Measures reported by MSSQLAProcessTest

Processing bottlenecks are a deterrent to the peak performance of the SQL Analysis Services server. It is therefore important that administrators capture a processing delay, before users notice and complain. This is where the MSSQLAProcessTest helps!

This test reports the rate at which the SSAS server reads, writes, and converts rows when processing. In the process, the test warns administrators of potential processing bottlenecks, and pinpoints where such delays are more pronounced - when reading? writing? or converting rows?

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

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_rows_read Indicates the total number of rows read during processing. Number  
Total_rows_written Indicates the total number of rows written during processing. Number  
Total_rows_converted Indicates the total number of rows that were converted during processing. Number  
Rows_read Indicates the rate at which rows were read. Reads/Sec In the event of a process slowness, compare the values of these measures to know what is delaying processing.
Rows_written Indicates the rate at which rows were written. Writes/Sec
Rows_converted Indicates the rate at which rows were converted. Number/Sec
