Measures reported by ISAWebProxyTest

The ISAWebProxyTest monitors the performance of the Web proxy service of the ISA Proxy server 2004.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Active_sessions The number of active Web sessions currently connected to the ISA Server Number  
Connect_errors The total number of errors that occurred while connecting Number  
Dns_cache_hit_ratio The percentage of DNS domain names served from the DNS cache Percent  
Reqeusts_rate The rate of requests to the Web Proxy filter Requests/Sec A higher value means that more ISA Proxy server resources will be required to service incoming requests.
Inbound_conns_rate The rate of incoming connections Conns/Sec  
Outbound_conns_rate The rate of outgoing connections Conns/Sec  
Failed_requests_rate The rate of requests that have failed because of some type of error Conns/Sec A high failure rate, in comparison to the rate of incoming requests, will suggest that the ISA Proxy server is having difficulty in coping with all incoming requests. Connection settings for incoming Web requests may be incorrectly configured, or connection bandwidth may be insufficient.
