MSMQ Outgoing 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 sent to multiple destination queues. Using this test, administrators can figure out the session during which maximum number of messages were sent and maximum amount of data was sent.

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
Outgoing multicast data	Indicates the amount of data bytes sent during this session to multiple destination queues.	KB	Compare the value of this measure across sessions to identify the session during which maximum amount of data was sent to multiple destination queues.
Outgoing multicast data rate	Indicates the rate at which data bytes were sent during this session to multiple destination queues.	KB/sec
Outgoing multicast messages	Indicates the number of messages sent during this session to multiple destination queues.	Number	Compare the value of this measure across sessions to identify the session during which maximum number of messages were sent to multiple destination queues.
Outgoing multicast messages rate	Indicates the rate at which messages were sent during this session to multiple destination queues.	Messages/sec
