Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Packets |
The number of data packets received by the server from this client during the last measurement period |
Packets |
|
| Drop_packets |
The number of packets sent by this client that were dropped in transit during the last measurement period |
Packets |
Ideally, this value should be low. A high value for this measure is indicative of poor network performance. |
| Pct_Drop_Packets |
The percentage of packets sent by this client that were dropped |
Percent |
Ideally, this value should be low. A high value for this measure is indicative of poor network performance, and warrants investigations. If the value of this measure is 100%, it indicates that the network connection to the server is not available. |
| Bytes |
The data sent by this client to the server during the last measurement period |
MBytes |
|
| Packets_sec |
The rate at which the server received data from this client |
Packets/Sec |
|
| Bits_sec |
The bandwidth used by the Sun Ray server while receiving data packets from this client |
Kbytes/Sec |
|
| Latency |
The average delay between transmission of a packet to the server from this client |
MSecs |
Ideally, this value should be very low. A high value, or a consistent increase in the value, indicates the existence of a bottleneck in the network connection leading to the server from this client. |
| Delta_Latency |
The difference in latency since the previous measurement period |
MSecs |
Ideally, this value should be 0, or should at least be a very low value. A high value, or a steady increase in the value, indicates that the quality of the network connection between this client and the server is deteriorating. |
| Connect_Time |
The time taken by this client to connect to the server |
Secs |
A low value is desired for this measure. A high value could indicate a network problem. |
| Idle_Time |
The duration for which this user session remained idle on the server during the last measurement period |
Secs |
Idle sessions are unnecessary resource drainers. You might want to set a low timeout value on the server to ensure that user sessions do not remain idle for too long a time. |
| Pct_Idle_Time |
The percentage of time for which this user session was idle |
Percent |
