# Monitor Microsoft Connected Cache cache node usage

Tracking the status and performance of your MCC cache node is essential to making sure that you're getting the most out of the service.

<!-- Add standard metrics

      Add scenarios for creating custom metrics -->

## Cache node summary

The Cache Node Summary box on your Azure portal 

| Metric | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Healthy nodes | The MCC service will periodically request heartbeat messages from your MCC node to determine if it's functioning as expected. |
| Unhealthy nodes | If the cache node doesn't respond, it is labeled as unhealthy. |
| Max in | The maximum egress (in Mb/sec.) that your node has pulled in at any given time. This statistic isn't dependent on the time filter near the charts. |
| Max out | The minimum egress (in Mb/sec.) that your node has pushed out at any given time. |
| Average in | The average ingress (in Mb/sec.) that your node has pulled in over its lifetime. This statistic isn't dependent on the time filter near the charts. |
| Average out | The average egress (in Mb/sec.) that your node has pushed out over its lifetime. |
| Cache efficiency | The percentage of all requests that your MCC node receives that are ultimately delivered by your MCC node. An effective node is generally expected to have an efficiency >95%. |

## Charts

### Filters

- Will only filter the data shown in the two charts, scalable from 1 hour to 30 days
- Can view data by individual cache nodes or the average of all your active MCC nodes.

### Outbound traffic

- The egress (in Mb/sec) that your MCC node is pushing out at specific time intervals

### Volume by Content Type

- The volume of content that your MCC cache node is distributing, broken down by the hostname used to download said content

## Additional metrics

### Custom metrics

- Navigate to the "Metrics" tab in the left-hand toolbar
- Configure chart as desired using the provided metrics
