Table 3-8, Server Application Responses Metrics, provides definitions of each field of the Server Application Responses window.

Table 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

Client Network Time is the network time between a client and the NAM

(ms)

switch or router.

 

 

Maximum Client Network Time

In WAAS monitoring, Client Network Time from a WAE client data

(ms)

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).

 

 

Average Server Response Time

Server Response Time is the time it takes an application server (for

(ms)

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

Maximum Server Response

Time (ms)

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.

 

 

Average Total Response Time

Total Response Time is the total amount of time between the client

(ms)

request and when the client receives the first response packet from the

 

server.

Maximum Total Response Time

(ms)

 

 

 

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:
