Network Traffic - Endpoint Test

This test monitors the incoming and outgoing network traffic through each Dell Wyse thin client.

Target of the test : Dell Wyse Client Group

Agent deploying the test : A remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every Dell Wyse thin client:network interface combination

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The nick name of the Dell Wyse Client Group component for which this test is to be configured.
Port	Refers to the port at which the specified host listens to. By default, this is NULL.
Inside View Using	To obtain the 'inside view' of performance of the Dell Wyse thin clients - i.e., to measure the internal performance of the Dell Wyse thin clients - this test uses a light-weight VM Agent software deployed on each of the Dell Wyse thin clients. The VM Agents collect performance metrics from the Dell Wyse thin clients and communicate the metrics to the eG remote agent using TCP protocol. Accordingly, by default, this parameter is set to eG VM Agent.
Report By User	Since this test runs for an 'Dell Wyse Client Group' component, this flag is set to No by default.
Report Powered OS	Since this test runs for an 'Dell Wyse Client Group' component, this flag is set to Yes by default.
Is Cloud VMs	Since this test runs for an 'Dell Wyse Client Group' component, this flag is set to Yes by default.
Is Full Duplex	By default, this flag is set to Yes, indicating that the incoming and outgoing data traffic is handled in full duplex mode. If the data traffic in your environment is handled in half-duplex mode, set this flag to No.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Incoming traffic	Indicates the rate at which data (including framing characters) is received on a network interface.	Mbps	An abnormally high rate of incoming traffic may require additional analysis.
Outgoing traffic	Represents the rate at which data (including framing characters) is sent on a network interface.	Mbps	An abnormally high rate of outgoing traffic may require additional analysis.
Maximum bandwidth	An estimate of the capacity of a network interface.	Mbps
Bandwidth usage	Indicates the percentage of bandwidth used by a network interface.	Percent	By comparing the bandwidth usage with the maximum bandwidth of an interface, an administrator can determine times when the network interface is overloaded or is being a performance bottleneck.
Output queue length	Indicates the length of the output packet queue (in packets)	Number	If this is longer than 2, delays are being experienced and the bottleneck should be found and eliminated if possible.
Outbound packet errors	The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors	Number	Ideally, number of outbound errors should be 0.
Inbound packet errors	The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.	Number	Ideally, number of inbound errors should be 0.
Outbound packet discards	Indicates the number of error-free outbound packets that were discarded by this network interface during the last measurement period.	Number	Ideally, the value of these measures should be zero. These measures may report a non-zero value when an interface runs short of resources – e.g., NIC buffers.
Inbound packet discards	Indicates the number of error-free inbound packets that were discarded by this network interface during the last measurement period.	Number
