Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

AuditLog entry data

Indicates the current AuditLog entry named-pipe total bytes to read.

Number

Many log entries could cause logging to slowdown.

Pending audit log records

Indicates the number of audit log records that have been read but not yet written to the AuditLog database.

Number

Increasing values could indicate a backup in the AuditLog database or a slowdown in the VLOGGER’s ability to write data to the database. Consider increasing the value of the AuditConsumers parameter of the VLOGGER, which will give the VLOGGER more threads for writing data to the database.
