(For users who have access to more than one account, like service providers) Filter by the company ID to retrieve results from just one account. For example, .../aternity.odata/API_NAME?$filter=(ACCOUNT_ID eq '12345').

(For users who have access to more than one account, like service providers) Displays the company name. You can filter the output by the ACCOUNT_ID, not ACCOUNT_NAME. For example, .../aternity.odata/API_NAME?$filter=(ACCOUNT_ID eq '12345').

Displays the number of actions reflected in each result row.

Displays the status of actions.

Displays the date and time when an action got its current state during its life cycle.

Displays the name of an executed remediation action.

Displays a message that scripts return (if scripts are defined to return messages). For example, if the script failed for some reason, you can examine the Action Output Message to get more information about the reason of failure.

Displays a unique reference number of each action run, which can be used to uniquely identify each action run.

Measures the time to complete a script execution.

Displays the state of actions.

Displays the time when the remedy action is being sent to Windows monitored device.

Displays the type of triggers for remediation actions. It can be manual when executed by an IT person or automatic when executed by an SDA rule.

Displays by whom the remediation action was executed. It can be Aternity user name who executed an action or SDA rule name that triggered an automatic action.

Displays the reference ID of the service desk alert (SDA) that automatically triggered the remediation action run. This allows to see if eventually the SDA was pushed to some external system and if remediation succeeded and the issue is resolved.

Displays the total number of remediation actions during the aggregation time of this API.

Displays one of the subnet values on this device whose network adapter is active, operational and non-virtual.

Info 1 and Info 2 display extra custom contextual data reported by your custom activity.

(For managed applications only) Displays the backend time for a single activity. The backend time for a single request-response pair is from the last send to its first response minus the round trip time. If the activity calls a server more than once, or several servers, the reported time is the combination (union) of all the individual times together. If the target server calls other back-end servers, Aternity's backend time is the total (union) of all network times and server times of all back end servers in that chain, ending when the activity's target server sends its response to the client. For more server-side visibility, view the transaction details in Aternity APM (previously AppInternals).

(For managed applications only) Displays the backend time for a single activity, or the average backend time if this entry covers several activities. The time displays with the unit of milliseconds.

The backend time for a single request-response pair is from the last send to its first response minus the round trip time. If the activity calls a server more than once, or several servers, the reported time is the combination (union) of all the individual times together. If the target server calls other back-end servers, Aternity's backend time is the total (union) of all network times and server times of all back end servers in that chain, ending when the activity's target server sends its response to the client. For more server-side visibility, view the transaction details in Aternity APM (previously AppInternals).

(For managed applications only) Displays the client time for a single activity in milliseconds. Client time is the time used by the device itself as part of an activity to process data before sending its first message request to the server and after the last message response arrives back from the server. The Agent for End User Devices calculates the client time as the total activity response time minus the infra time.

(For managed applications only) Displays, in milliseconds, the client time for a single activity, or the average client time if this entry covers several activities.

(For managed applications only) Displays average the client time in milliseconds for all the activities covered in this entry. Client time is the time used by the device itself as part of an activity to process data before sending its first message request to the server and after the last message response arrives back from the server. The Agent for End User Devices calculates the client time as the total activity response time minus the infra time.

The status of an activity is based on one response time compared to the recent expected response time (baselined or manually predefined). The statuses are measured in severity: Normal , Minor , Major or Critical .

Diverse_Value fields display extra custom contextual data reported as part of your custom activity which Aternity cannot aggregate, like an error message. Contextual attributes are descriptive properties of a measurement or activity, like a username, window title or application name.

Displays the unique identifier of the monitored activity. Crucial for activities with identical names that refer to different applications, like Save in MS Word and MS Excel.

Displays whether the activity is predefined (True) or not (False). Aternity comes with default predefined activities out of the box, for popular business applications. For example, there are many predefined activities for the applications in Microsoft Office, like Outlook's open mail or send mail. There are predefined activities for Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Office 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016 (Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, all in English), Microsoft Skype for Business and Citrix WorxMail for mobile devices.

