Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
High priority	Indicates the number of SMS status messages replicated to the parent site at high priority by the Status Manager.	Number
Low priority	Indicates the number of SMS status messages replicated to the parent site at low priority by the Status Manager.	Number
Normal priority	Indicates the number of SMS status messages replicated to the parent site at normal priority by the Status Manager.	Number
Report app evt log	Indicates the number of SMS status messages reported by the Status Manager to the Windows NT Application Event Log on the site server.	Number
Database writes	Indicates the number of SMS status messages queued by the Status Manager to be written to the SMS site database.	Number	This number equals the number of status messages actually written to the database, unless Status Manager cannot write to the database (because it is full, for example), in which case the number of queued messages (shown by this counter) will increase even though no messages are being written to the database. (Queued messages are stored as .SQL files in \SMS\Inboxes\Statmgr.box\Retry.) When the database becomes writable again, the queued messages will rapidly be written to it, and this counter will again reflect the actual number of messages written to the database.
