eG Monitoring
 

Measures reported by VmgWinNetTrafficTest

This is an internal test that monitors the incoming and outgoing traffic through each guest of an ESX server/XenServer host/ physical desktop on the cloud.

Outputs of the testOne set of results for every physical/virtual_desktop:network_interface combination

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Incoming_traffic Indicates the rate at which data (including framing characters) is received on a network interface. Mbps An abnormally high rate of incoming traffic may require additional analysis.
Outgoing_traffic Represents the rate at which data (including framing characters) is sent on a network interface. Mbps An abnormally high rate of outgoing traffic may require additional analysis.
Max_bandwidth An estimate of the capacity of a network interface. Mbps  
Bandwidth_usage Indicates the percentage of bandwidth used by a network interface. Percent By comparing the bandwidth usage with the maximum bandwidth of an interface, an administrator can determine times when the network interface is overloaded or is being a performance bottleneck.
Output_queue_length Indicates the length of the output packet queue (in packets). Number If this is longer than 2, delays are being experienced and the bottleneck should be found and eliminated if possible.
Outbound_packet_errors The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors. Number Ideally, number of outbound errors should be 0.
Inbound_packet_errors The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. Number Ideally, number of inbound errors should be 0.
