Measures reported by AppVolConStatusTest

The 24x7 availability of the VMware App Volumes Manager is imperative to ensure that users have uninterrupted access to the AppStacks, Writable Volumes desktops/data and other critical computing resources. A VMware App Volumes Manager might be rendered unavailable owing to many reasons - e.g., an internal configuration error, the non-availability of the VMware App Volumes Manager's web interface, etc. While the knowledge of the failure of a VMware App Volumes Manager is valuable to an administrator, knowing what caused the failure can alone help the administrator quickly resolve the issue and restore the VMware App Volumes Manager to normalcy.

This test instantly informs administrators of the non-availability (if any) of the VMware App Volumes Manager, reports the response code received for the requests, and also intimates them of any probable slowdown in the responsiveness of the server.

Outputs of the test :One set of results for each AppStack on the target VMware App Volumes Manager being monitored.

Descriptor:AppStack

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Availabilty Indicates whether the VMware App Volumes Manager is available or not. Percent

Availability failures could be caused by several factors such as the server process(es) being down, the server being misconfigured, a network failure, etc.

Temporary unavailability may also occur if the server is overloaded. Availability is determined based on the response code returned by the server. A response code between 200 to 300 indicates that the server is available.
Response_time Indicates the time taken by the VMware App Volumes Manager to respond to the HTTP / HTTPS requests received. Seconds

The value 100% for this measure indicates that the target VMware App Volumes Manager is available, and the value 0 indicates that it is not.

If the value of this measure consistently increases, it indicates that the performance of the target VMware App Volumes Manager is gradually deteriorating. Ideally, the value of this measure should be low.
Response_code Indicates the response code returned by the HTTP / HTTPS request. Number The possible values for this measure and what they represent are detailed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
200 The API request was successful and received a response.
201 The API request was successful and a new resource has been created as a result.
400 The API request was malformed and could not be processed.
401 You have no access and/or are not authorized.
403 You are authorized but do not have the privileges for this API.
404 The URL was not found.
405 The called method is not allowed or is not supported.
408 The request timed out (20 seconds maximum).
500 The API request was received but there was a server error.
503 Service unavailable at this time or too early to process.
508 HTTP other than 1.1 not supported.
