CA APM siteminder metrics

[Kodandasai]

We want to know the details/logic of the metrics how the following are calculating the count.

The metrics include,
1. Operation responses per interval
2. operations average response time
3. isprotected responses per interval
4. authorize responses per interval
5. Login responses per interval
6. validate responses per interval

 

Thanks in Advance!

Hi,

 

please consult the CA APM for Siteminder documentation:

 

For Web Agents:

Operations

These metrics are provided for each resource listed in the table in this section:

• Average Response Time (ms)—Average time in milliseconds spent on a particular operation by the web agent.
• Errors Per Interval—Number of errors per interval for a particular operation in a web agent.
• Failures Per Interval—Number of failures per interval for a particular operation in a web agent.
• Responses Per Interval—Number of responses per interval by a web agent for a particular operation.

Metric Notes

• SiteMinder Manager|Web Agents|<WebAgent Name>|Operations|Authorize: Authorize describes counters relating to user authorization.
• SiteMinder Manager|Web Agents|<WebAgent Name>|Operations|IsProtected: IsProtected describes counters relating to an agent calling on the policy server to determine if a resource is protected or not. Failures Per Interval metric is not available for IsProtected.
• SiteMinder Manager|Web Agents|<WebAgent Name>|Operations|Login: Login describes counters relating to user authentication.
• SiteMinder Manager|Web Agents|<WebAgent Name>|Operations|Validation: Validation describes counters relating to user session validation (single signon).

 

For Policy Servers:

Operations

These metrics are provided for each resource listed in the table in this section:

•   Average Response Time (ms)—Average time in milliseconds taken by Policy Server to process a single operation call. The operation may be related to Login, Logout, Validate, IsProtected, or Authorize.
• Errors Per Interval—Number of failures occurred per interval when Policy Server is processing an operation call.
• Responses Per Interval—Number of successes occurred per interval when Policy Server is processing an operation call.

Metric Notes

• SiteMinder|Policy Server|<PSHost>|Operations|Authorize: Metrics regarding the response time and errors related to authorize operations.
• SiteMinder|Policy Server|<PSHost>|Operations|IsProtected: Metrics regarding the response time and errors encountered when checking to see if a resource is protected.
• SiteMinder|Policy Server|<PSHost>|Operations|Login: Metrics regarding the response time and errors encountered when users attempt to log in to the system.
• SiteMinder|Policy Server|<PSHost>|Operations|Logout: Metrics regarding the response time and errors encountered when users attempt to log out of the system.
• SiteMinder|Policy Server|<PSHost>|Operations|Validate: Metrics regarding the response time and errors encountered when users are validated on the system.
