Oracle SNMP Server

The ServerStats Oracle SNMP client gathers performance statistics from the
Oracle Enterprise Manager Intelligent Agent. The Oracle Intelligent
Agent uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The agent
exposes an extensive set of statistics through SNMP. The ServerStats Oracle
SNMP client reports on statistics relating to I/O, load, and query activity.
You must configure Oracle SNMP support before starting the Intelligent
Agent. Note that all configuration files for the following steps are located
in the $ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer directory.
This section provides basic instructions for configuring Oracle SNMP
access. Additional documentation for the Oracle Enterprise Manager
Intelligent Agent is located on the Oracle Documentation CD in the
Server section (see section 4-19 of the Oracle8 Installation Guide). The
installation documentation for the specific platforms describe how to start
the agent on Windows NT and UNIX.
15
Setting Up Servers
Configure Master Agent

In the CONFIG.master file, make the following change:
Search for the line beginning with MANAGER.
Change the ipaddr field, coded as 130.35.10.210, to the hostname or
IP address of the Oracle server to monitor using ServerStats.
You can also make other changes to the CONFIG.master file, as
documented within the file.
Configure the Encapsulator

Add the following line to the snmpd.conf file:
trap hostname_or_IP_address
where hostname_or_IP_address represents the hostname or IP

address of the Oracle server to monitor using ServerStats.
In the CONFIG.encap file, you can optionally modify the port number,
which is set to 161 in the default file. If you modify the port number, you
must also modify the port number for NEW_SNMPD_PORT in the
start_peer script.
NEW_SNMPD_PORT is the port on which the snmpd agent (the native
Solaris 2.x SNMP agent) listens. Make sure this is the same port as
specified in the CONFIG.encap file. NEW_TRAPD_PORT is the PEER
encapsulator port to which the snmpd agent sends traps.
NEW_SNMPD_PORT and NEW_TRAPD_PORT in the start_peer script must
have different port numbers. You may also modify the NEW_TRAPD_PORT
port number.
Verify the start_peer Script

The start_peer script contains a line like the following:
SNMPD = snmpd_executable_path
If the snmpd executable on your system is not in the location indicated by

the start_peer script, edit snmpd_executable_path to indicate the
correct location of the snmpd executable.
16
Setting Up Servers
Start the SNMP Components

Perform the following steps to start the SNMP components:
Verify that the SNMP components, master_peer, encap_peer, and
snmpd, are not running:
$ ps -aef | grep peer
$ ps -aef | grep snmp
If any of the components are running, log in as the root user and use the
kill command to terminate the processes before proceeding.
As the root user, run the start_peer script to start the PEER master
agent, PEER encapsulator, and native Solaris 2.x SNMP agent:
# cd $ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer
# ./start_peer -a
Warning: If you do not have the native Solaris 2.x SNMP agent on your
system, you must not use the PEER encapsulator. To start the master agent
only, run start_peer -m.
BroadVision RSH Server on Solaris

The ServerStats BroadVision RSH Monitor uses the RSH protocol to
execute BroadVision shell commands via an RSH server.
This section provides basic instructions for configuring BroadVision RSH
access. Additional documentation for the RSH service is located in the
man pages for rshd and rhosts.
The RSH server is installed and enabled by default on all Solaris
machines. However, an administrator or user must configure the RSH
access control parameters to allow incoming connections from the
ServerStats remote monitoring client. This can be done on a system-wide
level through the /etc/hosts.equiv file, or on an individual basis with
the ~/.rhosts file, as follows:
/etc/hosts.equiv
System trusted hosts and users
~/.rhosts
Users trusted hosts and users
The /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts files contain the remote

authentication database for rlogin(1), rsh(1), rcp(1), and
17
Setting Up Servers
rcmd(3N). /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts specify remote hosts and
users that are considered trusted. Trusted users are allowed to access the
BroadVision server without supplying a password. The machine running
ServerStats must be defined as a trusted user to be able to monitor
BroadVision statistics.
Important: The /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts files bypass the
standard password-based user authentication mechanism. To maintain

system security, care must be taken in creating and maintaining these files.
See the man pages for rshd and rhosts for more information about
trusted remote hosts and users.
Setting Up ServerStats Access

To set up access to the RSH service, edit the /etc/hosts.equiv or
.rhosts file and add the machine running ServerStats. The file should
contain the following type of entry for the machine running ServerStats:
hostname [username]
Hostnames must be the official name of the host, not one of its nicknames.
The remote authentication procedure (the library routine ruserok())
first checks the /etc/hosts.equiv file and then checks the .rhosts
file in the home directory of the local user who is requesting access.
The form:
hostname
may be used in both the /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts files. This

form indicates that users from the named host are trusted and may access
the system with the same user name as they have on ServerStats system.
The form:
hostname username
may be used in individual .rhosts files to allow remote users to access the
system as a different local user. The named user from the named host can
access the system. If this form is used in the /etc/hosts.equiv file, the
named remote user will be allowed to access the system as any local user.
18
Setting Up Servers
Security Issues and Packet Filtering

RSH activity (including plain-text password transmissions) used for
ServerStats monitoring should be confined to trusted areas, such as a local

network. ServerStats monitoring from a remote network is not
recommended for security reasons.
Packet filtering can ensure that requests from untrusted networks or
nodes will not reach the RSH server. Solaris does not include native
support for packet filtering (as there is on Windows NT, *BSD, and
Linux). However, there are commercial and freeware packet-filtering
packages available for use on Solaris. You can also use commercial
firewall products for advanced packet filtering and security management.
BroadVision RSH Server on Windows NT

The ServerStats BroadVision RSH Monitor uses the RSH protocol to
execute BroadVision shell commands via an RSH server.
This section provides basic instructions for configuring BroadVision RSH
access. Additional documentation for the RSH service is available in the
Windows NT Server Resource Kit documentation.
The Microsoft RSH service must be installed and enabled. This service is
available from the Windows NT Server Resource Kit (Supplement 2).
The installation consists of copying files into the system directory, editing
the access control list, starting up the RSH service, and making sure that
the service starts automatically in the future.
Installing RSH Service

To install the RSH service, do the following:
Copy Rshsetup.exe, Rshsvc.exe, and Rshsvc.dll to the
%Systemroot%\System32 folder.
Run the following command from the command prompt:
rshsetup %systemroot%\system32\rshsvc.exe %systemroot%\
system32\rshsvc.dll
19
Setting Up Servers
Setting Up ServerStats Access

To set up access to the RSH service, create or edit the .rhosts file in the
%Systemroot%\System32 folder\Drivers\Etc folder of the
Windows NT system running BroadVision.
The .rhosts file should contain the following type of entry for the
machine running ServerStats:
clientname username1 [username2 username3]
Where:
clientname is the name of the machine running ServerStats.
username1, etc. are the names of users who are granted access to the
Remote Shell service.
The entry should be on one line:

The RSH service returns an Access denied message if clientname and
usernames are not specified in the .rhosts file.
Starting the RSH Service

To start the Remote Shell Service, run the following command at the
command prompt:
net start rshsvc
Stopping the RSH Service

To stop the Remote Shell Service, run the following command at the
command prompt:
net stop rshsvc
Apache Web Server

The ServerStats Apache Web Server client gathers performance statistics from
the mod_status module and ExtendedStatus directive of the Apache
HTTP Server. ServerStats supports Apache versions 1.3.2 and higher.
You must enable the status module and turn on the extended status
directive on the Apache server before ServerStats can retrieve status
information from the server.
20
Setting Up Servers
This section provides basic instructions for enabling the status module and
turning on the extended status directive on the Apache server. Additional
information about the mod_status module and the ExtendedStatus
directive is located in the Apache HTTP Server documentation in
http://apacheServer/manual/mod/mod_status.html.
Enabling Status Support

To enable status reports from the foo.com domain, add this code to your
access.conf configuration file
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .foo.com
</Location>
mod_status only works when you are running Apache in standalone
mode and not inetd mode. Apache does not recommend inetd mode.
(See http://apacheServer/manual/mod/core.html#servertype).
Turning On the Extended Status Directive

ServerStats requires the Apache Extended Status directive to be on. To
turn on the Extended Status directive, add the line:
ExtendedStatus On
to one of the following files: httpd.conf, srm.conf, or access.conf.

None of these files should contain the directive ExtendedStatus Off.

Chapter 3
Setting Up the ServerStats Client

The ServerStats client is where you monitor statistics coming from the
servers or systems you specify as data sources. Setting up the ServerStats
client includes specifying the servers or systems to use as data sources and
the specific counter objects and counters to monitor.
The ServerStats client must have remote user access to the servers or
systems being used as data sources. The previous section explains the
server-side requirements for ServerStats remote access.
The following sections explain how to use configuration files, add servers
and systems as data sources, and select the counters to monitor.
Using Configuration Files

ServerStats lets you maintain multiple configurations of servers, systems,
and counters in different configuration files. Configuration files store a
particular set of ServerStats settings for monitoring server statistics. The
files store the following:
E Configured data sources
E Selected counters from each data source
E Data source and counter properties
E Alarm settings
E Scripts
The following sections explain how to create and use configuration files
and how to configure data sources and counters.
23
Creating a New Configuration File

Selecting File New Configuration opens a dialog box for specifying the
workspace and file name for storing the ServerStats configuration
information. The dialog box has the following options:
The options are as follows:

Select Project Workspace the workspace in which to create the new
configuration file. Select the workspace from the list of available

workspaces. You use e-Tester to create workspaces.
Enter Configuration Name the name of the file to store the ServerStats
configuration information. Enter the filename to use and click OK.
ServerStats uses the filename default if no file name is specified.

