eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by IfxNetworkIoTest

This test auto-discovers the users on the target Informix database server and periodically reports the read-write activity of each user. Using this test, administrators can easily identify which user is performing resource intensive I/O operations. This way, this test reveals the irregularities in the I/O operations performed by the users and further analyze the real reason behind the abnormally high I/O operations performed by the user.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the each user to the Informix server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Data_reads Indicates the rate at which data was read on the database by this user during the last measurement period. MB/second  
Data_writes Indicates the rate at which data was written on the database by this user during the last measurement period. MB/second  
Read_count Indicates the rate at which the read operations were performed on the database by this user during the last measurement period. Reads/second The detailed diagnosis of this measure will provide the following information:

  • SID of the database server

  • Name of the user

  • Client name of the database server

  • Protocol used by the client

  • Number of read operations performed

  • Amount of data (in MB) read by the user

  • Number of write operations performed

  • Amount of data (in MB) written on the database server

Write_count Indicates the rate at which the write operations were performed on the database by this user during the last measurement period. Writes/second The detailed diagnosis of this measure will provide the following information:

  • SID of the database server

  • Name of the user

  • Client name of the database server

  • Protocol used by the client

  • Number of read operations performed

  • Amount of data (in MB) read by the user

  • Number of write operations performed

  • Amount of data (in MB) written on the database server
