Measures reported by YMROperationsTest

One of the reasons why users opt for Microsoft Yammer is that it enables them to quickly and securely share their knowledge/ideas with their peers in the organization. They can like, post, delete messages as well as upload and even delete files from a group created on Microsoft Yammer anywhere through any desktop/device. However, at runtime, if Microsoft Yammer is unable to deliver the high-quality experience it promises, IT administrators will be either forced to hunt for alternatives or discontinue the service of Microsoft Yammer. To avoid such an outcome, administrators should ensure that the guaranteed Yammer service levels are delivered at all times. For this, administrators need to periodically check the time it takes to like messages, post messages, upload and delete files from Microsoft Yammer, isolate bottlenecks proactively, and plug the holes before users complain. The YMROperationsTest test helps administrators in this exercise.

At configured intervals, this test emulates a message post/like, file upload and delete to a group created on Microsoft Yammer 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.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the monitored Microsoft Yammer.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Message_Post_status Indicates whether/not posting a message to a Yammer group 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 message posting status is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.
Message_Post_time Indicates the time taken to post a message to the yammer group. Seconds Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value is indicative of a poor user experience while posting a message to a Yammer group. The reasons for the same should be investigated.
Message_Like_status Indicates whether/not liking a message posted on a Yammer group 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 message liking status is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.
Message_Like_time Indicates the time taken to like a message that was posted on a Yammer group. Seconds Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value is indicative of a poor user experience while the user tries to like a message posted on a Yammer group. The reasons for the same should be investigated.
Message_Delete_status Indicates whether/not deleting a message from a Yammer group 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 message deletion status is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.
Message_Delete_time Indicates the time taken to delete a message from a Yammer group. Seconds Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value is indicative of a poor user experience while the user tries to delete a message from a Yammer group. The reasons for the same should be investigated.
File_Upload_status Indicates whether/not the upload of a file to a Yammer group was successful. Percent 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 status for uploading a file to a group is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.
File_Upload_time Indicates the time taken to upload a file to a Yammer group. Seconds Ideally, the value of this measure should be low. A high value is indicative of a poor user experience while the user tries to delete a message from a Yammer group. The reasons for the same should be investigated.
File_Delete_status Indicates whether/not the deleting of a file from a Yammer group 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 status for deleting a file from a group is indicated using the numeric equivalents only.
File_Delete_time Indicates the time taken to delete a file from a Yammer group. Seconds