Displays the activity response for user activities or MOS for skype activities.

Displays the name of the monitored activity within the application as it appears in the dashboards. An activity is a user action which you monitor for performance, like a mouse click or a key press, to measure the time until the app's GUI responds, known as the activity response time. In Aternity, you can compare response times in any app across the enterprise, and troubleshoot performance by seeing when they perform slower. For example, you can monitor the launch of an application, or the time it takes for an application to respond to a menu choice.

Displays the network time of this activity in milliseconds. Network time is the total time (union) taken for all messages to cross the network in either direction, between the client and the target server, while performing an activity. This does NOT include the time used for processing the request on the server (backend time). The network time is calculated as the infra time minus the backend time.

(For managed applications only) Displays, in milliseconds, the network time for a single activity, or the average network time if this entry covers several activities.

Displays the activity's Title field, if the activity reported this as one of its contextual fields.

For example, if an activity measures the time taken for a window to open, the Title would refer to window or page title.

The remote display latency is the average time taken for the round trip of a network data packet to travel between the front line user and a virtual server (both ways).

Practically, it is the time between performing an action in a virtual session on the front line user's machine, then sending that action to the virtual desktop server (VDI) or virtual application server, and then viewing that action back on the front line terminal again. This does NOT measure the time for the application to respond.

For example, if a user types the character 'g' in a text editor which runs on a virtual application server, when the remote session sends this action to the virtual server, the remote display latency is the lag time between typing 'g' to seeing the 'g' on the screen.

(For managed applications only) Displays the response time for a single activity. An activity response is the time taken for an application to complete an activity in seconds.

The response times of activities are split into client time ( light blue), and the combination or union of the backend time ( dark blue) and the network time ( blue).

(For managed applications only) Displays the average response time for all activities covered by this entry. An activity response is the time taken for an application to complete an activity in seconds.

The response times of activities are split into client time ( light blue), and the combination or union of the backend time ( dark blue) and the network time ( blue).

The activity score is a value (0-100) which summarizes the statuses of all activity response times into a single value. Each value is calculated using our Apdex-inspired formula or manually set thresholds, and also has a status and color.

Use the score to measure short term (acute) recent or sudden changes from regular performance (baselined or manually predefined).

(For managed applications only) Displays the number of times someone performed this activity during the timeframe, thereby adding weight to the impact of this problem. If the same user performs the same activity twice, it counts as two.

Displays the time elapsed since the timestamp of the collection of the data in days.

Displays the time elapsed since the timestamp of the collection of the data in hours.

Displays the time elapsed since the timestamp of the collection of the data in minutes.

(Windows, Macs) Displays the reporting status of the Agent for End User Devices:

• The status of a device is Reporting if Aternity is actively receiving monitoring data from that device.

• (For Windows and Macs) The status of a device is Disconnected if Aternity has not received monitoring data for more than five minutes from this device, but it has received data within the last 7 days.

  This could be caused by powering off the device (may be company policy to switch off every night), or it may not have a license to report to Aternity, or it could point to a problem with the device, like no network connection.

  When the Agent is disconnected, it locally stores up to 50 minutes of retention data in offline mode, and then sends it when it renews its connection.

• (For Windows and Macs) The status of a device is Stopped if its Agent behaves unusually (like high CPU or memory usage), and therefore it automatically shuts down. Contact Customer Services.

  (For mobile devices) Aternity Mobile reports a status Stopped when it does not collect performance data, but can still receive commands from the Aggregation Server.

• (For monitored mobile apps only) The status of a device is Not Reporting if Aternity has not received monitoring data from this mobile device for at least 10 minutes. This could happen if the device is shut down, or the device has no network data connection, or the mobile app is running in the background or is not running at all.

Displays the version of the Agent for End User Devices on the device.

The name of the application, as specified in the Description field of the executable file's properties.

The active time of an application is the time when it is running, in the foreground, and the user is actively interacting with it (NOT waiting for it while it is busy trying to respond). It is calculated as the usage time minus the wait time.

