HTTP Service Attributes

Use HTTP Service attributes to monitor traffic and connection activity for an HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol) server, such as the current connections, the bytes received per second, and the total anonymous users connected. HTTP Service is a single-instance attribute group. HTTP Service attributes are only supported for Windows NT and earlier.


Bytes Received/sec The rate that data bytes are received by the HTTP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 25,000 bytes received per second by the HTTP server, enter 25000.

Bytes Sent/sec The rate that data bytes are sent by the HTTP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 35,000 bytes sent per second by the HTTP server, enter 35000.

Bytes Total/sec The sum of bytes sent per second and bytes received per second. This is the total rate of bytes transferred by the HTTP server. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 57,485 bytes as the total rate of bytes transferred by the HTTP server, enter 57485.
