16. Request Management Counters
Counter name
Connections Current
Connections Reused / Sec
Routed Requests / Sec
Throttled Requests / Sec
Failed Requests / Sec
Average Processing Time
Last Ping Latency
Connection Endpoints Current
Routed Requests Current
Description
The total number of connections that are
currently open by Request Manager.
The number of connections per second that
are reused when the same client connection
makes another request without closing the
connection.
The number of routed requests per
second. The instance determines the
application pool and server for which this
counter tracks.
The number of throttled requests per second.
The number of failed requests per second.
The time to process the request that is, the
time to evaluate all the rules and determine a
routing target.
The last ping latency (that is, Request
Manager's PING feature) and the instance
determine which application pool and machine
target.
The total number of endpoints that are
connected for all active connections.
The number of unfinished routed requests. The
instance determines which application pool and
machine target.