When you create a new configuration, ServerStats clears any currently
loaded configuration. Configuration information (data sources, counters,
alarm settings, etc.) is automatically saved to the new configuration file.
24
Opening an Existing Configuration

Selecting File Open Configuration opens a dialog box for opening an
existing configuration file that has previously been set up to monitor
server statistics. The dialog box has the following options:

Select Project Workspace the workspace from which to retrieve the

Select Configuration the configuration file to open. The list of
configuration files in the Select Configuration box changes based upon

the selected workspace. Select a file and click OK.
ServerStats loads the configuration into the counter view pane,
automatically connects to the data sources, and starts retrieving statistics
for the counters that have been set up for the configuration.
Saving a Configuration to a New File

ServerStats automatically saves configuration information (data sources,
counters, alarm settings, and scripts) to the current configuration file. You
can save an existing configuration to a new configuration file and
workspace. This lets you use the configuration from an existing project as
the baseline for a new projects configuration.
Chapter 3: Setting Up the ServerStats Client
25
Selecting File Save Save Configuration As opens a dialog box for

saving the currently loaded configuration file to a new file and optionally a
different workspace. The dialog box has the following options:

configuration information. Enter the filename to use and click OK.
ServerStats uses the filename default if no filename is specified.
Closing a Configuration
Selecting File Close Configuration clears the current configuration from
the counter view pane and stops all ServerStats monitoring activity.
ServerStats automatically saves configuration information (data sources,
counters, alarm settings, and scripts) to configuration files as you set up
ServerStats. You do not need to save configuration files before closing them.

Monitoring Statistics

Data Source Data describes the name and type of counter.
E Machine the name of the server or workstation on which the counter
is located.
E Object the name of the counter object.

E Instance the instance of the counter.
E Counter the counter name.
Alarm specifies the alarm settings for the counter.
E Log when selected, the counter values are written to the ServerStats log.
E Beep when selected, ServerStats beeps if the counter value is outside
of the range specified in Min and Max.
E Script when selected, ServerStats executes the code in the Script view
if the counter value is outside of the range specified in Min and Max.
E Min specifies the minimum range value for issuing an alarm for a counter.
E Max specifies the maximum range value for issuing an alarm for a counter.
E Points specifies the number of polling intervals that the value must be
outside of the Min/Max range before issuing an alarm.
e-Reporter enables or disables logging counter values to the e-Reporter
database.
E Save data for reporting when selected, the counter values are saved to
the e-Reporter database for post-session analysis.
ServerStats provides four ways to monitor the counter data received from
a server, as follows:
E Gauges runtime indicators that show the current counter values
being returned from the server.
E Charts visually track counter values over a period of time in a graph.
67
E Log track counter values, error messages, and alarms over time in the
log pane and a text file.
E Scripts provide a mechanism for responding to alarms that occur
while monitoring a counter. You can use scripts for logging events, or
executing a program.
About Counter Names

Once you configure counters from a Data Source, ServerStats creates a
folder in the counter view that lists the counters you selected from the data
source. The counter keys consist of four parts:
E Machine name
E Counter object name
E Instance
E Counter
ServerStats shows the machine name as part of the Data Source created
when you add a data source. ServerStats shows the counter object,
instance, and counter name, as follows:
object(instance): counter
For example, the following counter keys are from the same machine:
Processor(0):%Processor
Processor(0):%User Time
Memory (0): Available Bytes
You can select any counter in the counter view to create charts and set
properties for the selected counter.
About Data Intervals

ServerStats uses the following types of data intervals:
Data Source Polling Intervals specifies how often ServerStats polls the
data sources for counter data. The polling interval is set individually for
each data source when you add the data source to ServerStats.
e-Reporter Logging Interval specifies how often ServerStats writes
counter data to the e-Reporter database. The database update interval is

set globally for all counters using File Properties.
68
The following illustration shows the relationship between polling intervals

and the database update interval:
Data Sources
ServerStats

1010
0101
1010
0101
1010
Polling Intervals
Can Be Set for
Each Data Source
Database Update
Interval Set Globally
for All Counters
The e-Reporter database can accumulate a large amount of data if you use
a short database update interval and run a long session. If you plan to run
long (for example, several hours or more) e-Load Autopilot or e-Monitor
sessions and save the data for reporting, you may want to use a longer
database update interval (for example, in minutes rather than seconds) to
sample the data periodically. You can use counter alarms and scripts to
monitor the data as it is received from the data sources.
Using the Status Gauges

The gauge view provides a visual indication of the statistics values being
returned by server counters.
To create a gauge view, do the following:
1.
Configure counters from a Data Source.
2.
If necessary, select View Counters to show the Counter view.
3.
Select a data source or counter in the counter view.
4.
Select View Add View Gauge View.
69
As the ServerStats client receives counter data from the server, the data
values are updated in the status gauges. Each status gauge shows the
minimum and maximum values and the current value from the server.
Min Value
Max Value
Current Value
The current value is updated based upon the polling interval used to
retrieve statistics from the server. Initially, ServerStats automatically sets
the minimum and maximum values based upon counter statistics received
from the server.
As data is received from a counter, the color shade of the status gauges
change to provide a visual representation of the current value, as follows:
Bright Shade of Green
Indicates Current Value
The current value and visual indicator are updated based upon the polling
interval set for the data source.

To delete a counter from a data source:
1.
Select the counter to delete in the Counter view.
2.
Select Counter Delete or click the right mouse button and select
Delete.
The counter is removed from the Counter view and the counter is no
longer monitored.

Using Scripts
Using Scripts
The Script view of ServerStats provides a mechanism for responding to
alarms that occur while monitoring a counter. An alarm is triggered
whenever a counter value being monitored is outside of a minimummaximum range that you specify. You can use scripts for logging events,
or executing a program.
Scripts are snippets of VBScript code. The Script view has the following
default alarm script that creates a log entry in the log pane of ServerStats:
'Alarm Handler
monLog AlarmCounter.DefaultAlarmMessage
The DefaultAlarmMessage property logs the counter value and the

minimum and maximum settings for the alarm.
You can customize the script using VBScript and the ServerStats script
commands to handle alarms on server statistics being monitored.
Using Scripts as Counter Alarm Handlers

To use scripts as alarm handlers you must enable the script alarm feature.
You can use the default message or create your own custom script. The
following steps outline the procedure for using scripts as alarm handlers:
1.
2.
Select the counter name in the Counter view.
3.
Select Counter Properties or click the toolbar button.
4.
Select the Script check box in the Alarms group.
5.
Enter the Min, Max, and Point values.
6.
Click OK.
7.
Select View Script.
77
Using Scripts
8.
Enter the VBScript and ServerStats commands. The following script

is an example that uses the ServerStats monlog statement to write a
message to the log:
dim postAlarm
postAlarm=vbCrLf + "Server-Sider Monitoring Alarm!" + vbCrLf _
+ "An Empirix ServerStats Alarm occured on " & Date & _
+ " at " & Time & vbCrLf _
+ "Counter Name: " & AlarmCounter.DisplayString & vbCrlf _
+ "Value: " & AlarmCounter.CurrentValue.Value & vbCrlf
monlog postAlarm
9.
Click Update after entering or editing scripts.
ServerStats includes several methods and properties that you can use to
access various counter values and statistics using scripts. You can also log
messages to the Windows NT or 2000 application event. See Appendix B
for syntax and usage information.

ifEntry An interface entry containing the following objects at the
subnetwork layer and below for a particular interface:

ifSpecific A reference to MIB definitions specific to the particular
media being used to realize the interface. For example, if the interface
is realized by an Ethernet, then the value of this object refers to a
document defining objects specific to Ethernet. If this information is
not present, its value should be set to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER {
0 0 }, which is a syntactically valid object identifier, and any
conformant implementation of ASN.1 and BER must be able to
generate and recognize this value
ifOutQLen The length of the output packet queue, in packets.

ifOutErrors The number of outbound packets that could not be
transmitted because of errors.
ifOutDiscards The number of outbound packets that were chosen to
be discarded even though no errors were detected to prevent

transmition. Discarding packets could happen to free up buffer space.
ifOutNUcastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level
protocols requested be transmitted to a non-unicast address (i.e., a

subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast), including those that
were discarded or not sent.
ifOutUcastPkts The total number of packets that higher-level
protocols requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address,

including those that were discarded or not sent.
ifOutOctets The total number of octets transmitted out of the
interface, including framing characters.
ifInUnknownProtos The number of packets received via the interface
that were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
ifInErrors The number of inbound packets that contained errors
preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
ifInDiscards The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be
discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their

delivery to a higher-layer protocol. Discarding packets could happen to
free up buffer space.
97
Generic SNMP
ifInNUcastPkts The number of non-unicast
packets (i.e., subnetworkbroadcast or subnetwork-multicast) delivered to a higher-layer

protocol.
ifInUcastPkts The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to
a higher-layer protocol.
ifInOctets The total number of octets received on the interface,
including framing characters.
ifLastChange The value of sysUpTime at the time the interface
entered its current operational state. If the current state was entered
prior to the last re-initialization of the local network management
subsystem, then this object contains a zero value.
ifOperStatus The current operational state of the interface. The
testing(3) state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. If

ifAdminStatus is down(2) then ifOperStatus should be down(2). If
ifAdminStatus is changed to up(1) then ifOperStatus changes to up(1)
if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic; it
changes to dormant(5) for interfaces that require additional actions,
such as a dialup interface waiting for an incoming or outgoing call; it
remains in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents
it from going to the up(1) state. If ifOperStatus is blocked(6) no
packets can be passed and no dialup will occur for a certain time.
up(1)= ready to pass packets; down(2); testing(3)= in some test
mode; unknown(4)= status can not be determined. dormant(5)=
operational but not up (eg. dialup); blocked(6)= currently not
operational.
ifAdminStatus The desired state of the interface. The testing(3) state
indicates that no operational packets can be passed. The dialup(4) state

can be used to initiate a call. up(1)= ready to pass packets;
down(2);testing(3)= in some test mode;dialup(4) = initiate a call on a
dialup interface for some reason.
ifPhysAddress The interface's address at the protocol layer
immediately 'below' the network layer in the protocol stack. For

interfaces that do not have such an address (e.g., a serial line), this
object should contain an octet string of zero length.
98
Generic SNMP
ifSpeed An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in bits per
second. For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or for those where
no accurate estimation can be made, this object should contain the
nominal bandwidth.
ifMtu The size of the largest datagram that can be sent/received on the
interface, specified in octets. For interfaces that are used for

transmitting network datagrams, this is the size of the largest network
datagram that can be sent on the interface.
ifType The type of interface, distinguished according to the
physical/link protocol(s) immediately 'below' the network layer in the

protocol stack. other(1)= none of the following; regular1822(2);

ppp(23); softwareLoopback(24); eon(25)= CLNP over IP [11];
ethernet-3Mbit(26); nsip(27) = XNS over IP; slip(28)= generic
SLIP; ultra(29)= ULTRA technologies; ds3(30)= T-3; sip(31)=
SMDS; frame-relay(32).
ifDescr A text string containing information about the interface. The
ifDesc value can be defined to help improve readability of the interface

names on the system. By default, the hardware and software interfaces
are set by the system as follows: a. Hardware interfaces (1000 #
ifIndex # 9999): name contains information on this slot number, and
if applicable, the unit number. For example: 'en1' for ethernet in slot 1,
'bri2-1' for a basic rate interface in slot 2 unit 1. b. Software interfaces
(ifIndex 10000): the name is set to dialup(x) where x is the next
available interface number on the system.
ifIndex A unique value for each interface. Its value ranges between
1000 and the value of ifNumber. The following information is encoded

in the ifIndex: a. An ifIndex between 1000 and 9999 defines hardware
interfaces with the following attributes. b. An ifIndex greater than or
equal to 10000 defines a software interface. Examples include the
dialup-interfaces as defined in the biboPPPTable.
99
Generic SNMP
ifNumber The number of network interfaces, regardless of their current
state, present on this system.

