Measures reported by SPFoundationTest

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation is the essential solution for organizations that need a secure, manageable, web-based collaboration platform. It serves as the basis for SharePoint server and offers out of the box elements such as blogs, wikis, team workspaces, and document libraries, providing users with the ideal way to share information and collaborate within a customized website. In addition, it provides services such as Business Data Connectivity services to integrate external data, basic search services and workflow services.

This test monitors each Sharepoint process and provides numerical statistics regarding the requests handled by each process that is executing on this Sharepoint server. Using this test you can also figure out the details of the native heaps that are used by each Sharepoint process.

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Active_threads Indicates the number of threads that are currently executing in Sharepoint code. Number  
Page_requests_incoming Indicates the number of incoming requests to access a particular page in the last second. Reqs/Sec This measure is a good indicator of the workload on this process.
Processing_requests Indicates the requests that are currently processed on this Sharepoint server. Reqs  
Avg_executing_time Indicates the average time taken for executing the requests that are processed in the last second. Secs Ideally, this value should be low. If the value of this measure increases steadily, then it indicates a performance bottleneck.
Rejected_requests Indicates the number of page requests that were rejected during the last second. Reqs/Sec Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
Responded_requests Indicates the number of page requests that were responded by this Sharepoint process during the last second. Reqs/Sec  
Throttled_requests Indicates the number of page requests that have been throttled by the web application during the last measurement period. Reqs Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero.
Executing_queries Indicates the number of SQL queries that are currently executing on this Sharepoint server. Number  
Avg_query_time Indicates the average time taken by this Sharepoint server to execute the SQL queries. Secs If the time taken to execute a query is high, it indicates that the query is unoptimal or there may be a database slowdown.
Active_native_heaps Indicates the number of native heaps that are currently in use by this Sharepoint process. Number  
Allocated_native_heaps Indicates the number of native heaps that are allocated by this Sharepoint process. Number  
Global_heap_size Indicates the size of the global heaps that are used by this Sharepoint process for cache related activity. MB  
Native_heap_size Indicates the size of the native heaps that are used by all the threads that are being executed by this Sharepoint process. MB
