Explanation of monitored criteria for web app portal

Question

As title said, we monitored several criterias in Web apps portal: CPU Time, Data In, Data Out, Memory, Average Response Time .etc.

Then after serveral days, we opened again the tab page, select the time range to '24 HOURS', and got some data. For example, as following:

So, I am quite confused what exactly mean of these items.

• What does CPU Time mean?
• I think I am looking at last 24 hours, but the time in seconds or miiliseconds, what does it mean?

Anyone can give me the detailed explanation of these items one by one?

Thanks a lot.

Hello mmsz_jbn,

The dashboard monitoring determine the extent that your web app is impacting resource usage quotas. When you get the report for last 24 hours, it will present you the data in an average of every request.

CPU Time: This means the average time taken by the CPU of the blade where you have hosted your website for every request that comes in.
It is measured in Seconds and Milliseconds. MS would represent its in Milliseconds and S would mean that it is in seconds.

Data Out: It is the amount of data that is coming in when your appliaction is running.
Data In: It is the amount of data that is moving out when your application is running.
It is measured in MB.

Memory: This is the amount of memory your Web application is using from the shared resources (Minimum, maximum and average memory for every request that comes to your Web application)

Average Response time: Measures the time between a web request entering your application and the response being returned.
This is also measured in Seconds and Milliseconds. MS would represent its in Milliseconds and S would mean that it is in seconds.
