Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Failed ticket validations	The rate of unsuccessful STA ticket validation requests.	Validations/Sec	If a ticket is not validated by the STA or the Secure Gateway Service, the measure is increased. More than 5 ticket validations indicate that the client configuration in the Metaframe should be investigated.
Failed access token validations	The total number of unsuccessful access token validations.	Errors/Sec	This counter is incremented if an access token cannot be validated by the Authentication Service or there is an error while the Secure Gateway Service is attempting to validate the access token. More than 3 validation errors interprets that the state of the tickets generated should be verified or the connation between the Client and SecureGateway should be checked.
Successful validations	The rate of validations succeeded	Validations/Sec
Successful cache validations	The rate at which successful access token validations occur in the Secure Gateway Service matching the contents of its cache.	Validations/Sec	The measure is increased when the Secure Gateway Service successfully validates an access token by checking if it has the access token in its cache.
Successful STA validations	The rate at which successful validations occur through Authentication Service in response to access token validation requests from the Secure Gateway Service.	Validations/Sec	The measure is increased when the Authentication Service returns a validation successful message.
