Measures reported by CssCntTest

A content rule is a hierarchical rule set containing individual rules that describe which content (for example, .html files) is accessible by visitors to the Web site, how the content is mirrored, on which server the content resides, and how the CSS should process requests for the content. Each rule set must have an owner.

The CSS uses content rules to determine:

  • Where the content physically resides, whether local or remote
  • Where to direct the request for content (which service or services)
  • Which load balancing method to use
  • This test auto-discovers the content rules configured on a CSS, and reports the current status and usage patterns pertaining to every content rule.

     The measures made by this test are as follows:

    Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
    Cnt_status Indicates the current status of this content rule. Number If the value of this measure is , it indicates that the content rule is enabled. The value 0 on the other hand indicates that the content rule is disabled.
    Cnt_hit_count Indicates the number of user requests during this measurement period that invoked this content rule. Bytes Ideally, the value of this measure should be high.
    Cnt_Drops_count Indicates the number of times the content rule was not able to establish a connection during this measurement period. Number Ideally, this value should be low.
    Cnt_byte_count Indicates the number of bytes of data that passed through this content rule during this measurement period. Number
