Client Operation Information

Lists all of the client operations that might occur with the iPrint Manager. These operations become selectable if any operation of that type has occurred. The statistics at the top of this page apply to the currently selected field.

When an operation event occurs, the operation is changed to a link. When you click a link, the statistics for that operation for the last hour are displayed above the Client Operation Information and the operation is highlighted with the color Cyan. The following are all the colors that can be used.

File Server Containing Replica

The statistics on this page apply to the currently selected replica in the list. The links are explained in the following table.

Table 3-6 NDS Replica Information

Options	Description
Summary of All File Servers Accessed	Statistics for all monitored NDS operations.
Undetermined	Any operation where the iPrint Manager cannot determine which replica was accessed.
File_Server_List	The first 15 file servers accessed by the iPrint Manager for NDS information within the last hour. Any server highlighted in yellow indicates that there has been a recent problem while processing an NDS operation to that server.

Clicking the link displays operations associated with that file server’s replica. The following colors are used.

Table 3-7 Operation Color Indicators

Color	Description
Cyan	Currently selected event operation.
Magenta	Currently selected event operation with an event worthy of notice.
Yellow	An event worthy of notice has occurred.

Last Access of Replica

If a file server has been selected under File Server Containing Replica, this displays the date and time that the iPrint Manager last accessed a replica on that file server.

Lost Connection Count

Displays the number of times the iPrint Manager unsuccessfully attempted to talk to the selected server. This statistic is indicative of the health of eDirectory™.

3.1.5 iPrint Manager Internal

Figure 3-8 Print Services Manager Internal Page

Database Backup and File Size Information

Displays general information about the iPrint Manager’s database. The index file and the data file together comprise the iPrint Manager’s database. The index should be roughly one-tenth the size of the Database Data File Size.

A large index file is indicative that a large number of database objects have been deleted. While this does not affect performance, you can resynchronize the database to update the index file size, if necessary.

Database Lock Operations

The iPrint Manager uses locks when accessing objects in its database. If the lock for an object cannot be acquired, the object cannot be accessed and that database operation fails. Database Lock Operations displays how many object lock operations have been attempted and how many have failed for the specified time.

Database Information

Displays statistics on the performance of the iPrint Manager’s database. Excessive time is defined as 10 seconds. The Average Access Time should be 0 (zero).

Statistics for the Max Access Time are expected, and most entries are associated with file system backups.

Examine Database

Links to a page that gives details about the database objects.

Thread Pool Information

The iPrint Manager has a thread pool that it uses to process a variety of tasks. This table displays some statistics to monitor the performance and load on this thread pool.

Table 3-10 Thread Pool Task Information

Statistic	Description
Total Tasks Processed	Total number of tasks that have been processed by the thread pool since the referenced time.
Max Number of Queued Requests	Maximum number of request that were queued up (waiting) to be processed.
Max Request Queue Time	Longest time that a task waited to be processed.
Max Number of Threads	The iPrint Manager has the ability to create and to destroy threads for the thread pool as needed. The minimum number of threads in the thread pool is two. Max Number of Threads displays the maximum number of threads that were needed to process tasks. If this number consistently exceeds five, you should monitor the print system’s performance and determine if you need an additional iPrint Manager.
