eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by AtcReqTest

This test monitors the requests placed with the authentication service. The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Active_requests The number of requests that are actively executing Number  
Current_requests The total number of requests upon the service Number  
Current_signoff_requests The number of sign off requests that are currently being executed Number  
Current_signon_requests The number of sign on requests that are currently being executed Number Occassional spikes in this value are OK, as long as it is able to recover and this value returns to the normal level. However, a consistent increase in this value should be investigated, as it indicates a bottleneck elsewhere in the system (typically, the host or the database).
Avg_request_wait_time The average time for which the requests that began active execution in the past second had to wait Secs  
Signon_execution_time The average time it took to execute signon requests which completed in the past minute. This time includes time authenticating against backend host and updating some of the user information Secs  
Signon_requests The total number of signon requests received since the last measurement period Number  
Signoff_requests The total number of signoff requests received since the last measurement period Number  
Waiting_requests The number of requests that are waiting to begin active execution Number  
Timed_out_requests The number of requests that timed out in the past second while waiting to become active Number
