Measures reported by CssOwnerTest

This test monitors the owner activity on the Cisco CSS. An owner is generally the person or company who contracts the Web hosting service to host their Web content and allocate bandwidth as required. Rules are configured on the Cisco CSS for every owner indicating which content accessible by the owner and from where it is to be retrieved.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
LoadBalancer_hit_count Indicates the number of times during this measurement period the owner accessed the load balancer with requests for content. Number This is a good indicator of the load generated by this owner on the Cisco CSS.
Http_redirect_sent_count Indicates the number of HTTP redirects sent for this owner during this measurement period. Number HTTP redirects have long been an option to maintain server stickiness in load-balanced environments. Redirects are very reliable and ensure that an Internet/Intranet client stays on a specific server for the duration of a session. The CSS 11000 allows a network administrator to have the CSS 11000 send the HTTP redirect, which eliminates the need for the Web server administrator to redesign a Web site to accommodate HTTP redirects.
LoadBalance_drops_count Indicates the total number of requests from this owner that were dropped by the load balancer during this measurement period. Number Ideally, this value should be low.
Data_sent Indicates the total number of bytes sent for this owner during this measurement period. Bytes
