LDAP view

To display this view, enable the LDAP Group in the Directory Services section of the Metrics Management dashboard. When this collection group is enabled, this view is added to the Directory Services navigation tab in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

 
Table 60. LDAP view
Description

This view displays additional LDAP metrics for the selected DC which are gathered when the LDAP collection group is enabled.

Data displayed

LDAP Active Threads. This graph charts the current number of threads in used by the LDAP subsystem of the local directory service. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

 

LDAP Connections/sec. This graph charts the following metrics:

•
LDAP Closed Connections/sec. Shows the number of LDAP connections that have been closed in the last second.
•
LDAP New Connections/sec. Shows the number of new LDAP connections that have arrived in the last second.
•
LDAP New SSL Connections/sec. Shows the number of new SSL or TLS connections that arrived in the last second.
 

LDAP Successful Binds/sec. This graph charts the number of LDAP binds being performed per second. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

 

LDAP UDP Operations/sec. This graph charts the number of UDP operations the LDAP service is processing per second. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

 

LDAP Writes/sec. This graph charts the rate at which LDAP clients perform write operations per second. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

Clicking a graph in this view displays a metrics popup that describes the counters, provides more detailed data points, and lists current alarms for the selected metric.

Memory view

This embedded view is part of the Resource Utilization Details view. To display this view, select the Resource Utilization title or Details link (upper right corner) at the top of the Resource Utilization view for an individual DC in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

 
Table 61. Memory view
Description

This view displays memory utilization metrics for the selected DC. The counters and indicators change colors based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Data displayed

Available Bytes. Displays the amount of memory (in MB) available.

 

Committed Bytes. Displays the percent of total bytes committed.

 

Memory Available and Consumed. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

•
Memory Capacity. Shows the maximum or minimum amount of memory a computer or hardware device is capable of having.
•
Memory Consumed. Shows the amount of memory being used.
 

Page Rate/sec. The counter displays the rate at which pages are currently being read from or written to memory in order to resolve hard page faults.

 

Memory Pages/sec. This graph charts the rate at which pages are read from or written to memory in order to resolve hard page faults for the specified time interval.

 

Memory Cache Bytes. This graph charts the size of the file system cache. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

 

Memory Pool Paged and Non Paged Bytes. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

•
Memory\Pool Paged Bytes. Shows the portion of shared system memory that can be paged to the disk paging file.
•
Memory\Pool Non Paged Bytes. Shows the portion of physical memory that can be accessed from any address space without incurring paging I/O.
 

.NET® CLR Exceptions Thrown/sec. This graph charts the number of exceptions thrown per second during the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the defined warning, critical and fatal levels.

 

.NET CLR Percent Time in Garbage Collection. This graph charts the percentage of time being spent performing garbage collections during the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the defined warning, critical and fatal levels.

 

.NET CLR Memory Bytes in All Heaps. This graph charts the memory usage by all managed resources during the specified time interval. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.

Network view

This embedded view is part of the Resource Utilization Details view. To display this view, select the Resource Utilization title or Details link (upper right corner) at the top of the Resource Utilization view for an individual DC in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

 
Table 62. Network view
Description

This view displays network utilization metrics for the selected DC. The counters and indicators change colors based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Data displayed

Network Interface. Displays a list of network interfaces available on the selected DC. Selecting a network interface in this view displays the following metrics for the selected interface.

 
•
Available Bandwidth. This counter displays the current percentage of bandwidth that is available.
 
•
Bandwidth. This graph charts the network bandwidth (MB/sec) for the selected network interface. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.
 
•
Output Queue Length. This graph charts the length of the output queue over. It provides a comparison against the computed average for the specified time interval.
 
•
Send & Receive Rates. These pulse gauges display the rate at which data is sent and received over the selected network interface.
 
•
Packet Outbound Errors. This graph charts the number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted due to errors. It provides a comparison against the defined fatal, critical and warning levels.

Processor view

This embedded view is part of the Resource Utilization Details view. To display this view, select the Resource Utilization title or Details link (upper right corner) at the top of the Resource Utilization view for an individual DC in the Active Directory Explorer dashboard.

 
 
Table 63. Processor view
Description

This view displays processor utilization metrics for the selected DC. The counters and indicators in this view change color based on overall consumption or deviation from normal levels.

Data displayed

System\Processor Queue Length. This button indicates the number of threads each processor is currently servicing. This number should not be greater than five per processor.

Processor Queue Length can be used to identify when processor contention or high CPU utilization is caused by the processor capacity being insufficient to handle the assigned workload.

 

Percent Processor Time. This graph charts the following metrics over the specified time interval:

•
% User Time. Shows the percentage of time that is spent in user mode. User mode is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems.
•
% Privileged Time. Shows the percentage of time that is spent in privileged mode. Privilege mode is a processing mode designed for operating system components and hardware-manipulating drivers. It allows direct access to hardware and memory.
•
% Processor Time. Shows the percentage of time that the processor is executing application or operation system processes.