ipAddrEntry The addressing information for one of the entity's IP
addresses. The information consists of the following:

ipAdEntReasmMaxSize The size of the largest IP datagram that this
entity can re-assemble from incoming IP fragmented datagrams

received on this interface.
ipAdEntBcastAddr The value of the least-significant bit in the IP
broadcast address used for sending datagrams on the logical interface

associated with the IP address of this entry. For example, when the
Internet standard all-ones broadcast address is used, the value will be 1.
This value applies to both the subnet and network broadcasts addresses
used by the BRICK on this logical interface.
ipAdEntNetMask The subnet mask associated with the IP address of
this entry. The value of the mask is an IP address with all the network
bits set to 1 and all the host bits set to 0.
ipAdEntIfIndex The index value that uniquely identifies the interface to
which this entry is applicable. The interface identified by a particular

value of this index is the same interface that is identified by the same
value of ifIndex.
ipAdEntAddr The IP address to which this entry's addressing
information pertains. This is one of the IP addresses of the BRICK.
ipDefaultTTL The default value inserted into the Time-To-Live field of

the IP header of datagrams originated at the BRICK, whenever a TTL
value is not supplied by the transport layer protocol.
ipForwarding The indication of whether the BRICK is acting as an IP
gateway in respect to the forwarding of datagrams received by, but not
addressed to, the BRICK. IP gateways forward datagrams. IP hosts do
not (except those source- routed via the host). Note that for the BRICK,
this object is always set to 'forwarding'. forwarding(1)= acting as a
gateway; not-forwarding(2)= NOT acting as a gateway.
ipForwDatagrams The number of input datagrams for which the BRICK
was not the final IP destination, resulting in an attempt to find a route for
forwarding them to their final destination.
100
Generic SNMP
ipFragCreates The number of IP datagram fragments that have been

generated as a result of fragmentation at the BRICK.
ipFragFails The number of IP datagrams that have been discarded
because they needed to be fragmented at this entity but could not be, e.g.,
because their Don't Fragment flag was set.
ipFragOKs The number of IP datagrams that have been successfully
fragmented at the BRICK.

ipInAddrErrors The number of input datagrams discarded because the IP
address in their IP header's destination field was not a valid address to be
received at the BRICK. This count includes invalid addresses (e.g.,
0.0.0.0) and addresses of unsupported Classes (e.g., Class E).
ipInDelivers The total number of input datagrams successfully delivered
to IP user-protocols including ICMP.
ipInDiscards The number of input IP datagrams that were discarded
even though no problems were encountered to prevent processing them

(e.g., for lack of buffer space). Note that this counter does not include any
datagrams discarded while awaiting re-assembly.
ipInHdrErrors The number of input datagrams discarded due to errors in
their IP headers, including bad checksums, version number mismatch,

other format errors, time-to-live exceeded, and errors discovered in
processing their IP options, etc.
ipInReceives The total number of input datagrams received from
interfaces, including those received in error.

ipInUnknownProtos The number of locally addressed datagrams received
successfully but discarded because of an unknown or unsupported

protocol.
ipNetToMediaEntry Each entry contains one IpAddress to 'physical'
address equivalence. Each entry consists of the following counters:
ipNetToMediaType The type of mapping. Setting this object to the
value invalid(2) has the effect of invalidating the corresponding entry

in the ipNetToMediaTable. The entry is then removed from the
ipNetToMediaTable. other(1)= none of the following; delete(2);
invalid(2)= an invalidated mapping; dynamic(3); static(4).
101
Generic SNMP
ipNetToMediaNetAddress The IpAddress corresponding to the
mediadependent 'physical' address.
ipNetToMediaPhysAddress The media-dependent 'physical' address.

ipNetToMediaIfIndex The interface on which this entry's equivalence is
effective. The interface identified by a particular value of this index is

the same interface as identified by the same value of ifIndex.
ipOutDiscards The number of output IP datagrams for which no
problem was encountered to prevent transmission to their destination, but

that were discarded anyway (e.g., for lack of buffer space).
ipOutNoRoutes The number of IP datagrams discarded because no
route could be found to transmit them to their destination. Note that this
counter includes any packets counted in ipForwDatagrams that meet this
'no-route' criterion. Note that this includes any datagrams that a host
cannot route because all of its default gateways are down.
ipOutRequests The total number of IP datagrams that local IP user-
protocols, including ICMP, supplied to IP in requests for transmission.

Note that this counter does not include any datagrams counted in
ipForwDatagrams.
ipReasmFails The number of failures detected by the IP re-assembly
algorithm (eg, timed out, errors, etc). Note that this is not necessarily a
count of discarded IP fragments since some algorithms (notably the
algorithm in RFC 815) can lose track of the number of fragments by
combining them as they are received.
ipReasmOKs The number of IP datagrams successfully re-assembled.
ipReasmReqds The number of IP fragments received that needed to be
reassembled at the BRICK.

ipReasmTimeout The maximum number of seconds that received
fragments are held while they are awaiting reassembly at the BRICK.
ipRouteEntry A route to a particular destination. Each entry consists of
the following counters:

ipRouteInfo A reference to MIB definitions specific to the particular
routing protocol responsible for this route, as determined by the value
102
Generic SNMP
specified in the route's ipRoute-Proto value. This value is currently not

used by the BRICK and is therefore always set to 0.0.
ipRouteMetric5 Defined, but not used by the BRICK.
ipRouteMask Indicate the mask to be logical-ANDed with the
destination address before being compared to the value in the

ipRouteDest field. The BRICK is able to use arbitrary subnet-masks.
If the subnet mask is not specified, it will be set automatically
according to the following table: 0.0.0.0 default route 255.0.0.0 class-A
255.255.0.0 class-B 255.255.255.0 class-C If the value of the
ipRouteDest is 0.0.0.0 (a default route) then the mask value is also
0.0.0.0. Note that all IP routing subsystems implicitly use this
mechanism. Host routes are created by setting the subnet mask to
255.255.255.255.
ipRouteAge The number of seconds since this route was last updated
or otherwise determined to be correct. Note that no semantics of 'too

old' can be implied except through knowledge of the routing protocol
by which the route was learned.
ipRouteProto The routing mechanism via which this route was
learned. Inclusion of values for gateway routing protocols is not

intended to imply that hosts should support those protocols.other(1)=
none of the following; local(2 = non-protocol information e.g.,
manually configured entries; netmgmt(3) = set via a network
management protocol; icmp(4) = obtained via ICMP, e.g., Redirect;
the remaining values are all gateway routing protocols: egp(5); ggp(6);
hello(7); rip(8); is-is(9); es-is(10); ciscoIgrp(11); bbnSpfIgp(12);
ospf(13); bgp(14).
ipRouteType The type of route. Note that the values direct(3) and
indirect(4) refer to the notion of direct and indirect routing in the IP

architecture. Setting this object to the value invalid(2) has the effect of
deleting the routing entry from the ipRouteTable. other(1)= none of
the following; delete(2); invalid(2)= an invalidated route route to
directly; direct(3)= connected (sub-)network route to a non-local;
indirect(4)= host/network/sub-network.
103
Generic SNMP
ipRouteNextHop The IP address of the next hop of this route. (In the
case of a route bound to an interface realized via a broadcast media, the

value of this field is the agent's IP address on that interface.)

ipRouteIfIndex The index value that uniquely identifies the local
interface through which the next hop of this route should be reached.
The interface identified by a particular value of this index is the same
interface as identified by the same value of ifIndex. The special
interface index zero (0) means discard the packet.
ipRouteDest The destination IP address of this route. An entry with a
value of 0.0.0.0 is considered a default route. Multiple routes to a

single destination can appear in the table, but access to such multiple
entries is dependent on the table-access mechanisms defined by the
network management protocol in use.
ipRoutingDiscards The number of routing entries that were chosen to be
discarded even though they were valid. One possible reason for
discarding such an entry could be to free buffer space for other routing
entries.
snmpEnableAuthenTraps Indicates whether the SNMP agent process is
permitted to generate authentication-failure traps. The value of this object
overrides any configuration information; as such, it provides a means
whereby all authentication-failure traps may be disabled. Note that it is
strongly recommended that this object be stored in non-volatile memory
so that it remains constant between re-initializations of the network
management system.
snmpInASNParseErrs The total number of ASN.1 or BER errors
encountered by the SNMP protocol entity when decoding received

snmpInReadOnlys The total number valid SNMP PDUs that were
error-status field is 'readOnly'. Note that it is a protocol error to generate
an SNMP PDU that contains the value 'readOnly' in the error-status
field, as such this object is provided as a means to detect incorrect
implementations of the SNMP.
snmpInSetRequests The total number of SNMP Set-Request PDUs
105
Generic SNMP
snmpInTooBigs The total number of SNMP PDUs that were delivered
to the SNMP protocol entity and for which the value of the error-status

direct transition to the SYN-SENT state from the CLOSED state.

