To view performance statistics for a specific virtual server, such as current connections, packets, and throughput, the administrator must navigate to the Virtual Servers statistics screen. While this screen does not show CPU utilization per virtual server (as CPU is a system-wide resource), it is the designated location within the Configuration Utility for all traffic-related metrics and performance data specific to that virtual server object. This is the most appropriate location to begin investigating the performance of a particular virtual server.

A. This section shows statistics for the virtual IP address object, not the virtual server configuration which includes profiles, pools, and iRules.

B. This provides a high-level, system-wide summary of traffic, lacking the granular detail needed for a single virtual server.

C. This shows CPU usage by system daemons (e.g., tmm, mcpd), not statistics attributable to a specific virtual server object.
