Measures reported by CtxXcXDCLoadIdxTest

A server’s load index may be the aggregate of:

  • Various computer performance counter based metrics, namely CPU, Memory and Disk Usage
  • Session Count

It is designed to indicate how suitable a XenApp Worker is to receive a new user session. It is the Delivery Controller’s responsibility to calculate the load index based on the aggregate of the normalized load rule indexes generated by the various load rules. As only the Delivery Controller can determine the session load, a server’s overall load index is calculated on the Delivery Controller and not the Virtual Delivery Agent.

Administrators can use the CtxXcXDCLoadIdxTest to periodically evaluate the load on the servers managed by a delivery group. This is imperative to ensure that load is uniformly balanced across the servers. In addition, in times of an overload, this test can help administrators accurately identify which server is overloaded and which resource is the constraint.

Ouputs of the test: One set of results for server OS machine managed by the broker.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total Indicates the load evaluator index of this machine. Percent

By comparing the value of this measure across server OS machines, you can figure out whether or not load is uniformly balanced across all servers.

Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to view the complete details of this machine and to view the CPU, disk, memory, and session load evaluator index of the machine.
Cpu Indicates the CPU load evaluator index of this server OS machine. Percent A high value is indicative of excessive CPU usage by the machine over time.
Memory Indicates the memory load evaluator index of this server OS machine. Percent A high value is indicative of excessive memory usage by the machine over time.
Disk Indicates the disk load evaluator index of this server OS machine. Percent A high value is indicative of excessive disk usage by the machine over time.
Session_count Indicates the session count load evaluator index of this server OS machine. Percent A high value indicates that the machine has been consistently handling many user sessions.