tcpAttemptFails The number of times TCP connections have made a
direct transition to the CLOSED state from either the SYN-SENT or
SYN-RCVD state, plus the number of times TCP connections have made
a direct transition to the LISTEN state from the SYN-RCVD state.
tcpConnEntry Information about a particular current TCP connection.
An object of this type is transient, in that it ceases to exist when (or soon
after) the connection makes the transition to the CLOSED state. Each
entry consists of the following counters:
tcpConnRemPort The remote port number for this TCP connection.
tcpConnRemAddress The remote IP address for this TCP connection.
tcpConnLocalPort The local port number for this TCP connection.
tcpConnLocalAddress The local IP address for this TCP connection.
In the case of a connection in the listen state that is willing to accept

connections for any IP interface associated with the node, the value
0.0.0.0 is used.
tcpConnState The state of this TCP connection. The only value that
may be set by a management station is deleteTCB(12). Accordingly, it

is appropriate for an agent to return a 'badValue' response if a
management station attempts to set this object to any other value. If a
management station sets this object to the value deleteTCB(12), then
this has the effect of deleting the TCB (as defined in RFC 793) of the
corresponding connection on the managed node, resulting in
immediate termination of the connection. As an implementationspecific option, an RST segment may be sent from the managed node
to the other TCP endpoint. Note, however, that RST segments are not
sent reliably.
107
Generic SNMP
tcpCurrEstab The number of TCP connections for which the current

state is either ESTABLISHED or CLOSE-WAIT.
tcpEstabResets The number of times TCP connections have made a
direct transition to the CLOSED state from either the ESTABLISHED

or CLOSE-WAIT state.

checksums).
tcpInSegs The total number of segments received, including those
received in error. This count includes segments received on currently
established connections.
tcpMaxConn The limit on the total number of TCP connections the
entity can support. In entities where the maximum number of connections

is dynamic, this object should contain the value -1.
tcpOutRsts The number of TCP segments sent containing the RST
flag.
tcpOutSegs The total number of segments sent, including those on
current connections, and excluding those containing only retransmitted

octets.
tcpPassiveOpens The number of times TCP connections have made a
direct transition to the SYN-RCVD state from the LISTEN state.

tcpRetransSegs The total number of segments retransmitted, that is, the
number of TCP segments transmitted containing one or more previously

transmitted octets.
tcpRtoAlgorithm The algorithm for determining the timeout value used
for retransmitting unacknowledged octets.

tcpRtoMax The maximum value permitted by a TCP implementation
for the retransmission timeout, measured in milliseconds. More refined

semantics for objects of this type depend upon the algorithm used to
determine the retransmission timeout. In particular, when the timeout
algorithm is rsre(3), an object of this type has the semantics of the
UBOUND quantity described in RFC 793.
tcpRtoMin The minimum value permitted by a TCP implementation for
the retransmission timeout, measured in milliseconds. More refined

108
HP-UX System
semantics for objects of this type depend upon the algorithm used to
determine the retransmission timeout. In particular, when the timeout
algorithm is rsre(3), an object of this type has the semantics of the
LBOUND quantity described in RFC 793. other(1)= none of the
following; constant(2)= a constant rto; rsre(3)= MIL-STD-1778,
Appendix B; vanj(4) = Van Jacobson's algorithm [10].
udpEntry Information about a particular current UDP listener, which
consists of the following counters:

udpLocalPort The local port number for this UDP listener.

UDP users.
udpInErrors The number of received UDP datagrams that could not be
delivered for reasons other than the lack of an application at the
destination port.

Other Request Methods/sec The rate HTTP requests are made that do
not use the OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE,

TRACE, MOVE, COPY, MKCOL, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH,
MS-SEARCH, LOCK or UNLOCK methods. These may include

the pagable executive. In addition to this, there is another ~300k bytes of
non-paged kernel code.
Total Allowed Async I/O Requests The number of user requests allowed
by the Web and FTP services since service startup. When you throttle
bandwidth, the number of allowed user requests will be restricted.
Total Anonymous Users The total number of users that established an
anonymous connection with the Web service since service startup.

Total Blocked Async I/O Requests The total number of requests that have
been temporarily blocked by the bandwidth throttle setting since service
startup. Blocked requests are held in a buffer and then unblocked if more
bandwidth becomes available, unless a timeout limit is reached.
120
Total CGI Requests Total Common Gateway Interface (CGI) requests
are custom gateway executables (.exe) the administrator can install to add
forms processing or other dynamic data sources. CGI requests spawn a
process on the server that can drain server resources. The count is the
total since service startup.
Total Connection Attempts The number of connections that have been
attempted using the Web service since service startup. This counter is for
all instances listed.

method since service startup. Get requests are generally used for basic file
retrievals or image maps, though they can be used with forms.
Total Head Requests The number of HTTP requests using the HEAD
method since service startup. Head requests generally indicate a client is

querying the state of a document they already have to see if it needs to be
refreshed.
Total ISAPI Extension Requests Total ISAPI Extension Requests are
custom gateway Dynamic Link Libraries (.dll) the administrator can

install to add forms processing or other dynamic data sources. Unlike
CGI requests, ISAPI requests are simple calls to a DLL library routine,
thus they are better suited to high performance gateway applications. The
count is the total since service startup.

OPTIONS method since service startup.

Total Other Request Methods The number of HTTP requests that are
not OPTIONS, GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE,

MOVE, COPY, MKCOL, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MSSEARCH, LOCK or UNLOCK methods since service startup. These
may include LINK or other methods supported by gateway applications.
Total Post Requests The number of HTTP requests using the POST
method since service startup. Post requests are generally used for forms
or gateway requests.
Total Put Requests The number of HTTP requests using the PUT
method since service startup.

method since service startup. Trace requests allow the client to see what is
being received at the end of the request chain and use the information for
diagnostic purposes.

remove locks from files.
Trace Requests/sec The rate HTTP requests using the TRACE
method are made. Trace requests allow the client to see what is being
122
received at the end of the request chain and use the information for
Unlock Requests The rate HTTP requests using the UNLOCK
method are made. Unlock requests are used to remove locks from files.

SQL Version 6.5
Cache Hit Ratio The percentage of pages found in the cache without
reading from disk. The ratio is the total number of cache hits divided by
the total number of cache lookups since SQL Server was started. After a
long period of time, the ratio moves very little. Because reading from the
cache is less expensive than reading from disk, you want the ratio to be
high. You can usually increase the cache hit ratio by increasing the
amount of memory available to SQL Server.
Cache - Number of Free Buffers The number of free buffers available.
I/O - Batch Writes/sec The number of SQL pages written to the disk
per second using Batch I/O.

I/O - Lazy Writes/sec The number of buffers written per second by the
buffer managers lazy writer. The lazy writer is a system process whose
main task is to flush out batches of dirty, aged buffers (buffers that
contain changes that must be written back to disk before the buffer can be
reused for a different page) and make them available to user processes.
The lazy writer eliminates the need to perform checkpoints frequently for
the purpose of creating available buffers.
I/O - Trans. per Log Record The number of transactions that were packed
into a log record before the log record was written to disk.
RA - Pages Fetched into Cache/sec The number of pages that are pre-
fetched into cache by Read Ahead Manager. Queries that do table scans
or return large result sets in sequential fashion result in high values. High
values for this counter indicate that the Read Ahead Manager is being
used effectively.
RA - Pages Found in Cache/sec The number of pages that have already
been cached by the Read Ahead Manager. If this remains sufficiently
123
high, it is likely that Read Ahead is not being used effectively. However, a
high value could also be caused by misconfigured Read Ahead
parameters, or your application might not be able to make good use of
Read Ahead, such as in OLTP environments.
RA - Physical Reads/sec The number of physical reads, each consisting
of single extent, issued by Read Ahead Manager.

User Connections The number of user connections. Because each user
connection consumes some memory, configuring overly high numbers of
user connections could affect throughput. User connections should be set
to the maximum expected number of concurrent users.
SQL Version 7.0

Connection Memory (KB) The total amount of dynamic memory the
server is using to maintain connections.

Granted Workspace Memory (KB) The total amount of memory currently
granted to executing processes such as hash, sort, bulk copy, and index
creation operations.
Lock Blocks The current number of lock blocks in use on the server
(refreshed periodically). A lock block represents an individual locked

resource, such as a table, page, or row.
Lock Blocks Allocated The current number of allocated lock blocks. At
server startup, the number of allocated lock blocks plus the number of
allocated lock owner blocks depends on the SQL Server Locks
configuration option. If more lock blocks are needed, the value increases.
Lock Memory (KB) The total amount of dynamic memory the server is
using for locks.

Lock Owner Blocks The number of lock owner blocks currently in use on
the server (refreshed periodically). A lock owner block represents the

ownership of a lock on an object by an individual thread. Therefore, if
three threads each have a shared (S) lock on a page, there will be three
lock owner blocks.
Lock Owner Blocks Allocated The current number of allocated lock
owner blocks. At server startup, the number of allocated lock owner

blocks plus the number of allocated lock blocks depends on the SQL
124
Server Locks configuration option. If more lock owner blocks are needed,
the value increases dynamically.
Logins/sec The total number of logins started per second.
Logouts/sec The total number of logout operations started per second.
Maximum Workspace Memory (KB) The maximum amount of memory
available for executing processes such as hash, sort, bulk copy, and index
creation operations.
Memory Grants Outstanding The total number of processes per second
that have successfully acquired a workspace memory grant.
Memory Grants Pending The total number of processes per second
waiting for a workspace memory grant.

