Debugging and Monitoring Applications > Using the Communication App inspector > The Statistics panel

The Statistics panel

This panel shows information about the overall state of the application instance. The information is updated automatically every 15 seconds; to force an immediate refresh, click the Statistics panel name again.

This panel displays the following information.

# Active indicates the number of users currently connected to the application instance.

Accepted (Total) indicates the number of users who have connected to the application instance since it started.

Rejected (Total) indicates the number of users whose attempts to connect to the application instance since it started were rejected. To determine why connections might have failed, look at the Live Log panel in the App inspector (see The Live Log panel) and the Access Log in the Administration Console (see Managing Flash Communication Server Help).

Uptime indicates the length of time the application instance has been running.

Launch Time indicates the date and time the application instance began running.

Bytes per Sec (In/Out) indicates the average bytes per second being sent to and from the server. The App inspector calculates this ratio by dividing the total number of bytes received in the most recent 15 seconds and dividing that value by 15. When the panel first appears, these figures appear as "pending" because there is only one data point to start with; figures will appear after the panel is open for 15 seconds.

Messages per Sec (In/Out) indicates the average number of messages (video frames from cameras, audio packets, and command messages) per second being sent to and from the server.

Messages Dropped indicates the number of messages that have been dropped since the application instance started because the client has fallen too far behind in receiving data that the server is sending. For live streams, audio and video messages may be dropped; for recorded streams, only video messages are dropped. Command messages are never dropped.
