Sometimes, you can encounter a predicament where particular features on your Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW) approach their capacity thresholds, resulting in diminished system performance and operational disruptions. Dealing with capacity-related issues can be time-consuming, and unfortunately, these issues tend to come to light only after the limits are breached.

The Capacity Analyzer feature allows monitoring of device resource capacity by tracking metrics usage based on model types. This feature includes a heatmap visualization to display resource consumption rates and locations for each metric. It also enables planning for upgrading to higher capacity firewalls based on specific needs. This proactive approach ensures that you know about potential capacity constraints, allowing you to take preemptive action to safeguard your business operations.
