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
Time in runtime checks	Indicates the percentage of elapsed time spent in performing runtime Code Access Security (CAS) checks during the last measurement period.	Percent	If this counter is high, revisit what is being checked and how often. The application may be executing unnecessary stack walk depths. Another cause for a high percentage of time spent in runtime checks could be numerous linktime checks.
Stack walk depth	Indicates the depth of the stack during that last measurement period.	Number
Link time checks	Indicates the total number of linktime Code Access Security (CAS) checks during the last measurement period.	Number	The value displayed is not indicative of serious performance issues, but it is indicative of the health of the security system activity.
Runtime checks	Indicates the total number of runtime CAS checks performed during the last measurement period.	Number	A high number for the total runtime checks along with a high stack walk depth indicates performance overhead.
