Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Blocking_req_rejects
The number of times in the last measurement period that the server has rejected blocking requests due to insufficient count of free work items
Number
If the number of blocking request rejects is high, you may need to adjust the MaxWorkItem or MinFreeWorkItems server parameters
Permission_errors
The number of times opens on behalf of clients have failed with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED in the last measurement period
Number
Permission errors can occur if any client/user is  randomly attempting to access files, looking
for files that may not have been properly protected.
File_access_denied
The number of times accesses to files opened successfully were denied in the last measurement period
Number This number indicates attempts to access files without proper access authorization.
Internal_server_errors
This value indicates the number of times an internal server error was detected in the last measurement period.
Number
Unexpected errors usually indicate a problem with the server.
Data_rcvd_rate The rate at which the server has received data from the network Kbytes/sec This metric indicates how busy the server is.
Data_xmit_rate The rate at which the server has sent data over the network Kbytes/sec This metric indicates how busy the server is.
Resource_shortage
The number of times STATUS_DATA_NOT_ACCEPTED was  returned to clients in the last measurement period
Number
A resource shortage event occurs when no work item is available or can be allocated to service the incoming request.  If many repeated resource shortage events occur, the  InitWorkItems or MaxWorkItems server parameters might need to be adjusted.
Avg_response_time
Average time taken by the server to respond to client requests
Secs This is a critical measure of server health.
