Redirector Affecting Server

This indication is sent when there is a high work item shortage, but bytes per second on the server are not exceeding the threshold, and bytes per second on the redirector are exceeding the threshold. This affects the percentage utilization of the network segment.

The indication has the following attributes:

WorkItemShortages
The number of times that work items cannot be allocated to service incoming requests to the server

RedirectorBPS
The number of bytes per second transferring through the redirector

CurrentBandWidth
The bandwidth of the network interface card

PercentNetworkUtil
The percentage of network utilization on the segment

NetworkSegment
The identity of the network segment being analyzed (Key attribute)

The indication is generated when the following thresholds are exceeded:

Threshold Description Default
High Percent Bytes Per Second (HighPercentBytesSec) To test for a high amount of bytes per second, a dynamic threshold value needs to be created based on the current bandwidth of the network interface card. Because there will be an internal dynamic calculation, the threshold value is a percentile that indicates what percentage of the bandwidth is considered too high. For example: 830 KBPS is considered high for 10 MB ethernet networks. This value is about 8 percent. The bytes per second through the redirector are greater than the number of bytes per second. This number is reached by multiplying the current bandwidth with this threshold, and dividing the result by 100.
9
High Percent Utilization (HighPercentUtilization) This threshold determines at what point the network utilization of the internal segment is too high.
40
High Work Item Shortages (HighWorkItemShortages) This occurs when no work item is available, or no work item can be allocated to service the incoming request. A work item is used when the server service receives a request. HighWorkItemShortages indicates that the initial work items or maximum work items parameters may need tuning.
