Response Time
Table 3-8, Server Application Responses Metrics, provides definitions of each field of the Server
Application Responses window.
Server Application Transactions
The Server Application Transaction window displays when you click Analyze > Response Time >
Detailed Views > Server Application Transactions.
The Server Application Transactions window provides a summary of the server application transaction
response times (ART) per server application displaying the server IP address, application used, and
minimum, average, and maximum response times for the following:
• Application Response Time
• Data Transfer Time
• Retransmit Time
• Round Trip Time
Tab l e 3-8 Server Application Responses Metrics
Field Description
Client Site Name of the client site.
Server Site Name of the server site.
Data Source Name of the data source
VLAN VLAN
Server Name or IP address of the server
Application Application currently running
Number of Clients Total number of clients
Number of Responses Total number of responses
Average Client Network Time
(ms)
Client Network Time is the network time between a client and the NAM
switch or router.
In WAAS monitoring, Client Network Time from a WAE client data
source represents the network RTT between the client and its edge
WAE, while Client Network Time from the WAE server data source
represents the WAN RTT (between the edge and core WAEs).
Maximum Client Network Time
(ms)
Average Server Response Time
(ms)
Server Response Time is the time it takes an application server (for
example, a web server) to respond to a request. This is the server "think
time," which is the time between the client request arriving at the server
and the first response packet being returned by the server.
Increases in the server response time usually indicate problems with
application and/or server resources, such as the CPU, Memory, Disk, or
I/O.
Maximum Server Response
Time (ms)
Average Total Response Time
(ms)
Total Response Time is the total amount of time between the client
request and when the client receives the first response packet from the
server.
