Measures reported by ShareFileUDTest
One of the reasons why users opt for ShareFile is that it enables them to quickly and securely upload, download, and even delete files from anywhere through any desktop/device. However, at runtime, if ShareFile is unable to deliver the high-quality experience it promises , IT will be forced to hunt for alternatives. To avoid such an outcome, administrators should make sure that the guaranteed ShareFile service levels are delivered at all times. For this, administrators will have to periodically check the time it takes to upload, download, and delete files from ShareFile, isolate bottlenecks proactively, and plug the holes before users complain. The ShareFileUDTest test helps administrators in this exercise.
At configured intervals, this test emulates a file upload, download, and delete using ShareFile and reports the time it takes to perform each of these operations. This provides administrators with early indicators of problem conditions, thus enabling them to resolve the problem before any irrepairable damage is done.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| upd_avail |
Indicates whether/not the upload was successful. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:
| Measure Value |
Numeric Value |
| Success |
1 |
| Failed |
0 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports the Measure Values discussed in the table above. However, in the graph of this measure, the upload status is indicated using the numeric equivalents only. |
| upd |
Indicates the time it took for this test to upload the file to ShareFile. |
Secs |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value is indicative of a poor upload experience with ShareFile. The reasons for the same should be investigated. |
| down_avail |
Indicates whether/not the download was successful. |
|
The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

If upload fails, then download and delete will fail.
Note:
