Measures reported by MSSQLISPacStsTest

Where multiple packages are running, it is often difficult for administrators to track the status of the individual packages and quickly identify packages that failed and those that stopped running abruptly. Now, with the help of MSSQLISPacStsTest test, administrators can easily track package status, promptly identify problematic packages, and troubleshoot package failures/slowness before users notice.

This test monitors the packages that are running on SSIS and alerts administrators if any package fails or stops abruptly. Packages that are pending processing are also brought to the attention of administrators, as such processes are indicative of a processing bottleneck. Detailed diagnostics reported by the test reveal which package is in which state of execution presently, thus pointing administrators to the problematic packages and greatly shortening troubleshooting cycles.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
totalPackageCount Indicates the total number of packages on the SQL Integration server. Number  
createdPackageCount Indicates the number of packages that have been created currently. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which packages have been created.
runningPackageCount Indicates the number of packages that are running currently. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which packages are running. The start time and end time of each package is also provided as part of detailed metrics. Use the time metrics to identify packages that have been running for an unduly long time. It is extremely important to stop such executions to allow new instances to kick off at the next scheduled interval.
cancelledPackageCount Indicates the number of packages for which execution was cancelled currently. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which packages were cancelled.
failedPackageCount Indicates the number of packages for which execution has currently failed. Number Ideally, this measure should report the value 0. If a non-zero value is reported, then use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know which packages failed during execution.
pendingPackageCount Indicates the number of packages that are currently awaiting execution. Number A consistent increase in the value of this measure could indicate slowness in package execution. To know which packages are executing slowly, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure.
unexpectedlyEndedPacCount Indicates the number of packages for which execution ended abruptly/unexpectedly. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know for which packages execution ended unexpectedly.
succeededPackageCount Indicates the number of packages that successfully executed all their tasks. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to identify the successful packages.
stopppingPackageCount Indicates the number of packages that have stopped running. Number Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to identify the stopping packages.
completedPackageCount Indicates the number of packages that have completed execution. Number To know which packages have completed execution, use the detailed diagnosis of this measure.
