SunRay Client Test
This test monitors the connectivity between each SunRay client and the SunRay server, so that the quality of each network link is checked and connection bottlenecks revealed.
Target of the test : A SunRay server
Agent deploying the test : An internal agent
Outputs of the test : One set of results for each client connected to the SunRay server.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Test period |
How often should the test be executed |
Host |
The host for which the test is to be configured. |
Port |
Refers to the port at which SunRay server listens for requests. By default, this is 7010. |
Timeout |
Specify the duration for which this test will wait for a response from the server. The default is 120 seconds. |
Measurement | Description | Measurement Unit | Interpretation |
---|---|---|---|
Packets |
Indicates the number of data packets received by the server from this client during the last measurement period. |
Packets |
|
Dropped packets |
Indicates the number of packets sent by this client that were dropped in transit during the last measurement period. |
Packets |
Ideally, this value should be low. A high value for this measure is indicative of poor network performance. |
Packet traffic |
Indicates the rate at which the server received data packets from this client. |
Packets/Sec |
|
Bandwidth used |
Indicates the bandwidth used by the SunRay server while receiving data packets from this client. |
Kbytes/Sec |
|
Data transferred |
Indicates the data sent by this client to the server during the last measurement period. |
MBytes |
|
Latency |
Indicates the average delay between transmission of a packet to the server from this client. |
Msecs |
Ideally, this value should be very low. A high value, or a consistent increase in the value, indicates the existence of a bottleneck in the network connection leading to the server from this client. |
Delta latency |
Indicates the difference in latency since the previous measurement period. |
Msecs |
Ideally, this value should be 0, or should at least be a very low value. A high value, or a steady increase in the value, indicates that the quality of the network connection between this client and the server is deteriorating. |
Connect time |
Indicates the duration for which this user session remained idle on the server during the last measurement period. |
Secs |
A low value is desired for this measure. A high value could indicate a network problem. |
Idle time |
Indicates the duration for which this user session remained idle on the server during the last measurement period. |
Secs |
Idle sessions are unnecessary resource drainers. You might want to set a low timeout value on the server to ensure that user sessions do not remain idle for too long a time. |
Percent idle time |
Indicates the percentage of time for which this user session was idle. |