Displays the number of crashes during the time slot of this entry:

• (Windows desktop apps) Aternity registers a Windows app crash when the Event Log issues event ID 1000 (a process or DLL ends unexpectedly), event ID 1001 (.NET process ends unexpectedly), event ID 1002 (a user stops a Not Responding process), or event ID 1026 (.NET runtime error).

  (Mac desktop apps) Aternity reports a native Mac app crashing only if it registers the crash in the MacOS system log.

• (Mobile apps) Aternity reports a crashing monitored mobile app if it experiences an unhandled exception, or if the operating system (iOS or Android) tells it to abruptly stop (abort signal). For every mobile app crash, Aternity collects the exception code and type of exception, the app's stack trace, and a summary of the crash information. It also collects any breadcrumbs leading up to the crash. You can download the memory dump file if needed.

• (Web applications) Displays the number of browser crashes.

• (For web applications only) Displays the number of web errors.

Hang time measures the time when an application is listed as Not responding in the Windows Task Manager while it is in the foreground (in use). This measurement is used to calculate the wait time of an application, and the overall UXI. The time displays with the unit of milliseconds.

Displays the internal ID of the mobile app which Aternity monitors, like com.company.mymobileapp. Depending on the OS, this is known as the Application ID, Bundle Identifier, Package ID or Package Name.

(Discovered applications only) Displays the process name (exe) for desktop apps, the base URL for web apps, or the package name / bundle identifier for mobile apps.

Select or filter with this column to view one app whose public ('pretty') app name may have several variants, like notepad++.exe whose app name can be Notepad++, Notepad++ : a free (GNU) source code editor, Notepad++ (32-bit x86), or Notepad++ (64-bit x64). Alternatively, some apps may have one public ('pretty') name with several process names, like localized versions of an app. In those cases, filter by this column to split the app's measurements into each flavor.

Displays the date when the application was used for the last time.

Displays the number of minutes that the process of this application has been running on this device.

The name of the application, as specified in the Description field of the executable file's properties.

Displays the type of an application:

• Desktop for desktop applications.

• Web for web cloud applications.

• Mobile for a monitored mobile app.

Displays the version number for this application, which the Agent for End User Devices retrieves from the executable's Properties > Details.

The usage time of an application is the total time it is running, in the foreground, and being used. This includes the wait time, the time a user spends waiting for the application to respond. For web applications, the usage time is when both the browser window and the application's tab are in the foreground. The time displays with the unit of milliseconds.

Displays how the application was used: locally or virtually (for desktop devices) or from a mobile device.

The User Experience Index (UXI) is a value (0-5) which measures the overall performance and health of applications, based on the number of crashes per hour out of the total usage time, the percentage hang time out of the total usage time, and the percentage wait time out of the total usage time. For web applications, it also uses the percentage of web page errors out of all page loads, and the average page load time.

Use this weight to create an average of several measurements of the application's UXI.

To combine several readings into a single value, you cannot take a simple average, since this is a cumulative measurement, not a spot measurement, hence each reading relies on and contains those which came beforehand. Therefore each measurement needs its own relative weight, which you can use to include it as part of an overall average. Use this weight value (from Aternity's proprietary algorithm) to recreate the weighted average displayed in Aternity's dashboards:

Sum(UXI * UXI_Weight) / Sum(UXI_Weight)

The wait time of a Windows application is defined as the time users spend waiting for the application to respond when it is actively running and in use (part of the usage time). The time displays with the unit of milliseconds.

The total wait time is calculated as the time covered by the following components (which may overlap): the hang time when an application is not responding, or when the mouse pointer has a busy icon (Windows devices). For web applications, the wait time is the web page load time when both the browser window and its tab are in the foreground.

(For monitored mobile apps only) , the wait time covers the following components which may overlap: the launch time of the app, the time spent waiting for the app to switch from the background to the foreground, the time required for a web page to load within an app, and the time the user spends waiting for the app's main thread to respond.

Displays the action which the user performed, which Aternity audited.

For the Aternity access audit API, it only logs a successful sign in to Aternity, which it displays as Login.

