Measures reported by IBMDPHttpConnTest
The Datapower Gateway can be configured and managed completely through the XML management interface. When enabled, this interface allows you to send status and configuration requests to the DataPower Gateway. This interface requires the HTTPS protocol for communication. The XML Manager controls the parsing of every message that comes through DataPower. The status data is segmented by XML-Manager and contains information about HTTP connections, such as request and reuse. The HTTP connections established should be closely monitored over time to identify the HTTP connection load pattern on the device so that unusual traffic spikes can be spotted at ease. This can be achieved using the IBMDPHttpConnTest. This test continuously tracks the HTTP connections, and reports the number of HTTP requests, reuses, creates, and returns in the previous 10 seconds, 1 minute, and 10 minutes.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the XML manager in the target device being monitored.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
