eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by Sun1DirTest

This test emulates a client accessing a SunOne Directory server to issue a query. Based on the response reported by the server, the availability and responsiveness of the server are measured. The test also reports a number of usage statistics. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Availability Whether a successful response is received from the Directory server in response to the emulated user request. Percent An availability problem can be caused by different factors - e.g., the server process may not be up, a network problem may exist, or there could be a configuration problem with the Directory server.
Response_time Time taken (in seconds) by the server to respond to a request. Secs An increase in response time can be caused by several factors such as a server bottleneck, a configuration problem with the Directory server, a network problem, etc.
Tcp_conn_availabily This measure indicates whether the test managed to establish a TCP connection to the server. Percent While the value 100 indicates that a TCP connection has been successfully established, 0 indicates that the connection attempt has failed.
Bytes_sent_rate The rate of data being transmitted by the server to clients during the last measurement period. KB/Sec  
Entries_sent_rate The rate of entries being transmitted by the server to clients during the last measurement period. KB/Sec  
Active_threads The current number of active threads used for handling requests. Additional threads may also be created by internal server tasks, such as replication, or writing to logs. Number  
Current_conns The number of connections currently in service by the directory server. Number  
Conns_handled_rate Quantifies the workload in terms of connections handled by the directory server per second. Conns/Sec This value directly represents the user workload.
Ops_initiated_rate The rate of operations the server has initiated during the last measurement period. Operations include any client requests for server action, such as searches, adds, and modifies in the directory tree. It is likely that multiple operations will be initiated for each connection. Operations/Sec  
Ops_completed_rate The rate of operations the server has completed during the last measurement period. Operations/Sec  
Outstanding_ops The number of outstanding operations waiting for processing by the Directory server. Number
