Citrix timer counters

Citrix timer counters provide information about the response time of window events in a run. Response times are determined by measurements that are located in the tests.

Some counters produce an aggregate value, where the values for several web service message returns are combined into a single value; others produce values for each web service message return.

  • Aggregate counters use the values for all the elements in a test to produce a single value for a report. This value is rolled up from all values that satisfy the counter. When you drag an aggregate counter onto a report, one value is displayed. Folders that contain aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on the folder icon: folder icon with a clock superimposed. In the tables that follow, the aggregate counters are listed after the titles that contain this icon.

  • Individual counters produce values for each item that satisfies the counter, rather than an aggregate value. Folders that contain individual counters have an asterisk superimposed on the folder icon: folder icon with an asterisk superimposed. In the tables that follow, the individual counters are listed after the titles that contain this icon.

Some counters pertain to intervals in the run. You set the Statistics sample interval value in the schedule, as a schedule property.

The counters in the following table provide an aggregate value for all tests. Folders that contain aggregate counters have a clock superimposed on them: folder icon with a clock superimposed.

Citrix Timers> Response Time
Counter name Description
Average Response Time For All Timers For Interval [ms] The average response time for all measurements within the most recent sample interval
Average Response Time For All Timers For Run [ms] The average response time for all measurements in the entire run
Maximum Response Time For All Timers For Interval [ms] The maximum response time for all measurements within the most recent sample interval
Maximum Response Time For All Timers For Run [ms] The maximum response time for all measurements in the entire run
Minimum Response Time For All Timers For Interval [ms] The minimum response time for all measurements within the most recent sample interval
Minimum Response Time For All Timers For Run [ms] The minimum response time for all measurements in the entire run
Standard Deviation Response Time For All Timers For Interval [ms] The standard deviation response time for all measurements during the most recent sample interval
Standard Deviation Response Time For All Timers For Run [ms] The standard deviation response time for all measurements in the entire run

The counters in the following table provide individual values for each test. Folders that contain individual counters have an asterisk superimposed on them: folder icon with an asterisk superimposed.
