Measures reported by TpSessionTest

This test monitors the Transaction Processor sessions. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Session_count The total number of Voyager sessions on the TP machine Number Ideally, the value of this measure should rise as the load increases, stabilize at target level and decrease when the session timeout period is exceeded. With multiple TPs, look for balanced values. If this is unbalanced, check the routing policy. If this value continues to increase, there could be a problem with garbage collection of expired sessions.
New_sessions The number of new sessions that have been created in this TP in the past minute Number If this measure increases with load, and gains stability once peak load has been reached, it is a good sign. If there is no value, or the value suddenly drops, make sure that the web servers are functioning properly.
Session_gc_count The number of sessions which have been garbage collected on this TP in the past minute. Sessions garbage collected include timed out and signed off sessions. Number  
Session_gc_time The average time spent in session garbage collection on this TP in the past minute Secs  
Session_timed_out The number of sessions that have timed out in the past minute Number
