I. PURPOSE This document details a simple test plan for the Windows NT FTP Server Performance Counters. II. OVERVIEW The Windows NT FTP Server Performance Counters may be installed from \\KAYAK\RESKIT\FTPCTRS. INSTALL.BAT will install the counters, and REMOVE.BAT will remove the counters. These .BAT files *MUST* be run from the FTPCTRS directory. Running INSTALL.BAT will install the performance counters. These counters are used by PERFMON.EXE to monitor the activity of the Windows NT FTP Server. The following attributes may be monitored: 0. Bytes Sent/sec This is the rate that data bytes are sent by the FTP Server. 1. Bytes Received/sec This is the rate that data bytes are received by the FTP Server. 2. Bytes Total/sec This is sum of Bytes Sent/sec and Bytes Received/sec. This is the total rate of bytes transferred by the FTP Server. 3. Files Sent This is the total number of files sent by the FTP Server. 4. Files Received This is the total number of files received by the FTP Server. 5. Files Total This is sum of Files Sent and Files Received. This is the total number of files transferred by the FTP Server. 6. Current Anonymous Users This is number of anonymous users currently connected to the FTP Server. 7. Current NonAnonymous Users This is number of non-anonymous users currently connected to the FTP Server. 8. Total Anonymous Users This is total number of anonymous users that have ever connected to the FTP Server. 9. Total NonAnonymous Users This is total number of non-anonymous users that have ever connected to the FTP Server. 10. Maximum Anonymous Users This is maximum number of anonymous users simultaneously connected to the FTP Server. 11. Maximum NonAnonymous Users This is maximum number of non-anonymous users simultaneously connected to the FTP Server. 12. Current Connections This is the current number of connections to the FTP Server. 13. Maximum Connections This is maximum number of simultaneous connections to the FTP Server. 14. Connection Attempts This is the number of connection attempts that have been made to the FTP Server. 15. Logon Attempts This is the number of logon attempts that have been made to the FTP Server. 16. Service Uptime Number in seconds since service was started. Accounted for FTP sites also. Pausing is not accounted. III. TESTING These tests assume the test machine has TCP/IP installed, but does *NOT* yet have the FTP Server installed. Also, LODCTR.EXE, UNLODCTR.EXE, and REGINI.EXE must be on the path. These tests also assume the user knows how to run PerfMon. 0. Run INSTALL.BAT from some directory other than FTPCTRS (i.e. cd to K:\FOO then execute \FTPCTRS\INSTALL). This should fail with an appropriate error message (must be run from FTPCTRS directory). 1. Do the same thing with REMOVE.BAT. This should also fail. 2. From the FTPCTRS directory, run REMOVE.BAT. This should fail. 3. From the FTPCTRS directory, run INSTALL.BAT. This should fail with an appropriate error message (FTP Server not installed). NOTE: This will succeed on an IDW installation. 4. Run NCPA and install the FTP Server. Reboot. 5. From the FTPCTRS directory, run REMOVE.BAT. This should fail. 6. From the FTPCTRS directory, run INSTALL.BAT. This should succeed. 8. Run PerfMon & verify that the counters are working. Select the FTP Server object and the default counter. Then connect to the target machine via the FTP client and verify the Bytes Total/sec counter is responding. Also, verify that each of the counters listed in section II are visible. 7. Run INSTALL.BAT again. This should also succeed. 9. Run PerfMon again to verify nothing messed up. 10. Run REMOVE.BAT. This should succeed. 11. Run PerfMon to verify the FTP Server object is no longer displayed in the "objects" combo box. 12. Run INSTALL.BAT again. This should succeed. 13. Run PerfMon to verify the counters were reinstalled. 14. While PerfMon is running, stop the FTP Server with either NET.EXE or the Services applet. PerfMon should continue chugging along with no FTP activity displayed. There will be no other indication in PerfMon that the service has been stopped. 15. While PerfMon is still running, restart the service. Verify that PerfMon is now displaying service activity by connecting to the server with the FTP client. 16. While PerfMon is running, run REMOVE.BAT. This should succeed. PerfMon will still allow you to add/remove FTP Server counters until you exit the PerfMon app. 17. Exit & restart PerfMon. The FTP Server counters should not be available.
