After you schedule or run an on-demand throughput test in Manage, you can view the Viewing Throughput Results in Floor Plan or table format. To view throughput test results in a table format,
Step 1: Navigate to Administration > Diagnostics.
Step 2: Click the Throughput Test Results tab in the Diagnostics window.
Step 3: Select a Test from the drop-down list of tests to view the summarized results. Most tests will contain multiple phases of different packet send rates. The Test name refers to the test name automatically provided by the system while running the throughput test.
Manage assesses the Packet Error Rate (PER) results of the initial phase. If unacceptable, it decreases the send rate. If the PER is acceptable, it increases the send rate. Manage attempts to find the highest rate with an Acceptable PER. The Result column shows whether each phase was Unacceptable, Acceptable, or Best Acceptable.
The following results are displayed:
- Packets Send Rate per Sensor – Number of packets sent per minute by each sensor.
- Percentage of Sensors That Failed to Start Test – Of all the sensors scheduled to be in the test, the percentage that did not confirm receiving the test command or failed to get any packets to Manage.
- Aggregate Packet Send Rate – Total number of packets sent per second.
- Aggregate Throughput – Total number of packets received per second.
- Aggregate Packet Error Rate (PER) – Total number of packets sent minus the total number of packets received, divided by the total number of packets sent.
- Result – Acceptable: PER at the phase’s Packet Send Rate per Sensor is acceptable.
- Unacceptable: PER at the phase’s Packet Send Rate per Sensor is not acceptable.
- Best Acceptable: The highest Packet Send Rate per Sensor at which the PER is acceptable. This phase indicates the Aggregate Throughput of the sensors in your test.
- Max. GW PER – The gateway with the maximum PER of all GWs included in the test.
- Min GW PER – The gateway with the minimum PER of all GWs included in the test.
- Median GW PER – Half of the gateways in the test had a higher PER, and half of the gateways in the test had a lower PER.
- Max Sensor PER – The sensor with the maximum PER of all sensors included in the test.
- Min Sensor PER – The sensor with the minimum PER of all sensors included in the test.
- Median Sensor PER – Half of the sensors in the test had a higher PER, and half of the sensors in the test had a lower PER.
In addition to showing a Test Summary, the test results are displayed for each sensor and aggregated for each gateway. To view results by a gateway, click the By Gateway tab. The gateways displayed are filtered by the selected facility in the facility tree. You can filter the results by Test Name, Packet Send Rate, and Gateway.
