eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by BindSocketTest

This test reports UDP and TCP I/O statistics for every socket type on BIND DNS. The socket types monitored include IPv4, IPv6, FDWatch, and Unix (Domain).

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each socket type supported by the target BIND DNS.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
udp_sock_opened Indicates the number of UDP sockets of this type that are open. Number This measure will not be reported for the FDWatch socket type.
udp_sock_closed Indicates the number of UDP sockets of this type that are closed. Number  
udp_sock_fails Indicates the number of failures of binding UDP sockets of this type. Number  
udp_conn_estab Indicates the number of UDP connections successfully established with sockets of this type. Number  
tcp_sock_opened Indicates the number of TCP sockets of this type that are open. Number This measure will not be reported for the FDWatch socket type.
tcp_sock_closed Indicates the number of TCP sockets of this type that are closed. Number  
tcp_sock_fails Indicates the number of failed connection attempts to TCP sockets of this type. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0.
tcp_conn_estab Indicates the number of TCP connections successfully established with sockets of this type. Number  
tcp_sent_err Indicates the number of errors in TCP send operations of this socket type. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0.
tcp_recv_err Indicates the number of errors in TCP receive operations of this socket type. Number Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0.
