Metrics

Metrics are parameters that the management console measures against a specific application on a specific server and network over a 5-minute reporting period. The management console also records the number of observations seen during the 5-minute period with the average value of the metric.

The management console reports the following metrics:

• Byte Volumes
• Connection Setup Time
• Data Rate (in bits/second) (to and from server); by packet (to and from server)
• Data Volume (in bytes) (to and from server); by packet (to and from server)
• Packet Volumes
• Percentile Throughput
• Composite Rate Per User
• Retransmission Delay
• TCP/IP Sessions - Complete
• TCP/IP Sessions - Open
• TCP/IP Sessions - Expired
• TCP/IP Session Times
• Users
• User Goodput

You cannot set thresholds for these metrics and the management console does not create incidents relative to these metrics. The metrics for which you can set thresholds are called relative metrics. The management console also reports on relative metrics.
