Measures reported by MtaAdminThreadTest

This test reports the performance metrics pertaining to the admin thread executing on a Groupwise Message Transfer Agent (MTA). 

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Thread_status Indicates the status of the admin thread Number If the value is 1, it indicates that the thread is running. If the value is 0, it indicates that the thread is not running. Therefore, start the thread. If the value is –1, it indicates that the status is "unknown". In such a case, restart the MTA.
Msgs_processing_rate The rate at which admin messages were processed by this MTA during the last measurement period Msgs/Sec A high value may be indicative of an excessive load on the admin thread.
Error_msg_rate The rate at which admin message errors were detected by this MTA during the last measurement period Msgs/Sec If this value is high, check the domain DB status.
Msgs_in_queue The number of admin messages waiting to be processed Number If this value is high, check the admin thread status and Msg_processing_rate, and then, act accordingly.
Db_status Indicates the status of the domain database  Number The status indicators are:
  • 1  - Normal

  • 0  - Database error

  • -1 - Unknown

0 indicates a critical database error. The domain database cannot be recovered. Rebuild the domain database using ConsoleOne. The MTA admin thread will not process any more administrative messages until the database status has returned to Normal. If the value is –1, restart the MTA.

Db_recoveries The number of DB recoveries performed during the last measurement period. Number If the frequency of db_recovery is more, it may be indicative of a critical database error.
