Measures reported by DominoDbTest

The DominoDbTest, executed by an internal agent, tracks various statistics pertaining to the Domino database. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Cache_curr_entries Indicates the number of databases currently in the cache. Number Administrators should monitor this measure to see whether it approaches the NSF_DBCACHE_MAXENTRIES setting in NOTES.ini file.  If it does, this indicates that the cache is under pressure.  If this situation occurs frequently, the administrator should increase the setting for NSF_DBCACHE_MAXENTRIES.
Cache_hit_ratio This value indicates the percentage of pages found in the cache without having to read from disk. Percent A high value for this measure indicates that the database cache is working effectively, as most users are opening databases in the cache without having to wait for the usual time required by an initial (non-cache) open.  A low value for this measure indicates that more users are waiting to open a database that is not in the cache. The Administrator can increase the NSF_DBCACHE_MAXENTRIES settings to prevent this situation.
Cache_max_entries The number of databases that the server can currently hold in its cache at a time. Number This measure shows the maximum cache_curr_entries configured for this server.