For the Aternity dashboard audit API, it logs:

• Open Dashboard

• Dashboard Interaction, such as changing a parameter, marking a selection, or changing a filter.

Displays the earliest timestamp for all fields in this entry, in ISO 8601 format. For example, July 20th 2016 at 03:15am in the UTC time zone appears as 2016-07-20T03:15:00Z or 2016-07-20T03:15:00+00:00.

Displays (in milliseconds) the average response time of this activity in the past five minutes, the past hour or the past 24 hours.

Displays the average length of calls actively connected during this time slot, in seconds.

Displays the selected monitored attribute of the baseline, by which the baseline is split. By default, it is Location, but it can be updated in the Monitor Tree. First, the Global baseline is shown, and below different split attributes. If there are no splits, Aternity displays only the Global value.

Displays the value of the attribute by which the baseline is split (for example, Location can be London and Paris).

Displays the date and time that the baseline was last calculated or updated.

Displays the baseline percentile that is defined in the Detection Settings for the Major baseline. If the baseline detection is not defined, the value is not displayed.

Displays the Major baseline that is calculated. If the baseline detection is not defined, the value is not displayed.

Displays the baseline percentile that is defined in the Detection Settings for the Minor baseline. If the baseline detection is not defined, the value is not displayed.

Displays the Minor baseline that is calculated. If the baseline detection is not defined, the value is not displayed.

Once the minimum number of measurements are available for creation of a baseline, the baseline is created and gets a quality grade. The quality of the baseline impacts the quality of detection, since a baseline that has Low quality may create more false positives than a High quality baseline. A baseline is defined as Low quality if it has a very high STD and/or was calculated using a low number of measurements.

Displays the standard deviation for the measurements used to create the baseline. When calculating a specific percentile for detection, a number of STDs are added to the average to calculate that value.

Displays the average of all measurements used for the baseline calculation.

(For web applications only) Displays the type of web browser housing the application.

Displays the version number for this browser, which the Agent for End User Devices retrieves from the executable's Properties > Details.

Displays the maximum value out of a given Audio Inbound Network Degradation and Audio Outbound Network Degradation.

Displays True if Skype dynamically switched on forward error correction (FEC) in a call, to combat packet loss. FEC sends extra packets containing redundant information, to help it complete the audio stream on the other end, hence it uses more bandwidth.

Displays an estimated bandwidth for incoming audio data (in bits per second).

Displays the name of the codec which Skype used to understand the incoming compressed sound.

Skype dynamically chooses the best codec to compress the audio signal, based on the bandwidth available and ensuring the recipient can unzip the audio on the other side.

Displays the average percentage of audio frames with samples generated by packet loss concealment.

Displays the maximum percentage of audio frames with samples generated by packet loss concealment.

Displays the differences (variance) in the delay of incoming audio packets from the other caller, or (in conference calls) from the Skype server to a caller, measured in milliseconds.

Wide differences in delay (above 30ms) means that some packets are much slower than others, so when they arrive at the other end, the order of the packets is jumbled, which creates a choppy or distorted sound. This is usually caused by network congestion, but you can counter it with a large enough buffer to re-order the jumbled packets.

Displays the average jitter for the incoming audio data in milliseconds.

Displays the maximum jitter for the incoming audio data in milliseconds.

Displays the True value if audio data bypassed the mediation server.

The device of the callee (a Microsoft term) is the type of device used by the other participant in a Skype or Lync call:

• PC indicates the other participant used Skype for Business or Lync running on a Windows desktop or laptop.

• Conference Bridge indicates that this user was in a conference call, where every participant connects via the bridge. Hence the callee is the conference bridge.

• iPhone indicates the other participant used the mobile iOS version of Skype for Business or Lync on an iPhone.

• iPad indicates the other participant used the tablet iOS version of Skype for Business or Lync on an iPad.

• Android indicates the other participant used the Android version of Skype for Business or Lync on an Android tablet or phone.

• Mac indicates the other participant used the Mac version of Skype for Business or Lync on a Mac desktop or laptop.

• Other can refer to a gateway or mediation server.

