Oracle performance

What it means

The following metrics are available in the performance monitor and the reports with the following definitions:

Elapsed – Elapsed time since the start of the performance test.

Active – Total number of running user sessions.

Passed – Total number of passed user sessions. A passed user session is a user session that did not receive an error during the test.

Note: The status passed does not automatically imply that the test succeeded. You are strongly advised to analyze/verify the test results.

Failed – Total number of failed user sessions.

Response time – The time between sending a request to the application server and receiving a response from the application server.

Performance – The relation between the cumulative response time during the test and the cumulative response time during script creation.
A performance more than 100% means that the cumulative response time during the test was less than the cumulative response time during script creation.
A performance less than 100% means that the cumulative response time during the test was more than the cumulative response time during script creation.

Requests (http) – number of requests sent to application server.

Requests per second – average number of requests per second for the last five seconds.

Connections (http) – total number of socket connection setups during the test.

Cumulative connection setup time (sec) – total amount of time elapsed for setting up the socket connections.

Throughput Inbound (kB) – Total amount of data received from application server.

Throughput Outbound (kB) – Total amount of data sent to application server.

Cumulative response time (sec) – Sum of the response time of the network requests during the test.

Cumulative recorded response time (sec) - Sum of the response time of the http requests during script creation. This statistic is called the performance reference or baseline.

Performance (active) – The performance of the active (running) sessions only.

Performance (passed) – The performance of the passed user sessions only.

Performance (overall) – The performance of all user sessions.

Response time delay per request (msec) – Average difference between the recorded response time and the response time during the test for all network requests over the last five seconds.

Average net response time delay per request (msec) – Average difference between the recorded response time and the respone time during the test for all network requests (in milliseconds).

Average gross response time delay per request (msec) – Equal to the average net response time delay per request but without negative delays (in milliseconds). This metric is always positive and focused only on the ‘real’ delays.
