eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by EgJbServletTest

This test monitors the servlets deployed on the JBoss AS/EAP server and reports the following:

  • The number of incoming requests to each servlet;
  • The time taken to load each servlet;
  • The time taken by each servlet to to process the requests and the rate at which the requests are processed
This way, the administrators can identify the servlet that is handling the maximum number of requests.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Request_count Indicates the number of incoming requests that were handled by this servlet. Number This value is a good indicator on the load of the servlet.
Load_time Indicates the total time taken to load this servlet. Secs A low value is desired for this measure.
Process_time Indicates the time taken to process the incoming requests to this servlet during the last measurement period. Secs If the value taken to process the requests is higher, then it may be due to a request taking too long to be processed, a connection issue where the servlet failed to load, etc.
Req_Processrate Indicates the rate at which the requests were processed by this servlet during the last measurement period. Number/Sec A high value is desired for this measure.
