Measures reported by WASCacheTest

The WASCacheTest monitors the cache usage on the WebSphere server.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Client_requests The number of requests for cacheable objects that were generated by applications running on the application server, since the last measurement period Number
 
Explicit_invalidation The number of explicit invalidations since the last measurement period Number  
Hits_on_memory The number of requests for cacheable objects that were served from memory since the last measurement period Number While direct disk reads cause an increase in processing overheads, memory reads are less expensive. Therefore, a high value of this measure is indicative of the good health of the server.
Hits_on_disk The number of requests for cacheable objects that are served from the disk since the last measurement period Number Reading from the disk is more expensive than reading from the cache. Therefore, ideally, this value should be low.
Memory_cache_entry The number of in-memory cache entries since the last measurement period Number  
Max_memory_cache_entry The maximum number of in-memory cache entries Number  
Miss_count The number of requests for cacheable objects that were not served from the cache since the last measurement period Number Ideally, this value should be low.
Remote_creation The number of cache entries that were received from co-operating dynamic caches, since the last measurement period Number  
Remote_hits The number of requests for cacheable objects that were served from other JVMs within the replication domain, since the last measurement period Number  
Timeout_invalidation The number of cache entries that were removed from the memory and disk because of a timeout, since the last measurement period Number
