Measures reported by X2007PublicStrTest

This test reports statistics pertaining to the public folders of the Information store.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Active_Client_Logons The number of clients that performed any active in the last ten minute interval. Number  
Average_Delivery_Time This measure indicates the average time between the submission of a message to the public folder store and the delivery to all local recipients (recipients on the same server) for the last 10 messages. Secs A non-zero value for this measure indicates a change in user workload.

An abnormally high value for this measure indicates inability to deliver to one or more destinations. One of the possible reasons for this can be a network failure.
Categorization_Count Indicates the number of categorizations that currently exist in the public folder store. Number Categorizations are created when a user creates a filtered view or performs a search. When the information store must maintain an excessive number of categorizations, performance can be affected.
Client_Logons The number of clients currently logged on. Number This measure is a good indicator of the current user activity in the Exchange Server. This information can be used by the administrator for planning the capacity of the mail server.
Msg_Queued_for_Subm The current number of submitted messages which are not yet processed by transport. Number  
Msg_Opens_per_sec This measure indicates the rate at which the requests to open the messages are being submitted to the information store. Msgs/Sec This measure shows the overall picture of user activity. An abnormally high value for this measure may indicate that the Exchange 2000 Server is overloaded.
Msg_Delivered_per_sec Indicates the current number of messages delivered to all recipients. Number  
Messages_Sent_per_sec This measure indicates the rate at which messages are sent to transport by the information store. Msgs/Sec  
Msg_Submitted_per_sec Indicates the rate at which mails are submitted by clients. Msgs/Sec  
Receive_Queue_Size This measure shows the number of messages that are currently in the receiving queue of the information store. Number This measure is usually zero under normal conditions. A non-zero value for this measure indicates that the SMTP service is choking up memory.
Search_Task_Rate Indicates the number of search tasks created per second. Tasks/Sec  
Slow_FindRow_Rate Indicates the rate at which the slower FindRow needs to be used in the mailbox store. Finds/Sec Higher values indicate applications are crawling or searching mailboxes, which is affecting server performance. These include desktop search engines, customer relationship management (CRM), or other third-party applications.
Replication_Rcv_Queue This measure indicates the current number of replication messages waiting to be processed. Number A consistent increase in this value could indicate a bottleneck in the processing of replication messages.
Rpc_Averaged_latency Indicates the average time it takes for a remote procedure call to return results from a Mailbox store, averaged over RPC calls in the last minute. MSec This value should be below .05 seconds at all times. A slowdown in RPC packet processing can adversely impact the user experience.
