eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by MultiHostNetTest

This test monitors the network connectivity from an external location (e.g., the eG server) to a host system. 

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
avg_packet_loss Indicates the percentage of packets lost during transmission from source to target and back. Percent Packet loss is often caused by network buffer overflows at a network router or by packet corruptions over the network. The detailed diagnosis for this measure provides a listing of routers that are on the path from the external agent to target server, and the delays on each hop. This information can be used to diagnose the hop(s) that could be causing excessive packet loss/delays.
avg_network_avail Indicates whether/not the network connection is available. Percent A value of 100 indicates that the host system is accessible over the network. The value 0 indicates that the URL is inaccessible.
