Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Farm availability	Indicates the availability of the ZDC.	Percent	The availability is 100% when the server is responding to a request and 0% when it is not. Availability problems may be caused by a misconfiguration / malfunctioning of the server, or if the server has not been started.
Response time	Indicates the time taken by the ZDC to respond to a user query	Secs	A sudden increase in response time is indicative of a bottleneck at the server.
Number of zones in the farm	Indicates the number of zones in the farm.	Number	Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names of the zones.
Number of XenApp servers in the farm	Indicates the number of XenApp servers in the farm.	Number	Use the detailed diagnosis of this measure to know the names and IP addresses of the servers in the farm and the zones to which the servers belong.