Optimizer Memory (KB) The total amount of dynamic memory the server
is using for query optimization.
SQL Cache Memory (KB) Total amount of dynamic memory the server is
using for the dynamic SQL cache.
SQL Compilations/sec The number of SQL compilations per second.
Indicates the number of times the compile code path is entered, including
compiles due to recompiles. Once SQL Server user activity is stable, this
value should reach a steady state.
SQL Re-Compilations/sec The number of SQL recompiles per second.
Counts the number of times recompiles are triggered. In general, you
want the recompiles to be low.
Target Server Memory (KB) The total amount of dynamic memory the
server is willing to consume.

Total Server Memory (KB) Total amount of dynamic memory, in
kilobytes, that the server is currently using.

User Connections The number of user connections. Because each user
connection consumes some memory, configuring overly high numbers of
user connections could affect throughput. User connections should be set
to the maximum expected number of concurrent users.

to the database and is no longer available to users on this host. This does
not necessarily indicate the amount of space actually in use use Size
Used for this information.

rdbmsDbInfoSizeUnits, actually in use for database data.

Finished Transactions Per Second Displays the number of transactions
that are visible to this server upon which either COMMIT or ABORT
operations have been completed since startup of this database server
instance.
Disk Reads Per Second Displays the total number of reads of database
files this server has issued to the operating system since startup of this
database server instance.
Logical Reads Per Second Displays the total number of logical reads of
database files that this server has made internally since startup. This value
and the value of Disk Reads indicate the effect of caching on read
operations.
Disk Writes Per Second Displays the total number of writes to database
files this server has issued to the operating system since startup.
Logical Writes Per Second Displays the total number of times parts of the
database files have been marked "dirty" and in need of writing to the disk.
This value and Disk Writes indicate the effect of "write-behind" strategies
in reducing the number of disk writes as compared to database operations.
Because the writes may be done by servers other than those marking the
parts of the database files dirty, these values may only be meaningful when
aggregated across all servers sharing a common cache. Numbers are not
comparable between products.
128
Oracle Database
Page Reads Per Second Displays the total number of pages in database
files this server has read since startup of this database server instance.
"Pages" are product-specific units of disk I/O operations. This value,
together with the value of Disks Reads, reveals the effect of any grouping
read-ahead that may be used to enhance performance of some queries,
such as scans.
Page Writes Per Second Displays the total number of pages in database
files this server has written since this startup of this database server
instance. Pages are product-specific units of disk I/O. This value,
together with the value of DiskdWrites, shows the effect of write
strategies that collapse logical writes of continuous pages into single calls
to the operating system.
Requests Handled Per Second Displays the total number of requests
made to the server on inbound associations since the startup of this

database server instance.
Highwater Inbound Associations Displays the greatest number of inbound
associations that have been simultaneously open to this server since this
startup of this database server instance.
Sorts Per Second Indicates the number of sorts that have allocated disk
work space.
User Calls Per Second Indicates the number of user calls which include
Parse, Execute, or Fetch. With the Oracle server's deferred and bundled
execution capabilities, this statistic will not necessarily correlate well with
client/server message traffic.
User Commits Per Second Displays the number of database transactions
successfully completed and records the number of aborted database

transactions.
User Rollbacks Per Second Indicates the number of aborted database
transactions.
Block Changes Per Transaction Measures the amount of Data
Manipulation Language (DML) work that each transaction performs.
Creating or dropping indexes impacts this value because changes to index
blocks increment it.
129
Solaris System
Block Visits Per Transaction This ratio measures the work database load
imposed per transaction; if it is moving independently, then this strongly

indicates that there has been a change in the application workload.
Cache Hit Ratio This ratio measures the effectiveness of the buffer cache.
The normally acceptable range is 70 - 85%.

Redo Log Space Wait Ratio Measures memory allocation. If it is greater
than 1 / 5,000, then the redo log buffer should be increased until the redo
log space wait ratio stops failing.
Row Source Ratio Measures the percentage of the total rows retrieved
that came from full table scans. As soon as this percentage starts to rise
much above 0, the interpretation of other statistics may need to be
reviewed.
Sort Overflow Ratio This ratio yields the ratio of the number of sorts that
are using temporary segments. Under restricted circumstances when there

is a predominance of medium size sorts, increasing the sort area size may
be effective.
User Rollback Ratio Indicates the rate at which application transactions
are failing. Rolling back a transaction uses significant resources, and

would seem to indicate that all of the resources expended in executing the
transaction have been wasted

143
Current Disk Queue Length The number of requests outstanding on the
disk at the time the performance data is collected, including requests in

service at the time of the snapshot. This is an instantaneous length, not an
average over the time interval. Multi-spindle disk devices can have
multiple requests active at one time, but other concurrent requests are
awaiting service. This counter might reflect a transitory high or low
queue length, but if there is a sustained load on the disk drive, it is likely
that this will be consistently high. Requests are experiencing delays
proportional to the length of this queue minus the number of spindles on
the disks. This difference should average less than two for good
performance.

parameters might need adjustment.
Bytes Received/sec The number of bytes the server has received from
the network, indicating how busy the server is.
144
Bytes Total/sec The number of bytes the server has sent to and received
from the network, providing an overall indication of how busy the server
is.
Bytes Transmitted/sec The number of bytes the server has sent on the
network, indicating how busy the server is.
Context Blocks Queued/sec The rate at which work context blocks had
to be placed on the server's FSP queue to await server action.
Errors Access Permissions The number of times opens on behalf of
clients have failed with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. Can indicate
that somebody is randomly attempting to access files that are not properly
protected.
Errors Granted Access The number of times accesses to successfully
opened files were denied. Can indicate attempts to access files without
proper authorization.
Errors Logon The number of failed logon attempts to the server.
Can
indicate that password guessing programs are being used to bypass server
security.
Errors System The number of times an internal Server Error was
detected. Unexpected errors usually indicate a problem with the Server.

File Directory Searches The number of searches for files currently active
in the server, indicating current server activity.
Files Open The number of files currently opened in the server.
Indicates
current server activity.

Files Opened Total The number of successful open attempts performed
by the server of behalf of clients. Useful for determining the amount of
file I/O, the overhead for path-based operations, and the effectiveness of
open locks.
Logon Total Logon Total includes all interactive logons, network logons,
service logons, successful logons, and failed logons since the machine was
last rebooted.
Logon/sec The rate of all server logons.
Pool Nonpaged Bytes The number of bytes of non-pageable computer
memory the server is using. This value is useful for determining the
145
values of the MaxNonpagedMemoryUsage value entry in the

Windows NT Registry.
Pool Nonpaged Failures The number of times allocations from nonpaged
pool have failed. Indicates that the computer's physical memory is too
small.
Pool Nonpaged Peak The maximum number of bytes of nonpaged pool
the server has had in use at any one point. Indicates how much physical
memory the computer should have.
Pool Paged Bytes The number of bytes of pageable computer memory
the server is currently using. Can help to determine good values for the
MaxPagedMemoryUsage parameter.
Pool Paged Failures The number of times allocations from paged pool
have failed. Indicates that the computer's physical memory or paging file
is too small.
Pool Paged Peak The maximum number of bytes of paged pool the
server has had allocated. Indicates the proper sizes of the Page File(s)
and physical memory.
Server Sessions The number of sessions currently active in the server,
indicating current server activity.
Sessions Errored Out The number of sessions that have been closed due
to either unexpected error conditions or sessions that have reached the

autodisconnect timeout and have been disconnected normally.
Sessions Forced Off The number of sessions that have been forced to
logoff. Can indicate how many sessions were forced to logoff due to
logon time constraints.
Sessions Logged Off The number of sessions that have terminated
normally. Useful for interpreting the Sessions Times Out and Sessions
Errored Out statistics--allows percentage calculations.
Sessions Timed Out The number of sessions that have been closed due to
their idle time exceeding the AutoDisconnect parameter for the server.
Shows whether the AutoDisconnect setting is helping to conserve
resources.
146
Work Item Shortages The number of times

STATUS_DATA_NOT_ACCEPTED was returned at receive
indication time. This occurs when no work item is available or can be
allocated to service the incoming request. Indicates whether or not the
InitWorkItems or MaxWorkItems parameters might need to be adjusted.
Server Work Queues

Active Threads The number of threads currently working on a request
from the server client for this CPU. This is an instantaneous count for
the CPU, not an average over time.
Available Threads The number of server threads on this CPU not
currently working on requests from a client. The server dynamically

adjusts the number of threads to maximize server performance.
Available Work Items Every request from a client is represented in the
server as a 'work item,' and the server maintains a pool of available work
items per CPU to speed processing. This is the instantaneous number of
available work items for this CPU. A sustained near-zero value indicates
the need to increase the MinFreeWorkItems registry value for the Server
service. This value will always be 0 in the Blocking Queue instance.
Borrowed Work Items Every request from a client is represented in the
items per CPU to speed processing. When a CPU runs out of work
items, it borrows a free work item from another CPU. An increasing
value of this running counter might indicate the need to increase the
'MaxWorkItems' or 'MinFreeWorkItems' registry values for the Server
service. This value will always be 0 in the Blocking Queue instance.
Bytes Received/sec The rate at which the Server is receiving bytes from
the network clients on this CPU. This value is a measure of how busy the
Server is.
Bytes Sent/sec The rate at which the Server is sending bytes to the
network clients on this CPU. This value is a measure of how busy the
Server is.
Bytes Transferred/sec The rate at which the Server is sending and
receiving bytes with the network clients on this CPU. This value is a
measure of how busy the Server is.
147
Context Blocks Queues/sec Context Blocks Queued per second is the

rate at which work context blocks had to be placed on the server's FSP
queue to await server action.
Current Clients The instantaneous count of the clients being serviced by
this CPU. The server actively balances the client load across all of the
CPU's in the system. This value will always be 0 for the Blocking Queue
instance.
Queue Length The current length of the server work queue for this
CPU. A sustained queue length greater than four might indicate

processor congestion. This is an instantaneous count, not an average over
time.
Read Bytes/sec The rate the server is reading data from files for the
clients on this CPU and is a measure of how busy the Server is.
Read Operations/sec The rate the server is performing file read
operations for the clients on this CPU. This value is a measure of how
busy the Server is. This value will always be 0 in the Blocking Queue
instance.
Total Bytes/sec The rate the Server is reading and writing data to and
from the files for the clients on this CPU. This value is a measure of how
busy the Server is.
Total Operations/sec The rate the Server is performing file read and file
write operations for the clients on this CPU. This value is a measure of
how busy the Server is and will always be 0 for the Blocking Queue
instance.
Work Item Shortages Every request from a client is represented in the
items per CPU to speed processing. A sustained value greater than zero
indicates the need to increase the 'MaxWorkItems' registry value for the
Server service. This value will always be 0 in the Blocking Queue
instance.
Write Bytes/sec The rate the server is writing data to files for the clients
on this CPU. This value is a measure of how busy the Server is.
148
Write Operations/sec The rate the server is performing file write
operations for the clients on this CPU. This value is a measure of how
busy the Server is and will always be 0 for the Blocking Queue instance.
Redirector
Bytes Received/sec The rate of bytes coming in to the Redirector from
the network. It includes all application data as well as network protocol

information (such as packet headers).
Bytes Total/sec The rate the Redirector is processing data bytes.
This
includes all application and file data in addition to protocol information
such as packet headers.
Bytes Transmitted/sec The rate at which bytes are leaving the Redirector
to the network. It includes all application data as well as network protocol
information (such as packet headers, etc).
Connects Core The number of connections you have to servers running
the original MS-Net SMB protocol, including MS-Net, Xenix and VAX
servers.
Connects Lan Manager 2.0 The number of connections to LAN
Manager 2.0 servers, including LMX servers.

