RDGW RPC HTTP Proxy Test
The RPC HTTP Proxy (also known as RPC over HTTP) is a technology that allows clients to use the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol over HTTP or HTTPS instead of the traditional RPC over TCP/IP. This can be useful in scenarios where a client needs to connect to an internal Exchange server or other Microsoft services through a firewall or proxy without directly exposing internal ports.
This test monitors the RPC HTTP proxy in the RD gateway and reports the rate at which data were transmitted/received. In addition, this tests reports the connections that had failed, thus helping administrators to reason out why and take corrective actions.
Target of the test : Microsoft RD Gateway
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for Microsoft RD Gateway that is currently launched.
Parameters | Description |
---|---|
Test Period |
How often should the test be executed. |
Host |
The nick name of the Microsoft RD Gateway 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 3389. |
Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Data transmitted to RPC proxy |
Indicates the rate at which data were transmitted to RPC proxy. |
MB/Sec |
|
Data received from RPC proxy |
Indicates the rate at which data were received from RPC proxy. |
MB/Sec |
|
Load balancing messages attempted |
Indicates the rate at which the load balancing messages were attempted by the RPC proxy. |
Requests/sec |
Load balancing messages in RD Gateway environments refer to the communications exchanged between the load balancer and the RD Gateway servers to manage the routing of incoming RDP traffic. |
Load balancing messages failed |
Indicates the rate at which the load balancing messages handled by the RPC proxy had failed. |
Requests/sec |
A low value close to 0 is desired. |
Load balancing decisions attempted |
Indicates the rate at which the load balancing decisions were attempted by the RPC proxy. |
Requests/sec |
Load balancing decisions in RD Gateway are made by the load balancer to determine which RD Gateway server should handle a new incoming RDP connection. The goal is to distribute traffic evenly, ensure high availability, and avoid overloading any single server. |
Load balancing decisions failed |
Indicates the rate at which the load balancing decisions handled by the RPC proxy had failed. |
Requests/sec |
A low value close to 0 is desired. |
Connections to back-end server attempted |
Indicates the rate at which the RPC proxy had attempted to establish connections to the back-end server. |
Connections/sec |
|
Connections to back-end server failed |
Indicates the rate at which the connections to the back-end server had failed. |
Connections/sec |
A low value close to 0 is desired. |
Front-end HTTP connections |
Indicates the number of front-end HTTP connections the RPC proxy had established. |
Number |
|
Users connected to back-end server |
Indicates the number of users that were connected to the back-end server. |
Number |
|
RPC/HTTP request rate |
Indicates the rate at which the RPC/HTTP requests were handled by the RPC proxy. |
Requests/sec |
