E Summary of Data Items

This appendix presents a brief explanation of the data items and KPI metrics used in RUEI. In addition, it describes some of the more technical aspects to information gathering and reporting within RUEI.

Data Terms

The data terms used by RUEI are explained in Table E-1. Note that the following conventions are used:

  • Data and dimension level items for which no value is found or assigned by RUEI processing will be represented as "(no value)" in the RUEI UI, including dashboards, reports, and the data browser. At the database level, such values are stored as database NULL values.

  • Items that contain "(%)" represent percentages. For example, "Error hits (%)" represents the percentage of hits that had errors associated with them.

  • Items that contain "per" in their title represent averages. The text after "per" indicates its scope. For example, "content errors per session" represents the average number of content errors detected per user session.

  • Items that contain "P95 (%)" are averages with a percentile limit of 95% applied. This removes extreme values at the highest end before taking the average and, therefore, provides a more reliable indication.

  • Items that do not contain "per" or "(%)" represent totals. For example, "Failed hits" represents the total number of hits that for any reason resulted in an error.

Data Collection

When an object is requested by a visitor, RUEI sees the request and measures the time the web server requires to present the visitor with the requested object. At this point, RUEI knows who requested the page (the client IP), which object was requested, and from which server the object was requested (server IP). This is shown in Figure E-1.

Figure E-1 RUEI Data Monitoring

Description of Figure E-1 follows
Description of "Figure E-1 RUEI Data Monitoring"

When the web server responds and sends the requested object to the visitor, RUEI sees that response. At this point, RUEI can see whether there is a response from the server, whether this response is correct, how much time the web server required to generate the requested object, and the size of the object.

In addition, RUEI can also see whether the object was completely received by the visitor, or if the visitor aborted the download (that is, proof of delivery). Hence, RUEI can determine the time taken for the object to traverse the Internet to the visitor, and calculate the Internet throughput between the visitor and the server (that is, the connection speed of the visitor).

Dynamic and Static Content

Objects requested from a server are either dynamic or static. Dynamic objects are generated live by the server, and are identified by file extensions such as php, php3, php4, asp, aspx, and so on. Static objects are already available for download with no further server action required. These are generally graphic, video, or document files. Note that dynamically-generated objects are typically much more server intensive than static objects. Table E-4 shows a complete list of the object file extensions that are recorded as static.

Page and Hit Correlation

Note the correlation of pages and hits is performed on a time basis, and a page and its hits can never have a time difference longer than 15 seconds. A hit gap of longer than 15 seconds means that the hit is no longer considered part of its associated page. In addition, the system recognizes redirects, and correlates this data to the next page view.

Be aware that any download (such as a PDF or large graphics file) that takes longer than 5 minutes to be completed is discarded by RUEI, and not reported. This is regardless of whether or not the download was successful.

End-to-end, Server, and Network Times

The time taken for a requested object to arrive at the client side is called the end-to-end (or e2e) time. It comprises two parts:

  • Server time: the time taken by the server to generate the response.

  • Network time: the time taken required for the response to travel from the server to the client.

Page Load Time and End-to-End Time

It is important to understand the precise definition of page load time and end-to-end time because they are closely related and influenced by the way the server interacts with the client browser. Figure E-2 shows a page view that consists of three hits.

Figure E-2 Page View Consisting of One Page Hit and Two Object Hits



Each hit has three arrows associated with it:

  • The request from the client browser to the server.

  • The reply from the server to the client browser.

  • The acknowledgement from the client browser to the server.

The server time is based on the time between receiving the request, and the moment the server starts to reply to the request. The network time is based on the time between the reply being sent to the client, and the acknowledgement of the reply by the client browser. The end-to-end time reported by RUEI is always the sum of the network time and the server time.

The page download time is calculated as the time between the start of the page request and acknowledgement of the last object. The page browser time is the time taken after receipt, for a page to be loaded by client browser. Page browser time out-of-the-box does only work for ADF and Fusion, for other suites / generic applications it needs to be instrumented manually with JS library support. For more information, see Defining Browser JS Library Settings.

Examining the page view network and server times shown in Figure E-2, it appears that the sum of network and server times for all hits is longer than the page loading time. This is caused by the fact that the last two hits (green and blue) are processed in parallel. For calculation of the network and server times, these are processed as two individual hits with their own timing.

ADF/Fusion Suite Page Browser Time Calculation

The "UserActivityInfo" class in ADF/ Fusion holds information about a user action, and is used to monitor end user activity such as start time and end time for a user action initiated from the client-side.

RUEI uses the "UserActivityInfo" information from ADF/Fusion to identify the page requests and to calculate the page browser time. RUEI calculates the loading time as observed by ADF/Fusion using the difference between client start time (the moment the user clicks) and the client end time (the moment the page is loaded).The difference between the RUEI download time is called the page browser time.

For more information, refer https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/12212/adf/api-reference-faces/oracle/adf/view/rich/monitoring/UserActivityInfo.html.

Browser Loading and Page Reading Times

As each object within a requested page is received at the client browser, there is sometimes a delay before the browser can start to process and load it. This is known as the browser load time (not to be confused with the page browser time as shown above). Once all objects have been loaded, the page is displayed in the client browser. The time from this moment until the next page request is known as the page read (or idle) time. It is the time the client users to review the requested page, and is set to a maximum of two minutes.

Reported Page Views

Be aware that the reported number of page views for a specific or hour can differ depending on the Data Browser group you are using. The structure of the information available within the Data Browser is explained in Understanding the Data Structure. In particular, it is calculated slightly differently between the All sessions group and the All pages group. This is illustrated in Table E-6:

Table E-6 shows the visited page history of two users. As both visitors browse the monitored web site, the number of pages they have visited are immediately recorded in the All pages group. For example, between 00:00 and 00:15 they had visited five pages. However, because these sessions are still active, they are not yet recorded within the All sessions group. That happens between 01:00 and 01:15, together with the other pages visited in that session.

As the two visitors' sessions progress, the number of visited pages is preserved. Because the All sessions group waits until each is regarded as finished, the related page history is recorded against a later time interval than in the All pages group. However, as can be seen in the totals at the bottom of Table E-6, after both sessions have finished, the total number of page visits reported in each group is the same.

Typically, the All pages group is used for functional analysis, (such as performance monitoring), while the All sessions group is used to identify issues are impacting users.

Finally, be aware that the page views for a session are recorded for the current day when they arrive at least 30 minutes before 12 PM. Thereafter, they are treated as belonging to a new session. Therefore, small differences can arise between reported page views in real-time data (such as the dashboard) and session-based groups.

Dimension Level Values

All dimension level values are limited to 255 characters. If a value is longer than this, it is automatically truncated. Note that truncated data is indicated by ending with an ellipse (…). This restrictions does not apply within session diagnostics on object level, or to posted form content.

Network Traffic Compression

RUEI can monitor compressed network traffic. Currently, it supports the DEFLATE (zlib) and gzip compression algorithms. Be aware that information about error messages encountered by users is written to the Session diagnostics replay facility (see Working With the Session Diagnostics Feature) "as is", and are not decompressed until requested to be viewed. The ability to correctly display such information depends on your browser's capabilities. While Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are fully supported for this purpose, the use of other (unsupported) browsers may present difficulties.

Aggregating Data

Aggregation is an important data management mechanism for controlling the database size used by RUEI. Aggregation works by removing irrelevant or redundant details from database tables. For example, the tracking of individual user IDs is not relevant when wanting to see the number of visitors per day over a month period. By removing this information, and adding useful counters, the amount of information that can be reported is easily increased. Consider the database table shown in Table E-8.
