Measures reported by PSAppTuxSvcTest

An application server is a software process that stores Tuxedo services. A service is an application routine that a client can request. The non-availability of a service to clients will result in the inaccessibility of the corresponding application as well. Using the PSAppTuxSvcTest test, you can continuously track the availability of each service stored by the application server and receive proactive alerts of potential service failures; this way, you can quickly isolate unavailable applications. The test also monitors the request load on each service, points you to the popular applications, and thus enables you to assess the impact of their failure.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Availability Indicates the current availability of this service. Percent If the value of this measure is 100, then it indicates that the server is available. A value of 0 indicates that the service is currently unavailable.
Request_handled_rate Indicates the rate at which the requests were handled by this service during the last measurement period. Req/sec This measure is a clear indicator of the load on the services of the server.

Comparing the value of this measure across services will help you to identify the service that is busy handling the maximum number of requests. This way, you can figure out the applications that are most popular.
