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 counts as an incoming packet). This attribute is the 64-bit version of Packets Received/Sec. Note: the value 9223372036854775807 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -9223372036854775808 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

If a read is made using a particular file handle, and then is followed by another read that is not immediately the contiguous next byte, this counter is incremented by one. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Read Packets Small/sec The rate at which reads less than one-fourth of the server 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.

Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

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.

Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

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 a lot of protocol overhead on each packet. To accomplish this, the server must lock out other requests, therefore the request is denied if the server is very busy. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Reads Large/sec The rate at which reads more than twice the negotiated buffer size of the server 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. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Server Disconnects The number of times a server has disconnected your redirector. (See also Server Reconnects.)

Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

Server Reconnects The number of times your redirector has had to reconnect to a server in order 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 keeps your connections intact for (nominally) 10 minutes. Such inactive connections are called Dormant Connections. Reconnecting is expensive in time. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

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 establishes one connection, but two sessions. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

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. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. Note: the value 2147483647 indicates Value_Exceeds_Maximum and the value -2147483648 indicates Value_Exceeds_Minimum.

System Name The managed system name. The form should be hostname:agent_code.

Examples include spark:KNT or deux.raleigh.ibm.com:KNT.

In workspace queries, this attribute should be set equal to the value $NODE$ in order to populate the workspace with data. This attribute is generally not included in situations, unless there is a need to customize the situation for a specific managed system.

Timestamp The date and time the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server samples the data.

Write Bytes Cache/sec The rate at which applications on your computer are writing to the file system cache by using the redirector. 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. Each write of a byte in to the cache is counted here. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions.
