| Current_requests |
The number of requests executing in this VLB instance. A request consists of a call to the TP to execute but does not include CreateSession or DeleteSession Calls. It does include successful and failed calls. |
Number |
A sudden increase or a spike in this value is acceptable, but watch for any value that is consistently high. A consistently high or increasing value of this metric is an indicator of a problem. This value should correlate with the value of the Request_execution_time measure. |
| Create_session_calls |
The total number of CreateSession calls processed by all VLB's on this computer during the last measurement period. This includes both successful and failed calls. |
Number |
|
| Create_session_failures |
The total number of failed Create Session calls by all VLB's during the last measurement period. "Failures" means an external error like an RPC network error. |
Number |
Watch for any increase in this value over time. |
| Execute_failures |
The total number of failed Execute calls by all VLBs on this computer during the last measurement period. This value does not include Create/DeleteSession. |
Number |
A very high value indicates a host server overload. |
| Request_count |
The total number of requests processed by all VLBs on this computer during the last measurement period. This value does not inlcude Create/Delete session. |
Number |
|
| Request_execution_time |
The time it took to execute requests which completed in the past minute |
Secs |
After peak load this value should be stable, but watch for any value that is consistently high and increasing numbers after peak load. This value should correlate with the value of the Current_requests measure. |
