Measures reported by CtxClientTest

This test measures the connection establishment / tear-down by Citrix clients to the server.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Current_conns The number of TCP connections currently established by clients to the Citrix server Number This measure directly indicates the loading on the Citrix server from clients. Typically one connection is established per active session to the Citrix server. The detailed diagnosis capability, if enabled, lists the clients currently connected to the Citrix server.
New_conns_added The number of new TCP connections initiated by clients to the Citrix server during the last measurement period Number Tracking the new connections over time can provide an indication of when clients login to the Citrix server. A spurt of connections and disconnections may be indicative of sporadic failures of the Citrix server.
Old_conns_removed The number of TCP connections that were removed because the clients may have disconnected from the Citrix server during the last measurement period Number A large number of sudden connection drops may be early warning indicators of problems with the Citrix server.
Avg_conn_duration This measure reports the average duration of connections that are currently established to the Citrix server. The duration of a connection is measured from its start time to the current time. The accuracy of this measurement is limited by the frequency at which this test is run.  Mins This value can provide an indicator of how long clients stay connected to a Citrix server. This information together with the number of simultaneous clients can be useful for capacity planning in Citrix environments (i.e., how to size the Citrix server). The detailed diagnosis capability, if enabled, lists the clients currently connected to the Citrix server.
