Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Cache flush requests	Indicates the total number of cache flush requests (for the locator service) that were received successfully during the last measurement period.	Number	A high value of this measure may indicate that the caching algorithm is not optimized, or that the data is changing too frequently.
Failed cache flush requests	Indicates the total number of cache flush requests (for the locator service) that were unsuccessful for any reason during the last measurement period.	Number	The requests may be unsuccessful due to reasons such as invalid cache entry for the request, cache may not be flushed due to incorrect cache state etc. A high value for this measure indicates a problem with the LocatorService cache, or a problem with the connection to CONFIG_DB. For information about the cause, review the event log for errors.
