Measures reported by IIBFTPStatTest

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.

This test auto discovers the FTP servers integrated with the IBM Integration Bus and reports the current load on the FTP server. This way, administrators may be proactively alerted to load processing bottlenecks.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
ftpGetsRate Indicates the rate at which transfers were made from this FTP server to the file system of the Integration node during the last measurement period. Number/sec  
bytesReceivedRate Indicates the rate at which data is received by the file system of the integration node from this FTP server during the last measurement period. Bytes/sec Compare the value of this measure across FTP servers to identify the server that is the most busy in transferring the data.

This measure is a good indicator of the load on the FTP server.

ftpPutsRate Indicates the rate at which transfers were made to this remote server from the file system of the Integration node during the last measurement period. Number/sec  
bytesSentRate Indicates the rate at which data is transferred to this FTP server from the file system of the Integration node during the last measurement period. Bytes/sec Compare the value of this measure across FTP servers to identify the server that is busy receiving data.
