and you want to leave bandwidth available for other services. A value of "0" means no restriction is applied. Note: This limit is not applied to trusted IP's.