Connects Lan Manager 2.1 The number of connections to LAN
Manager 2.1 servers, including LMX servers.

Connects Windows NT The number of connections to Windows NT
computers.
Current Commands The number of requests to the Redirector that are
currently queued for service. If this number is much larger than the
number of network adapter cards installed in the computer, then the
network(s) and/or the server(s) being accessed are seriously bottlenecked.
File Data Operations/sec The rate the Redirector is processing data
operations. One operation includes many bytes because each operation
has overhead. You can determine the efficiency of this path by dividing
the Bytes/sec by this counter to determine the average number of bytes
transferred/operation.
149
File Read Operations/sec The rate at which applications are asking the
Redirector for data. Each call to a file system or similar Application
Program Interface (API) counts as one operation.
File Write Operations/sec The rate at which applications are sending
data to the Redirector. Each call to a file system or similar Application
Program Interface (API) counts as one operation.
Network Errors/sec The number of serious unexpected errors that
generally indicate the Redirector and one or more Servers are having
serious communication difficulties. For example an SMB (Server
Manager Block) protocol error generates a Network Error, resulting in
an entry in the system Event Log.
Packets Received/sec The rate at which the Redirector is receiving
packets (also called SMBs or Server Message Blocks). The average

number of bytes received in a packet can be obtained by dividing Bytes
Received/sec by this counter. Some packets received might not contain
incoming data, for example an acknowledgment to a write made by the
Redirector is considered an incoming packet even though there is no
incoming data.
Packets Transmitted/sec The rate at which the Redirector is sending
packets (also called SMBs or Server Message Blocks). The average

number of bytes transmitted in a packet can be obtained by dividing Bytes
Transmitted/sec by this counter.
Packets/sec The rate the Redirector is processing data packets. One
packet includes many bytes because each packet has protocol overhead.
You can determine the efficiency of this path by dividing the Bytes/sec by
this counter to determine the average number of bytes transferred/packet.
You can also divide this counter by Operations/sec to determine the
average number of packets per operation, another measure of efficiency.
Read Bytes Cache/sec The rate at which applications are accessing the
file system cache by using the Redirector. Some of these data requests are
satisfied by retrieving the data from the cache. Requests that miss the
Cache cause a page fault (see Read Bytes Paging/sec).
Read Bytes Network/sec The rate at which applications are reading data
across the network. This occurs when data sought in the file system cache
is not found there and must be retrieved from the network. Dividing this
150
value by Bytes Received/sec indicates the proportion of application data

traveling across the network. (see Bytes Received/sec).
Read Bytes Nonpaging/sec The number of bytes read by the Redirector
in response to normal file requests by an application when they are

redirected to come from another computer. In addition to file requests,
this counter includes other methods of reading across the network such as
Named Pipes and Transactions. This counter does not count network
protocol information, just application data.
Read Bytes Paging/sec The rate at which the Redirector is attempting to
read bytes in response to page faults. Page faults are caused by loading of
modules (such as programs and libraries), by a miss in the Cache (see
Read Bytes Cache/sec), or by files directly mapped into the address space
of applications (a high-performance feature of Windows NT).
Read Operations Random/sec The rate at which, on a file-by-file basis,
reads are made that are not sequential. If a read is made using a particular
file handle, followed by another read that is not the contiguous next byte,
this counter is incremented by one.
Read Packets Small/sec The rate at which reads less than one-fourth of
the server's negotiated buffer size are made by applications. Too many of
these could indicate a waste of buffers on the server. This counter is
incremented once for each read. It does not count packets.
Read Packets/sec The rate at which read packets are being placed on
the network. Each time a single packet is sent with a request to read data
remotely, this counter is incremented by one.
Reads Denied/sec The rate at which the server is unable to
accommodate requests for Raw Reads. When a read is much larger than
the server's negotiated buffer size, the Redirector requests a Raw Read
which, if granted, would permit the transfer of the data without lots of
protocol overhead on each packet. To accomplish this the server must
lock out other requests, so the request is denied if the server is really busy.
Reads Large/sec The rate at which reads over 2 times the server's
negotiated buffer size are made by applications. Too many of these could
place a strain on server resources. This counter is incremented once for
each read. It does not count packets.
151
Server Disconnects The number of times a Server has disconnected your

Redirector. See also Server Reconnects.
Server Reconnects The number of times your Redirector has had to
reconnect to a server to complete a new active request. You can be

disconnected by the Server if you remain inactive for too long. Locally
even if all your remote files are closed, the Redirector will keep your
connections intact for (nominally) ten minutes. Such inactive connections
are called Dormant Connections. Reconnecting is expensive in time.
Server Sessions The total number of security objects the Redirector has
managed. For example, a logon to a server followed by a network access
to the same server will establish one connection, and two sessions.
Server Sessions Hung The number of active sessions that are timed out
and unable to proceed due to a lack of response from the remote server.
Write Bytes Cache/sec The rate at which applications on your computer
are writing to the file system cache by using the Redirector. Each write of
a byte into the cache is counted here. The data might not leave your
computer immediately; it can be retained in the cache for further
modification before being written to the network. This saves network
traffic.
Write Bytes Network/sec The rate at which applications are writing data
across the network. This occurs when the file system cache is bypassed,
such as for Named Pipes or Transactions, or when the cache writes the
bytes to disk to make room for other data. Dividing this counter by Bytes
Transmitted/sec indicates the proportion of application data being to the
network (see Transmitted Bytes/sec).
Write Bytes Nonpaging/sec The rate at which bytes are written by the
Redirector in response to normal file outputs by an application when the
outputs are redirected to another computer. In addition to file requests,
this count includes other methods of writing across the network, such as
Named Pipes and Transactions. This counter does not count network
protocol information, just application data.
Write Bytes Paging/sec The rate at which the Redirector is attempting to
write bytes changed in the pages being used by applications. The

program data changed by modules (such as programs and libraries) that
were loaded over the network are 'paged out' when no longer needed.
152
Other output pages come from the file system cache (see Write Bytes
Cache/sec).
Write Operations Random/sec The rate at which, on a file-by-file basis,
writes are made that are not sequential. If a write is made using a
particular file handle, followed by another write that is not the next
contiguous byte, this counter is incremented by one.
Write Packets Small/sec The rate at which writes are made by
applications that are less than one-fourth of the server's negotiated buffer
size. Too many of these could indicate a waste of buffers on the server.
This counter is incremented once for each write: counting writes, not
packets.
Write Packets/sec The rate at which writes are being sent to the
network. Each time a single packet is sent with a request to write remote
data, this counter is incremented by one.
Writes Denied/sec The rate at which the server is unable to
accommodate requests for Raw Writes. When a write is much larger than
the server's negotiated buffer size, the Redirector requests a Raw Write
which, if granted, would permit the transfer of the data without lots of
protocol overhead on each packet. To accomplish this, the server must
lock out other requests, so the request is denied if the server is really busy.
Writes Large/sec The rate at which writes are made by applications that
are over two times the server's negotiated buffer size. Too many of these
could place a strain on server resources. This counter is incremented once
for each write, counting writes, not packets.
Browser
Announcements Domain/sec The rate at which a Domain has announced
itself to the network.

Announcements Server/sec The rate at which the servers in this domain
have announced themselves to this server.

