MSMQ Incoming Multicast Session Test

This test auto-discovers the sessions on the Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) server and for each session, reports the amount of data and count of messages received from multiple destination queues. Using this test, administrators can figure out the session during which maximum number of messages were received and maximum amount of data was received.

Target of the test : A Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) Server

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every session on the MSMQ server monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameters	Description
Test Period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The IP address or host name of the machine where MSMQ has been installed.
Port	The MSMQ port number at which the specified host listens. The default port is 1801.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Incoming multicast data	Indicates the amount of data bytes received during this session from multiple destination queues.	KB	Compare the value of this measure across sessions to identify the session during which maximum amount of data was received from multiple destination queues.
Incoming multicast data rate	Indicates the rate at which data bytes were received during this session from multiple destination queues.	KB/sec
Incoming multicast messages	Indicates the number of messages received during this session from multiple destination queues.	Number	Compare the value of this measure across sessions to identify the session during which maximum number of messages were received from multiple destination queues.
Incoming multicast messages rate	Indicates the rate at which messages were received during this session from multiple destination queues.	Messages/sec
