BT Pop3 Adapter Test
The Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) adapter is used to retrieve data from a server that houses POP3 mailboxes into a BizTalk Server by means of the POP3 protocol. The POP3 adapter consists of only one adapter, a receive adapter. This receive adapter controls the receive locations that use the POP3 adapter.
The POP3 receive adapter retrieves e-mail from a specified mailbox on a specified POP3 server. By default, the POP3 receive adapter applies MIME processing to the e-mail messages that it downloads and submits these messages to BizTalk Server as multipart BizTalk messages. The POP3 receive adapter can receive and process e-mail in the following formats:
To monitor the session and message load on the POP3 adapter so that, overload conditions and processing bottlenecks are accurately identified, use the POP3 adapter test.
Target of the test : A BizTalk Server 2010
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each host instance on the BizTalk server being monitored
Parameters | Description |
---|---|
Test period |
This indicates how often should the test be executed. |
Host |
The host for which this test is to be configured. |
Port |
The port at which the host listens to. |
Ispassive |
If this parameter is set to Yes, then it means that, by default, all BizTalk servers being monitored by the eG system are the passive servers of a BizTalk cluster. No alerts will be generated if the servers are not running. Measures will be reported as "Not applicable" by the agent if the servers are not up. |
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Active sessions |
Indicates the number of open POP3 connections that the POP3 adapter on this host instance is currently managing. |
Number |
This is a good indicator of the session load on the adapter. |
Bytes received |
Indicates the total number of bytes downloaded by the POP3 adapter on this host instance from a mail server. |
Bytes |
This is a good indicator of the data load on the adapter. |
Bytes received |
Indicates the rate at which bytes that the POP3 adapter on this host instance downloaded from a mail server. |
Bytes/Sec |
A consistent decrease in this value could indicate a processing bottleneck. |
Messages received |
Indicates the number of messages that the POP3 adapter on this host instance downloaded from the mail server. |
Number |
This is a good indicator of the load on the adapter. |
Messages received |
Indicates the rate at which the POP3 adapter on this host instance downloaded messages from the mail server. |
Msgs/Sec |
A consistent decrease in this value could indicate a processing bottleneck. |
