Measures reported by EndecaPerfTest

The EndecaPerfTest monitors the request servicing capacity of the Endeca Navigation Engine, and reveals how well the engine is able to service search queries.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Throughput The number of search requests successfully completed by the Endeca search engine Number A high value is desired for this measure.
Queue_length_avg The average number of search queries waiting in the queue to be processed by the Endeca Number Ideally, this value of this measure should be low. A high value could indicate a processing bottleneck on the server.
Threads_busy_avg The average number of threads that are busy processing search queries Number This measure is a good indicator of the workload on the server.
Total_processing_time_avg The average time taken by the Endeca to process the search queries Ms Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value indicates that the engine is taking too long a time to process the search queries. Further investigation is required to isolate the root-cause of the processing bottleneck.
Time_in_queue_avg The average time that search queries spent in the queue before being processed by the Endeca server Ms Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value indicates that requests are being processed too slowly by the server, thus forcing requests to remain in the queue for too long a time. The bottleneck should be identified quickly and cleared.
Time_in_dgraph_avg The average time that queries spent in the dgraph Ms  
Time_sending_data_avg The average time spent by the Endeca in sending the result data Ms Whenever a slowdown is noticed in the Endeca, you may want to compare the value of the Time_in_dgraph_avg measure with that of this measure to determine where exactly the query spent too much time - in the dgraph? or in sending the result set?
Records_in_resultset_avg The average number of records found in the resultset of search query responses Number  
Response_size_avg The average size of query response datas Number
