5.5 Assessing System Load

The View Utilization tab is used to obtain metrics on server capacity. When you access the View Utilization tab, the following page displays.

Figure 5-2 View Utilization Tab

Use this page to view a number of different system load metrics (measuring system load over time). The load parameters the system monitors are:

Table 5-6 System Load Metrics

Parameter	Description
Meetings	The number of currently active meetings.
Ports	The number of voice ports with a connected call.
Users	The number of users connected to the system via Conferencing clients.
Share sessions	The number of active app/desktop sharing sessions.

The average and peak values for the load parameter are gathered by sampling the above parameters once a second over a half hour interval. For example, the following is a sample of the Users table:

Figure 5-3 System Load Metrics Users Table

The last time-measured values are in the following format:

<year>-<month>-<day>-<hour>-<min>-<sec>

These values also show the end of the sampling interval of the load parameter (in this case the number of users connected via Conferencing clients).
