eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by EgServletInfoTest

Java servlets are the building blocks of the eG Enterprise system. These servlets are used by the eG manager to receive and respond to Web clients across HTTP. The poor responsiveness of one/more servlets can hence significantly impact the performance of the eG manager. Therefore, if administrators notice a slowdown with the eG manager, they can use this test to know if any servlet has contributed to the delay and if so, which one.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Request_count Indicates the number of requests handled by this servlet. Number This is a good indicator of the load on the servlet.
Avg_response_time Indicates the time taken by this servlet to respond to requests. Secs A high value is indicative of the poor responsiveness of a servlet. Compare the value of this measure across servlets to identify the least responsive servlet.
Insert_count Indicates the number of insert queries that were executed by this servlet during the last measurement period. Number  
Avg_insert_time Indicates the time taken by this servlet to respond to insert queries during the last measurement period. Secs Compare this value across the servlets to identify the servlet that is slow in response.
Update_count Indicates the number of updates that were handled by this servlet during the last measurement period. Number  
Avg_update_time Indicates the time taken by this servlet to update the requests during the last measurement period. Secs A high value of this measure is indicative of poor responsiveness of the servlet which implies that too many agents are reporting to the eG Manager thus leading to the overload of the eG Manager. Compare this value across the servlets to identify the servlet that is slow in response.
