Measures reported by VmgApplicationTest

This test discovers the applications executing on the virtual desktops and reports the availability and resource-usage of each of the desktop applications.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
No_of_processes Indicates the number of instances of this application that is currently executing across all virtual desktops on the target host operating system. Number  
Cpu_utilization Indicates the percentage of physical CPU resources utilized by this application across the guest VMs. Percent A very high value of this measure is a cause for concern, as it indicates excessive CPU usage by a single application. This in turn would cause other desktop applications to contend for limited physical resources, thus degrading the performance of those applications and that of the virtual server as a whole.
Memory_utilization Indicates the percentage of physical memory resources utilized by this application across the guest VMs. Percent A very high value of this measure is a cause for concern, as it indicates excessive memory usage by a single application. This in turn would cause other desktop applications to contend for limited physical memory resources, thus degrading the performance of those applications and that of the virtual server as a whole.
Cpu_used_in_mhz Indicates the physcial CPU (in Mhz) used up by this application. Mhz  
IO_read_bytes Indicates the rate at which this application reads data from the virtual disk. KB/Sec Compare the value of these measures across applications to identify the I/O-intensive application.
IO_write_bytes Indicates the rate at which this application writes data to the virtual disk. KB/Sec
IO_read_operations Indicates the rate at which this application performs read operations. Operations/Sec Compare the value of these measures across applications to identify the I/O-intensive application.
IO_write_operations Indicates the rate at which this application performs write operations. Operations/Sec
Total_iops Indicates the rate at which this application performs I/O operations. Operations/Sec
