Description of the monitoring values

The table below shows all the monitoring values output with the option @a. You can instead specify a list of any of the monitoring values shown in the table.

You can use the openFT Monitor to display the monitoring values for openFT operation. You call the openFT Monitor by means of the ftmonitor command.

Note for Windows systems:

You can output the listed monitoring values via the Windows Performance Monitor, see section "Outputting monitoring values using the Windows Performance Monitor".

The first two letters of the name indicate the data object that the monitoring value belongs to:

• Th = Throughput

• Du = Duration

• St = State

The second component of the name indicates the performance indicator, e.g. Netb for net bytes. In the case of monitoring values for the Throughput or Duration data object, the last 3 letters of the name indicate the types of requests from which the monitoring value originates, e.g.

• Ttl = FT Total

• Snd = FT Send requests

• Rcv = FT Receive requests

• Txt = Transfer of text files

• Bin = Transfer of binary files

• Out = FT Outbound

• Inb = FT Inbound

If monitoring is deactivated for all partners (ftmodo -monp=), only the following values are populated:

Status: StCLim, StCAct, StRqLim, StRqAct, StOftr, StFtmr, StFtpr, StTrcr

All the other values are set to 0.

¹⁾Output only if @a is specified.

²⁾Maximum value of the monitoring interval (= time elapsed since the last time the monitoring values were queried or since the start of monitoring).

³⁾Average value of the monitoring interval (= time elapsed since the last time the monitoring values were queried or since the start of monitoring). Format: n.mm, where n is an integer and mm are to be interpreted as decimal places.

⁴⁾If the reference value is reduced in live operation, it is possible for the value output to lie above 100 (%) temporarily.

Outputting monitoring values using the Windows Performance Monitor

Before you can output the monitoring values via the Windows Performance Monitor, you must first configure the Windows Performance Monitor accordingly, see section on recording monitoring values in the manual "openFT (Unix and Windows systems) - Installation and Operation".

The monitoring values that are output using the Windows Performance Monitor are sometimes scaled differently:

• All the specifications in the table that output the Number of bytes per second (ThNetbTtl to ThDiskBin) are displayed in millions of bytes per second in the Windows Performance Monitor, i.e. 1 byte/sec corresponds to the value 0.000001.

• The value for StRqLim (maximum request number) is displayed in units of 1000 in the Windows Performance Monitor, i.e. StRqLim=1 corresponds to the value 0.001.

Explanation of output:

The default output format begins with a header containing the following specifications:

• Name of the openFT instance and selected data format (raw or formatted)

• Monitoring start time and partner and request selection

• Current timestamp

This is followed by the list of default values.
