I would suggest monitoring the following:

Number of total sessions
Session Ramp rate
CPU (Flow and task)
Interface stats
Policy drops/screen drops
Temperatures

Depending on the model (higher end boxes) you also might want to monitor the
'get asic d' command. Traffic types greatly impact the capacity of these
boxes.

I hope this helps.
