CloudHealth Agent Transmission Rates

Issue/Introduction

The Agent sends a message every 5 min to signal that it is working. It also receives a command every 5 min to upgrade to a newer version.  This conversation results in a transmission of 7 KB every 5 min.  Every hour, the Agent sends CPU, file system, and memory utilization statistics, which average around 17 KB of data transfer.  The amount of data transmitted every hour can be computed as follows:

(7 KB * 12) + 17 KB
= 96 KB + 17 KB
= 114 KB

 

Resolution

The effective transmission rate of the Agent can then be calculated as follows:

114 KB / 3600 s = 0.031 KB/s