servers that have been processed by this workstation.
Cache
Aync Copy Reads/sec The frequency of reads from pages of the file
system cache that involve a memory copy of the data from the cache to the
application's buffer. The application regains control immediately even if
the disk must be accessed to retrieve the page.
Aync Data Maps/sec The frequency that an application using a file
system, such as NTFS, to map a page of a file into the file system cache to
read the page does not wait for the page to be retrieved if it is not in main
memory.
Aync Fast Reads/sec The frequency of reads from the file system cache
that bypass the installed file system and retrieve the data directly from the
cache. Normally, file I/O requests invoke the appropriate file system to
retrieve data from a file, but this path permits data to be retrieved from
the cache directly, without file system involvement, if the data is in the
cache. Even if the data is not in the cache, one invocation of the file
system is avoided. If the data is not in the cache, the request (application
program call) will not wait until the data has been retrieved from disk, but
will get control immediately.
Async MDL Reads/sec The frequency of reads from the file system cache
that use a Memory Descriptor List (MDL) to access the pages. The
MDL contains the physical address of each page in the transfer, thus
permitting Direct Memory Access (DMA) of the pages. If the accessed
page(s) are not in main memory, the calling application program will not
wait for the pages to fault in from disk.
Async Pin Reads/sec The frequency of reading data into the file system
cache preparatory to writing the data back to disk. Pages read in this
fashion are pinned in memory at the completion of the read. The file
system regains control immediately even if the disk must be accessed to
retrieve the page. While pinned, a page's physical address will not be
altered.
155
Copy Read Hits % The percentage of cache copy read requests that hit
the cache, that is, they did not require a disk read to provide access to the
page in the cache. A copy read is a file read operation that is satisfied by a
memory copy from a page in the cache to the application's buffer. The
LAN Redirector uses this method for retrieving information from the
cache, as does the LAN Server for small transfers. This method is also
used by the disk file systems.
Copy Reads/sec The frequency of reads from pages of the file system
cache that involve a memory copy of the data from the cache to the
application's buffer. The LAN Redirector uses this method for retrieving
information from the file system cache, as does the LAN Server for small
transfers. This method is also used by the disk file systems.
Data Flush Pages/sec The number of pages the file system cache has
flushed to disk as a result of a request to flush or to satisfy a write-through

file write request. More than one page can be transferred on each flush
operation.
Data Flushes/sec The rate at which the file system cache has flushed its
contents to disk as the result of a request to flush or to satisfy a writethrough file write request. More than one page can be transferred on
each flush operation.
Data Map Hits % The percentage of data maps in the file system cache
that could be resolved without having to retrieve a page from the disk,
because the page was already in physical memory.
Data Map Pins/sec The frequency of data maps in the file system cache
that resulted in pinning a page in main memory, an action usually

preparatory to writing to the file on disk. While pinned, a page's physical
address in main memory and virtual address in the file system cache will
not be altered.
Data Maps/sec The frequency that a file system such as NTFS, maps a
page of a file into the file system cache to read the page.
Fast Read Not Possibles/sec The frequency of attempts by an
Application Program Interface (API) function call to bypass the file

system to get to data in the file system cache that could not be honored
without invoking the file system.
156
Fast Read Resource Misses/sec The frequency of cache misses
necessitated by the lack of available resources to satisfy the request.

Fast Reads/sec The frequency of reads from the file system cache that
bypass the installed file system and retrieve the data directly from the
retrieve data from a file, but this path permits direct retrieval of data from
the cache without file system involvement if the data is in the cache.
Lazy Write Flushes/sec The rate at which the Lazy Writer thread has
written to disk. Lazy Writing is the process of updating the disk after the
page has been changed in memory, so that the application that changed
the file does not have to wait for the disk write to be complete before
proceeding. More than one page can be transferred by each write
operation.
Lazy Write Pages/sec The rate at which the Lazy Writer thread has
written to disk. Lazy Writing is the process of updating the disk after the
page has been changed in memory, so that the application that changed
the file does not have to wait for the disk write to be complete before
proceeding. More than one page can be transferred on a single disk write
operation.
MDL Read Hits % The percentage of Memory Descriptor List (MDL)
Read requests to the file system cache that hit the cache, i.e., did not
require disk accesses to provide memory access to the pages in the cache.
MDL Reads/sec The frequency of reads from the file system cache that
use a Memory Descriptor List (MDL) to access the data. The MDL
contains the physical address of each page involved in the transfer, and
thus can employ a hardware Direct Memory Access (DMA) device to
effect the copy. The LAN Server uses this method for large transfers out
of the server.
Pin Reads Hits % The percentage of pin read requests that hit the file
system cache, i.e., did not require a disk read to provide access to the page
in the file system cache. While pinned, a page's physical address in the
file system cache will not be altered. The LAN Redirector uses this
method for retrieving data from the cache, as does the LAN Server for
small transfers. This is usually the method used by the disk file systems as
well.
157
Pin Reads/sec The frequency of reading data into the file system cache
preparatory to writing the data back to disk. Pages read in this fashion are
pinned in memory at the completion of the read. While pinned, a page's
physical address in the file system cache will not be altered.
Read Aheads/sec The frequency of reads from the file system cache in
which the Cache detects sequential access to a file. The read aheads
permit the data to be transferred in larger blocks than those being
requested by the application, reducing the overhead per access.
Sync Copy Reads/sec The frequency of reads from pages of the file
system cache that involve a memory copy of the data from the cache to the
application's buffer. The file system will not regain control until the copy
operation is complete, even if the disk must be accessed to retrieve the
page.
Sync Data Maps/sec The frequency that a file system, such as NTFS,
maps a page of a file into the file system cache to read the page, and waits
for the page to be retrieved if it is not in main memory.
Sync Fast Reads/sec The frequency of reads from the file system cache
that bypass the installed file system and retrieve the data directly from the
retrieve data from a file, but this path permits direct retrieval of data from
the cache without file system involvement if the data is in the cache.
Sync MDL Reads/sec The frequency of reads from the file system cache
that use a Memory Descriptor List (MDL) to access the pages. The
MDL contains the physical address of each page in the transfer, thus
permitting Direct Memory Access (DMA) of the pages. If the accessed
page(s) are not in main memory, the caller waits for the pages to fault in
from the disk.
Sync Pin Reads/sec The frequency of reading data into the file system
cache preparatory to writing the data back to disk. Pages read in this
fashion are pinned in memory at the completion of the read. The file
system will not regain control until the page is pinned in the file system
cache, in particular if the disk must be accessed to retrieve the page.
While pinned, a page's physical address in the file system cache will not be
altered.
158
Processor
% DPC Time The percentage of time that the processor spent receiving
and servicing deferred procedure calls (DPCs) during the sample

interval. (DPCs are interrupts that run at a lower priority than standard
interrupts). This counter displays the average busy time as a percentage
of the sample time. It is a component of % Privileged Time because
DPCs are executed in privileged mode. They are counted separately and
are not a component of the interrupt counters.
% Interrupt Time The percentage of time the processor spent receiving
and servicing hardware interrupts during the sample interval. This
counter displays the average busy time as a percentage of the sample time.
This value is an indirect indicator of the activity of devices that generate
interrupts, such as the system clock, the mouse, disk drivers, data
communication lines, network interface cards and other peripheral
devices. These devices normally interrupt the processor when they have
completed a task or require attention, suspending normal thread
execution. Most system clocks interrupt the processor every ten
milliseconds, creating a background of interrupt activity.
% Privileged Time The percentage of non-idle processor time spent in
privileged mode. (Privileged mode is a processing mode designed for
operating system components and hardware-manipulating drivers to allow
direct access to hardware and memory. The alternative, user mode, is a
restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment
subsystems, and integral subsystems. The operating system switches
application threads to privileged mode to access operating system
services). % Privileged Time includes time servicing interrupts and
DPCs. A high rate of privileged time might be attributable to a large
number of interrupts generated by a failing device. This counter displays
the average busy time as a percentage of the sample time.
% Processor Time The percentage of time that the processor is executing
a non-Idle thread. This counter was is a primary indicator of processor

activity. It is calculated by measuring the time that the processor spends
executing the thread of the Idle process in each sample interval, and
subtracting that value from 100%. (Each processor has an Idle thread
which consumes cycles when no other threads are ready to run.) It can be
viewed as the percentage of the sample interval spent doing useful work.
159
This counter displays the average percentage of busy time observed

during the sample interval and is calculated by monitoring the time the
service was inactive, and subtracting that value from 100%.
% User Time The percentage of non-idle processor time spent in user
mode. (User mode is a restricted processing mode designed for
applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems. The
alternative, privileged mode, is designed for operating system components
and allows direct access to hardware and memory. The operating system
switches application threads to privileged mode to access operating system
services). This counter displays the average busy time as a percentage of
the sample time.
APC Bypasses/sec The rate at which Kernel APC interrupts were
avoided. APC Bypasses/sec is the rate at which kernel APC interrupts
were short-circuited. It displays the difference between the values
observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample
interval.
DPC Bypasses/sec The rate at which deferred procedure calls (DPCs)
on all processors were avoided. (DPCs are interrupts that run at a lower
priority than standard interrupts). This counter displays the difference
between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the
duration of the sample interval.
DPC Rate The rate at which deferred procedure calls (DPCs) are added
to the processor's DPC queue between the timer ticks of the processor
clock. (DPCs are interrupts that run at a lower priority than standard
interrupts. Each processor has its own DPC queue). This counter
measures the rate at which DPCs are added to the queue, not the number
of DPCs in the queue. It displays the last observed value only; it is not an
average.
DPCs Queued/sec The overall rate at which deferred procedure calls
(DPCs) are added to the processor's DPC queue. (DPCs are interrupts
that run at a lower priority than standard interrupts. Each processor has
its own DPC queue). This counter measures the rate at which DPCs are
added to the queue, not the number of DPCs in the queue. This counter
displays the difference between the values observed in the last two
samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.
160
Interrupts/sec The average number of hardware interrupts the processor
is receiving and servicing in each second. It does not include DPCs,

which are counted separately. This value is an indirect indicator of the
activity of devices that generate interrupts, such as the system clock, the
mouse, disk drivers, data communication lines, network interface cards
and other peripheral devices. These devices normally interrupt the
processor when they have completed a task or require attention,
suspending normal thread execution. Most system clocks interrupt the
processor every ten milliseconds, creating a background of interrupt
activity. This counter displays the difference between the values observed
in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.
Memory
% Committed Bytes in Use The ratio of Memory: Committed Bytes to
Memory: Commit Limit. (Committed memory is physical memory in
use for which space has been reserved in the paging file should it need to
be written to disk. The commit limit is determined by the size of the
paging file. If the paging file is enlarged, the commit limit increases, and
the ratio is reduced). This counter displays the current percentage value
only; it is not an average.
Available Bytes The amount of physical memory, in bytes, available to
processes running on the computer/ It is calculated by summing space on
the Zeroed, Free, and Stand by memory lists. Free memory is ready for
use; Zeroed memory are pages of memory filled with zeros to prevent later
processes from seeing data used by a previous process. Standby memory is
memory removed from a process' working set (its physical memory) on
route to disk, that is still available to be recalled. This counter displays the
last observed value only; it is not an average.
Available KBytes The amount of physical memory available to processes
running on the computer, in Kilobytes (Bytes / 1,024). It is calculated by

