This topic describes the metrics in the dashboard of TCP synthetic tasks.
Go to the Task Overview page
Log on to the ARMS console.
In the left-side navigation pane, choose Synthetic Monitoring > Scheduled Tests. On the Synthetic Tasks page, click the name of the task.
Task Overview Dashboard
Chart name | Description |
Availability | The success rate for the monitoring points of the synthetic monitoring task to access the destination. The availability is calculated based on the following formula: Availability = Number of successful monitoring actions / Total number of monitoring actions × 100%. In this formula, the number of successful monitoring actions refers to the monitoring actions that meet the assertion conditions. |
Average Latency | The time for a packet or packet to be transmitted from one end of the network to the other. The latency is determined by the routing conditions of the Internet and can be prolonged if the transmission channel is slow or congested, causing packet loss. |
Connection success rate | The percentage of synthetic tests with TCP connection established. |
Number of tests | The total number of synthetic tests during the specified time range. |
Number of errors | The number of failed synthetic tests during the specified time range. Failed synthetic tests are synthetic tests that do not meet the assertion conditions. |
Region Dial Test Overview | The key metrics of synthetic tests by region. |
Availability Trends | The availability trend during the specified time range. |
Connection Success Rate Trend | The connection success rate trend during the specified time range. |
City Dial Test Latency | The average latency trend of synthetic tests by city. |
Carrier Dial Test Delay | The average latency trend of synthetic tests by ISP. |
Tracert Delay | The average latency of all hops during the Tracert process. |
Tracert Hop | The number of network devices involved in the Tracert process. |
The city's slowest Top5 | Top five cities with the highest average latency. |
Slowest operators Top5 | Top five operators with the highest average latency. |
Error Type Top5 | Top five types of errors that occur in responses. |
Task analysis
The task analysis feature allows you to combine filter conditions and aggregate dimensions for real-time analysis based on all data on which synthetic tests have been performed. This feature helps meet requirements for custom monitoring in different scenarios. For more information, see Task analysis.
