Measures reported by HttpResponseTest
REST server is the perfect and simple option for backing up and synchronizing your data in a secure way. The REST server performs backend operations using REST backend API via the target URL. The backup and sync operations performed by the target server should be seamless and fast enough to ensure peak performance. If any slowdown is detected due to server/web site unavailability and slow responses from the web site, then the data integrity will become questionable. This will adversely impact the user productivity and experience. Therefore, administrators should continuously track the availability and responsiveness of the server so as to ensure uninterrupted operations. This is what the HttpResponseTest test exactly does!
Using this test, administrators can check the server availability and responsiveness of the REST URL that is being configured for monitoring.
Outputs of the test : One set of results for the REST server being monitored.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Availability |
Indicates whether the web site is available or not. |
Percent |
The value 100% for this measure indicates that the site is available, and the value 0 indicates that it is not. |
| ServerAvailability |
Indicates whether the web server is reachable or not. |
Percent |
The value 100% for this measure indicates that the web server is reachable, and the value 0 indicates that connection to the web server failed. |
| Response_Received |
Indicates the number of responses received from the Rest URL. |
Number |
|
| Response_Code |
Indicates the response code that the server returned when the Rest URL was accessed. |
Number |
Typically, 2xx codes indicate success. The 4xx codes are intended for cases in which the client may have erred, and the 5xx codes for the cases in which the server is aware that it has erred. 3xx codes indicate action to be taken (normally automatically) by the client in order to fulfill the request. |
| Connection_Time |
Indicates the time taken to establish a connection to the web server. |
Milliseconds |
A low value is preferred for this measure. |
| Transfer_Time |
Indicates the time taken for a data transfer between the web site and the web server. |
Milliseconds |
A high value for this measure denotes an issue in data transmission. |
| Total_time |
Indicates the total time taken by the Rest URL to respond. |
Milliseconds |
The value of this measure is should be low. |