summing space on the Zeroed, Free, and Stand by memory lists. Free
memory is ready for use; Zeroed memory are pages of memory filled with
zeros to prevent later processes from seeing data used by a previous
process. Standby memory is memory removed from a process' working set
(its physical memory) on route to disk, that is still available to be recalled.
This counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.
161
Available MBytes The amount of physical memory, in megabytes,
available to processes running on the computer. It is calculated by

summing space on the Zeroed, Free, and Stand by memory lists. Free
memory is ready for use; zeroed memory are pages of memory filled with
zeros to prevent later processes from seeing data used by a previous
process. Standby memory is memory removed from a process' working set
(its physical memory) on route to disk, that is still available to be recalled.
Cache Bytes The sum of the System Cache Resident Bytes, System
Driver Resident Bytes, System Code Resident Bytes, and Pool Paged
Resident Bytes counters. This counter displays the last observed value
Cache Bytes Peak The maximum value of Cache Bytes since the system
was last restarted. This value might be larger than the current size of the
cache. Cache Bytes is the sum of the System Cache Resident Bytes,
System Driver Resident Bytes, System Code Resident Bytes, and Pool
Paged Resident Bytes counters. This counter displays the last observed
value only; it is not an average.
Cache Faults/sec The number of faults that occur when a page sought
in the file system cache is not found and must be retrieved either from
elsewhere in memory (a soft fault) or from disk (a hard fault). The file
system cache is an area of physical memory that stores recently used pages
of data for applications. Cache activity is a reliable indicator of most
application I/O operations. This counter counts the number of faults,
without regard for the number of pages faulted in each operation.
Commit Limit The amount of virtual memory, in bytes, that can be
committed without having to extend the paging file(s). (Committed
memory is physical memory for which space has been reserved on the disk
paging files. There can be one paging file on each logical drive). If the
paging file(s) are expanded, this limit increases accordingly. This counter
displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.
Committed Bytes The amount of committed virtual memory, in bytes.
(Committed memory is physical memory for which space has been
reserved on the disk paging file in case it needs to be written back to
disk). This counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an
average.
162
Demand Zero Faults/sec The number of page faults that require a zeroed
page to satisfy the fault. Zeroed pages, pages emptied of previously stored
data and filled with zeros, are a security feature of Windows NT. They
prevent processes from seeing data stored by earlier processes that used
the memory space. Windows NT maintains a list of zeroed pages to
accelerate this process. This counter counts numbers of faults, without
regard to the numbers of pages retrieved to satisfy the fault. This counter
Free System Page Table Entries The number of page table entries not
being used by the system. This counter displays the last observed value
Page Faults/sec The overall rate faulted pages are handled by the
processor. It is measured in numbers of pages faulted per second. A page
fault occurs when a process requires code or data that is not in its working
set (its space in physical memory). This counter includes both hard faults
(those that require disk access) and soft faults (where the faulted page is
found elsewhere in physical memory). Most processors can handle large
numbers of soft faults without consequence. However, hard faults can
cause significant delays. This counter displays the difference between the
values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the
sample interval.
Pages Input/sec The number of pages read from disk to resolve hard
page faults. (Hard page faults occur when a process requires code or data
that is not in its working set or elsewhere in physical memory, and must be
retrieved from disk). This counter was designed as a primary indicator of
the kinds of faults that cause system-wide delays. It includes pages
retrieved to satisfy faults in the file system cache (usually requested by
applications) and in non-cached mapped memory files. This counter
counts numbers of pages, and can be compared to other counts of pages,
such as Memory: Page Faults/sec, without conversion. This counter
Pages Output/sec The number of pages written to disk to free up space
in physical memory. Pages are written back to disk only if they are
changed in physical memory, so they are likely to hold data, not code. A
163
high rate of pages output might indicate a memory shortage. Windows

NT writes more pages back to disk to free up space when physical
memory is in short supply. This counter counts numbers of pages, and
can be compared to other counts of pages, without conversion. It displays
the difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided
by the duration of the sample interval.
Page Reads/sec The number of times the disk was read to resolve hard
page faults. (Hard page faults occur when a process requires code or data
that is not in its working set or elsewhere in physical memory, and must be
retrieved from disk). This counter was designed as a primary indicator of
the kinds of faults that cause system-wide delays. It includes reads to
satisfy faults in the file system cache (usually requested by applications)
and in non-cached mapped memory files. It counts numbers of read
operations, without regard to the numbers of pages retrieved by each
operation. This counter displays the difference between the values
interval.
Page Writes/sec The number of times pages were written to disk to free
up space in physical memory. Pages are written to disk only if they are
changed while in physical memory, so they are likely to hold data, not
code. It counts write operations, without regard to the number of pages
written in each operation. This counter displays the difference between
the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the
sample interval.
Pages/sec The number of pages read from or written to disk to resolve
hard page faults. (Hard page faults occur when a process requires code
or data that is not in its working set or elsewhere in physical memory, and
must be retrieved from disk). This counter was designed as a primary
indicator of the kinds of faults that cause system-wide delays. It is the
sum of Memory: Pages Input/sec and Memory: Pages Output/sec. It is
counted in numbers of pages, so it can be compared to other counts of
pages, such as Memory: Page Faults/sec, without conversion. It includes
pages retrieved to satisfy faults in the file system cache (usually requested
by applications) non-cached mapped memory files. This counter displays
164

nonpaged pool. The nonpaged pool is an area of system memory for

objects that cannot be written to disk, and must remain in physical
memory as long as they are allocated. It is measured in numbers of calls
to allocate space, regardless of the amount of space allocated in each call.
Pool Nonpaged Bytes The number of bytes in the nonpaged pool, an
area of system memory (physical memory used by the operating system)

for objects that cannot be written to disk, but must remain in physical
memory as long as they are allocated. Memory: Pool Nonpaged Bytes is
calculated differently than Process: Pool Nonpaged Bytes, so it might not
equal Process: Pool Nonpaged Bytes: _Total. This counter displays the
Pool Paged Allocs The number of calls to allocate space in the paged
pool. The paged pool is an area of system memory (physical memory
used by the operating system) for objects that can be written to disk when
they are not being used. It is measured in numbers of calls to allocate
space, regardless of the amount of space allocated in each call. This
counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.
Pool Paged Bytes The number of bytes in the paged pool, an area of
system memory (physical memory used by the operating system) for

objects that can be written to disk when they are not being used.
Memory: Pool Paged Bytes is calculated differently than Process: Pool
Paged Bytes, so it might not equal Process: Pool Paged Bytes: _Total.
Pool Paged Resident Bytes The current size of paged pool in bytes.
The
paged pool is an area of system memory (physical memory used by the
operating system) for objects that can be written to disk when they are not
being used. Space used by the paged and nonpaged pools are taken from
physical memory, so a pool that is too large denies memory space to
processes. This counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an
average.
System Cached Resident Bytes The number of bytes from the file system
cache that are resident in physical memory. This value includes only
current physical pages and does not include any virtual memory pages not
currently resident. As such this value may be smaller than the actual
165
amount of virtual memory in use by the file system cache. This value is a
component of Memory: System Code Resident Bytes. This counter
displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.
System Code Resident Bytes The number of bytes of operating system
code currently in physical memory that can be written to disk when not in
use. This value is a component of System Code Total Bytes, which also
includes operating system code on disk. System Code Resident Bytes and
System Code Total Bytes do not include code that must remain in
physical memory and cannot be written to disk. This counter displays the
System Code Total Bytes The number of bytes of pageable operating
system code currently in virtual memory. It is a measure of the amount of

physical memory being used by the operating system that can be written to
disk when not in use. This value is calculated by summing the bytes in
Ntoskrnl.exe, Hal.dll, the boot drivers, and file systems loaded by
Ntldr/osloader. This counter does not include code that must remain in
physical memory and cannot be written to disk. It displays the last
observed value only; it is not an average.
System Driver Resident Bytes The number of bytes of pageable physical
memory being used by device drivers. It is the working set (physical

memory area) of the drivers. This value is a component of Memory:
System Driver Total Bytes, which also includes driver memory that has
been written to disk. Neither System Driver Resident Bytes nor System
Driver Total Bytes includes memory that cannot be written to disk.
System Driver Resident Bytes The number of bytes of pageable virtual
memory currently being used by device drivers. (Pageable memory can

be written to disk when it is not being used). It includes physical memory
(Memory: System Driver Resident Bytes) and code and data paged to
disk. It is a component of Memory: System Code Total Bytes. This
counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.
Transition Faults/sec The number of page faults resolved by recovering
pages that were on the modified page list, on the standby list, or being
written to disk at the time of the page fault. The pages were recovered
without additional disk activity. Transition faults are counted in numbers
of faults, without regard for the number of pages faulted in each
operation. This counter displays the difference between the values
166
interval.
Write Copies/sec The number of page faults caused by attempts to write
that have been satisfied by coping the page from elsewhere in physical
memory. This is an economical way of sharing data since pages are only
copied when they are written to; otherwise, the page is shared. This
counter counts the number of copies, without regard for the number of
pages copied in each operation. It displays the difference between the
values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the
sample interval.

multiple processors. Unlike the disk counters, this counter counts ready
threads only, not threads that are running. A sustained processor queue
of greater than two threads generally indicates processor congestion.
System Calls/sec The combined rate of calls to Windows NT system
service routines by all processes running on the computer. These routines

perform all of the basic scheduling and synchronization of activities on the
computer, and provide access to non-graphic devices, memory
management, and name space management. This counter displays the
difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by
the duration of the sample interval.

discarded due to errors in their IP headers, including bad checksums,
187
version number mismatch, other format errors, time-to-live exceeded,

errors discovered in processing their IP options, etc.

sent to the interfaces, including those in error. Any forwarded datagrams

are not included in this rate.
Fragment Reassembly Failures The number of failures detected by the IP
re-assembly algorithm (timed out, errors, etc). This is not necessarily a

count of discarded IP fragments since some algorithms (notably RFC
815) can lose track of the number of fragments by combining them as
they are received.
Fragmentation Failures The number of IP datagrams that have been
discarded because they needed to be fragmented at this entity but could
not be, e.g., because their 'Don't Fragment' flag was set.
