Measures reported by AlcatelModuleTest

The AlcatelModuleTest reports the resource usage of the modules of the Alcatel switch.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Input_Util Indicates the input utilization by this module. %  
Output_Util Indicates the percentage of I/O used by this module. % A high value of this measure indicates high I/O activity on the module. Comparing the value of this measure across modules will enable administrators accurately identify that module on which I/O usage is the maximum.
Cpu_Util Indicates the percentage of CPU used up by this module. % Ideally, this value should be low. A high value is indicative of excessive CPU usage by the module. Comparing the value of this measure across modules will enable administrators accurately identify that module on which CPU usage is unusually high.
Memory_util Indicates the percentage of memory utilized by this module. % Ideally, this value should be low. A high value is indicative of excessive memory usage by the module. Comparing the value of this measure across modules will enable administrators accurately identify the module(s) which is consuming memory excessively.
