Measures reported by LtmPoolMemberTest

This test auto-discovers the members of each load balancing pool and reports the data /packet traffic through each member, the number of active connections and total connections. In addition, this test reports how well the conenctions are used by each member. This way, administrators can figure out how well each pool member handles the load and proactively detect load balancing irregularities, if any.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Avail_status Indicates the current availability state of this member.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Unknown 0
None 1
Available 2
Currently not available 3
Offline 4
Unlicensed 5

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the availability state of this member. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the Numeric values only.
Activity_status Indicates the current activity state of this member.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
None 0
Enabled 1
Disabled 2
Disabledbyparent 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the activity state of this member. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the Numeric values only.
Data_transmitted Indicates the rate at which data is transmitted from this member during the last measurement period. MB/Sec Comparing the value of these measures across the pool members will help you identify the pool member that is handling maximum traffic.
Data_received Indicates the rate at which data is received in this member during the last measurement period. MB/Sec
Pkts_transmitted Indicates the rate at which packets were transmitted from this member during the last measurement period. Packets/Sec Compare the value of these measures across the pool members to identify the pool member that is experiencing the maximum traffic.
Pkts_received Indicates the rate at which packets were received in this member during the last measurement period. Packets/Sec
Active_conns Indicates the number of connections that are currently active in this member. Number  
Total_conns Indicates the total number of connections established on this member since the restart of the traffic manager. Number  
Connection_rate Indicates the rate at which connections were established during the last measurement period. Conns/Sec  
Conns_usage Indicates the percentage of connections that were used by this member. Percent  
Max_conns Indicates the maximum number of connections that were established on this member since the restart of the traffic manager. Number  
Total_requests Indicates the rate at which the requests were processed by this member. Requests/Sec This measure is a good indicator of the workload on the member.

Comparing the value of this measure across members will help you determine whether all the requests have been processed or not. Request processing bottlenecks if any, can thus be isolated and resolved.
