Server Attributes

Use the Server attributes to monitor connections and throughput between the local computer (Server/Redirector) and the network.


Blocking Requests Rejected The number of times the server has rejected blocking SMBs due to insufficient count of free work items. Indicates whether the MaxWorkItem or MinFreeWorkItems server parameters might need to be adjusted. Valid values are positive integers.

Bytes Received/sec The number of bytes the server has received from the network. Indicates how busy the server is. Valid values are positive integers.

Bytes Total/sec The number of bytes the server has sent to and received from the network. This value provides an overall indication of how busy the server is. Valid values are positive integers.

Bytes Transmitted/sec The number of bytes the server has sent on the network. Indicates how busy the server is. Valid values are positive integers.

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. Valid values are positive integers.

Errors Access Permissions The number of times opens on behalf of clients have failed with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. Can indicate whether somebody is randomly attempting to access files in hopes of getting at something that was not properly protected. Valid values are positive integers.

Errors Granted Access The number of times accesses to files opened successfully were denied. Can indicate attempts to access files without proper access authorization. Valid values are positive integers.

Errors Logon The number of failed logon attempts to the server.Can indicate whether password guessing programs are being used to crack the security on the server. Valid values are positive integers.

Errors System The number of times an internal Server Error was detected. Unexpected errors usually indicate a problem with the Server. Valid values are positive integers.

File Directory Searches The number of searches for files currently active in the server. Indicates current server activity. Valid values are positive integers.

Files Open The number of files currently opened in the server. Indicates current server activity. Valid values are positive integers.

Files Opened Total The number of successful open attempts performed by the server of behalf of clients. Useful in determining the amount of file I/O, determining overhead for path-based operations, and for determining the effectiveness of open locks. Valid values are positive integers.

Logon Total Includes all interactive logons, network logons, service logons, successful logon, and failed logons since the machine is last rebooted. Valid values are positive integers.

Logon/sec The rate of all server logons. Valid values are positive integers.

Pool Nonpaged Bytes The number of bytes of non-pageable computer memory the server is using. This value is useful for determining the values of the MaxNonpagedMemoryUsage value entry in the Windows NT Registry. Valid values are positive integers.

Pool Nonpaged Failures The number of times allocations from nonpaged pool have failed. Indicates that the computer's physical memory is too small. Valid values are positive integers.

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. Valid values are positive integers.

Pool Paged Bytes The number of bytes of pageable computer memory the server is currently using. Can help in determining good values for the MaxPagedMemoryUsage parameter. Valid values are positive integers.

Pool Paged Failures The number of times allocations from paged pool have failed. Indicates that the computer's physical memory or paging file are too small. Valid values are positive integers.

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. Valid values are positive integers.

Server Name The name of a server. Valid format is a text string of up to 64 characters.

Server Sessions The number of sessions currently active in the server. Indicates current server activity. Valid values are positive integers.

Sessions Errored Out The number of sessions that have been closed due to unexpected error conditions or sessions that have reached the autodisconnect timeout and have been disconnected normally. Valid values are positive integers.

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. Valid values are positive integers.

Sessions Logged Off The number of sessions that have terminated normally. Useful in interpreting the Sessions Times Out and Sessions Errored Out statistics, allows percentage calculations. Valid values are positive integers.

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. Valid values are positive integers.

Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Management Server samples the data. Date and time of the sample. Standard 16-character date/time format (CYYMMDDHHMMSSmmm), where:

C

Century (0 for 20th, 1 for 21st)

YY

Year

MM

Month

DD

Day

HH

Hour

MM

Minute

SS

Second

mmm

Millisecond

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 the InitWorkItems or MaxWorkItems parameters might need to be adjusted. Valid values are positive integers.
