Class CIM_SWRIOStatistics
extends CIM_SWRStatistics

The metrics of SWRIOStatistics describe the transfer behavior of the software resource in one particular direction (input or the output). The transfer is basically the amount of data input to or output from the software resource during a sample interval in terms of technical units (e.g., kB) or domain-specific units (e.g., the number of items (e.g., the number of messages if the software resource is of the type 'queue'). The operational parameters regarding the allocation limits are surfaced also. Further details can be found in the description of the base class SWRStatistics. The metrics found in this statistics are raw values that describe the allocation behavior of the software resource as simple as possible. Thus, the metric values can be used most flexibly (e.g., cumulative, averaged, etc.). The drawback of the flexibility is that the likelyhood of required calculations - subsequent to retrieval of the values - increases in order to result in rates or statistical data needed for monitoring and reporting.

AverageTransferTimedatetime
DescriptionstringAverageTransferTime is the average time all counted transfers took during the sample interval. If the value is null no average can be provided. The initial value is 0.
CountOfActiveTransfersuint32
DescriptionstringCountOfActiveTransfers is a point metric and applies to the point in time of the end of the sample interval. It describes the number of in-progress transfers. This also includes pending, suspended, open and asynchronous requests that obviously have not been acknowledged to the requestor of the transfer. If the implementation of the resource is single process, single thread and synchronous (i.e., no internal queue), the number cannot be greater than 1 since no parallel requests can occur. A value of null indicates that no count is available. A value of 0 indicates no active requests. An increasing number indicates that the software resource hangs and a reinitialize() can solve the problem. The initial value is 0.
LastActivitydatetime
DescriptionstringLastActivity is the point in time at which the last transfer ended. The timestamp is 0 if CountOfActiveTransfers is greater than 0, i.e., at least one transfer is still in progress and, thus, the software resource is still active. Even if a transfer is still in progress, LastActivity can be a valid point in time, if the software resource is currently idle due to internal wait states or deadlocks. Thus, activity is defined as the software resource is actively carrying out inputs and outputs. LastActivity may refer to a point in time that is outside the sample interval. This is, the instrumentation internally keeps the timestamp during the lifetime of the software resource. The metric can be used to better quantify what happens at the interfaces of the software resource. The initial value is 0.
OtherTransferredQuantityuint32
DescriptionstringOtherTransferredQuantity describes the transfer size of the software resource in complementary units compared to AllocationLevel (e.g., domain-specific units like the number of items: buffered objects or pooled connections). The unit can be found at CIM_SWRStatistics.OtherUnit. The metric accumulates the transfer quantity over the sample interval. A value of null indicates that no quantity is available. The initial value is 0.

SuccessfulQuantityuint32
DescriptionstringSuccessfulQuantity specifies the successfully transferred amount of data to/from the software resource. It is the net amount in contrast to TransferredQuantity. The unit can be found at the CIM_SWRStatistics.Unit. The direction of the transfer can be found at the type of the statistics. If the value is null no number can be provided. The initial value is 0.
ModelCorrespondencestringCIM_SWRStatistics.Unit
SuccessfulTransfersuint32
DescriptionstringSuccessfulTransfers is the count of all transfers that could be executing fully (i.e., transfer all items requested) during the sample interval. If the value is null no number can be provided. In case of errors, the property can be used to quantify the quality with which the software resource works. The initial value is 0.
TransferredQuantityuint32
DescriptionstringTransferredQuantity describes the quantity transferred to/from the software resource in units corresponding to the type of the statistics (e.g., technical based on Kilobytes). The unit can be found at the CIM_SWRStatistics.Unit. The direction of the transfer can be found at the type of the statistics. The metric accumulates the transfer quantity over the sample interval and is the gross amount of data transferred to/from the software resource. A value of null indicates that no quantity is available. The value is 0 if no transfer happened or all transfers where empty. (Note that this must be true for both the request and the response). The corresponding limits are expected to be a rate. One method to detect limit violations require the division of TransferredQuantity by the sample interval in order to result in rate that then can be compared to the corresponding limit. The initial value is 0.

Transfersuint32
DescriptionstringTransfers is the count of all transfers (sucessful or not) that happened during the sample interval. If the value is null no number can be provided. The initial value is 0.
