ASP .Net App Cache Test

This test monitors the performance of the ASP.NET Application (or Application Domain) Cache.

Target of the test : An ASP .Net server

Agent deploying the test : An internal agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for every ASP .Net application/application domain cache on a monitored ASP .Net server.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed
Host	The IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.
Port	The port at which the specified Host listens.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Cache total entries	The current number of entries in the cache (both User and Internal).	Number
Cache hit ratio	The current hit-to-miss ratio of all cache requests (both user and internal).	Percent	Physical I/O takes a significant amount of time, and also increases the CPU resources required. The server configuration should therefore ensure that the required information is available on the memory. A low value of this measure indicates that physical I/O is greater.
Cache turnover rate	The number of additions and removals to the cache per second (both user and internal).	Cached/Sec	A high turnover rate indicates that items are being quickly added and removed, which can be expensive.
Cache api entries	The number of entries currently in the user cache.	Number
Cache user hit ratio	Total hit-to-miss ratio of user cache requests.	Percent	A high value of this measure is indicative of the good health of the server.
Cache user turnover rate	The number of additions and removals to the user cache per second.	Cached/Sec	A high turnover rate indicates that items are being quickly added and removed, which can be expensive.
Output cache entries	The number of entries currently in the Output Cache.	Number
Output cache hit ratio	The total hit-to-miss ratio of Output Cache requests	Percent	A high value of this measure is a sign of good health.
Output cache turnover rate	The number of additions and removals to the output cache per second	Cached/Sec	Output caching allows you to store dynamic page and user control responses on any HTTP 1.1 cache-capable device in the output stream, from the originating server to the requesting browser. On subsequent requests, the page or user control code is not executed; the cached output is used to satisfy the request Sudden increases in the value of this measure are indicative of backend latency.
