Performance Counters

EFT can publish a series of counters to Window’s Performance Monitor (search Windows for perfmon). Counters are used to provide information as to how well a system is performing. This data can help administrators better understand crucial performance metrics and size the requirements of their EFT infrastructure as new requirements are placed on the system.

To view EFT counters

In the Windows Search box, type perfmon, and then click Performance Monitor.
In the navigation pane, expand Monitoring Tools, click Performance Monitor.
Click anywhere In the right pane, then click Add Counters.
In the Add counters dialog box, scroll through the alphabetized list to find EFT counters.
Click the counters, click Add >>, then click OK.
Clear or select the check boxes that you want to hide or show.

Below is a description of each Counter:

Server-Level Counters	Counter	Description
	Admin Accounts	Number of administrator accounts defined for this server
	Admin Accounts Locked Out	Number of administrator accounts currently and temporarily locked out of the server
	Admin Sessions	Number of authenticated administrators with an active session
	ARM Queue Size	Size of audit queue. Values exceeding ten thousand may indicate problems with your database
	ARM Stalled Audit Events	Number of audit events delayed for longer than ARMLogStalledThreadministratorDuration (The duration is set to 1 second by default.)
Number of sites	Sites	Number of Sites currently defined for this server. Updated infrequently
	Sites Enabled	Number of Sites enabled
	Sites Started	Subset of defined Sites that are actively listening for connections. Updated infrequently
WorkspacesNormalLicensesUsed	Workspaces Licenses Assigned	Total number of Workspaces in use and not expired. Includes folder shares, file sends, and drop-offs
WorkspacesLicensesAvailable	Workspaces Licenses Available	Total number of Workspaces licenses available for use or assignment

Site-Level Counters	Counter	Description
Number of running event rules	Event Rules	Number of rules defined on the Site
	Event Rules Size of Async Events Queue	Size of asynchronous event queue. Values exceeding a few score should be looked at.
ActiveClientDownloadCount	Event Rules Client Downloads	Active downloads from a remote server originating from EFT as a client
ActiveClientDownloadBytesPerSecond	Event Rules Client Download Bytes /sec	Rate at which EFT-initiated downloads are occurring measured in bytes transferred
ActiveClientUploadCount	Event Rules Client Uploads	Active uploads to a remote server originating from EFT as a client
ActiveClientUploadBytesPerSecond	Event Rules Client Upload Bytes /sec	Rate at which EFT-initiated uploads are occurring measured in bytes transferred
	Event Rules Disabled	Event rules currently disabled. You can configure a script to alert you if this number exceeds a defined threshold
	Event Rules Running Async Events	Number of running asynchronous events. A high number could indicate a need for more nodes or improved rule logic
Number of running Advanced Workflow Actions	Event Rules Running Advanced Workflow Tasks	Number of running Advanced Workflow workflows. A high number could indicate a need for more nodes or improved workflow logic
Number of running Cloud Upload Actions	Event Rules Running Cloud Upload Actions	Number of event rule actions uploading to a cloud storage provider such as Azure or AWS
Number of running Cloud Download Actions	Event Rules Running Cloud Download Actions	Number of event rule actions download from a cloud storage provider such as Azure or AWS
Number of running Download Actions	Event Rules Running Download Actions	Number of event rule actions where the action is downloading a file from a remote host
Number of running Upload Actions	Event Rules Running Upload Actions	Number of event rule actions where the action is uploading a file to a remote host
	Event Rules Size of Async Events Queue
Size of Advanced Workflow Actions queue	Event Rules Size of Advanced Workflow Actions Queue	Size of Advanced Workflow queue. Values exceeding a few score should be looked at
	Event Rules Triggered	Number of event rules currently active. A high number could indicate a need for more nodes or improved rule logic
	Folder Monitor Worker Threads
	Socket Connection /sec
	Templates	Number of Templates defined for this Site. Updated infrequently. (Note that the is a "hidden" template for Remote Agents.)
	Timer Rule Worker Threads
Number of clients	User Accounts	Number of User accounts defined for this Site. Updated infrequently.
	User Accounts Disabled	Subset of this Site's User accounts that are currently in a disabled state. Updated infrequently.
	User Accounts Locked Out	Subset of this Site's User accounts that are currently locked out. Updated infrequently.
ActiveServerDownloadCount	User Downloads	Active downloads from EFT originating from remote clients. Juxtapose with CPU, disk, network, and similar metrics to assess performance impact
ActiveServerDownloadBytesPerSecond	User Downloads Bytes /sec	Rate at which downloads are occurring by connected clients measured in bytes transferred
	User Login Failed Bad Password /sec	Rate at which user are failing to authenticate due to a valid username but invalid password being provided. There are mitigation techniques you can use if frequent attacks on root or administrator
	User Login Failed Non-existent Username /sec	Rate at which user are failing to authenticate due to an invalid or non-existent username being provided.
	User Login Success /sec	Rate at which users are authenticating successfully and turn into an active session. See User Sessions for count of actively connected users.
ConnectedUserCount	User Sessions	Number of authenticated users with an active session. Does not count stateless HTTP/S connections
ActiveServerUploadCount	User Uploads	Active uploads to EFT originating from remote clients. Juxtapose with CPU, disk, network, and similar metrics to assess performance impact
ActiveServerUploadBytesPerSecond	User Upload Bytes /sec	Rate at which uploads are occurring by connected clients measured in bytes transferred
WorkspacesDropoffLicensesUsed	Workspaces Drop-offs	Number of drop-off requests active and not expired
	Workspaces File Sends	Number of file send operations that are active and have not yet expired
	Workspaces Folders Shared	Number of folder shares that are active and have not yet expired