Displays the combined MOS for this participant in this Skype call. The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is Microsoft's quality measurement (0-5) of a user's experience in a Skype or Lync call. It assesses quality by measuring the network jitter, background noise, dropped packets, and other factors to score the user experience for a single device in a single call. Each device in a call has an inbound MOS and an outbound MOS.

Displays the type of calls in Microsoft Teams: Direct between two devices, or Conference, where more than two devices connect to a bridge to participate in a call. Each connection to a call appears in the dashboards as a separate entry.

Displays the name of the capture device. A capture device is a microphone, either built-in or standalone, used for collecting audio input to a Skype / Lync call.

Displays the name and full version of the driver which supports the capture device in a Skype call. A capture device is a microphone, either built-in or standalone, used for collecting audio input to a Skype / Lync call.

Displays:

• Incoming are the people who answered a Skype or Lync call.

• Outgoing are the people who dialed a Skype or Lync call.

For example, if you have a call center and expect most calls to be incoming, you can confirm this expectation by monitoring the dominant call direction.

Displays the duration of a user's call or session.

This is NOT the duration of the entire call (for conference calls, when people can connect or disconnect at any time, the duration of a user's call and the duration of the entire call are not necessarily equal).

Displays the quality and performance of calls which ended in different ways:

• Ended Successfully are for calls which started and ended normally, with no unexpected disconnections.

• Disconnected with Error: A stream is dropped if Microsoft Teams, or Skype for Business, or Lync ended the call unexpectedly, without the user manually ending the call. Aternity reports the failure and its reason.

• Failed Streams: A stream fails if Skype for Business or Lync could not successfully establish a connection and start. Aternity reports the failure and its reason as the SIP code and SIP string.

Displays the Skype for Business error code for a failed call. A stream fails if Skype for Business or Lync could not successfully establish a connection and start. Aternity reports the failure and its reason as the SIP code and SIP string.

Displays the Call ID from Microsoft Teams by which users can locate and view a specific call record (common to all participants of a unique call).

Displays the inbound degradation for this participant of a Skype call. Inbound degradation is the amount of reduction in the inbound MOS score which was due to a poor network connection. A high degradation indicates that the poor network MOS (packet loss, network jitter) played a significant role in lowering the audio experience.

Displays the inbound MOS score for this participant. The inbound MOS (or inbound listening MOS) for someone in a call is the MOS score of the incoming audio or video, showing if you clearly hear others in the call over background noise or a poor connection (inbound network MOS). The inbound MOS of a listener is the same as the outbound MOS of the speaker. For example, if the other person spoke softly, or there was poor network speeds, or a dog was barking, it would lower the inbound MOS.

The combined MOS score (and status) for a device is the LOWER value of the inbound MOS and outbound MOS scores in a call.

Displays the network MOS score for this participant. The inbound network MOS is part of the overall inbound listening MOS which focuses on the network connection quality like packet loss and network jitter.

Indicates if audio was used in the call (True). Otherwise it is False.

Indicates if media sharing was used in the call (screen or application sharing).

Indicates if video was used in the call (True). Otherwise it is False.

Displays the average frames per second received for a video stream, computed over the duration of the session.

Displays the packet count for the stream.

Displays 1 if the call or stream could not successfully establish a connection, 0 if it did establish a connection. A stream fails if Skype for Business or Lync could not successfully establish a connection and start. Aternity reports the failure and its reason as the SIP code and SIP string.

Displays whether Skype for Business dropped a call or stream (1) or did not drop the call (0). A stream is dropped if Microsoft Teams, or Skype for Business, or Lync ended the call unexpectedly, without the user manually ending the call. Aternity reports the failure and its reason.

There are two types of streams in Skype for Business or Lync: Audio only or Audio/Video.

Displays the total number of streams performed in Microsoft Teams during the given time slot. For example, when three people are talking, although it is one distinct call, but there are three streams, so three records will be saved and calculated as three separate streams. This API field displays the volume of streams during this time slot.

Displays the total number of Skype calls during this time slot. For example, when three people are talking, although it is one distinct call, but there are three streams, so three records will be saved and calculated as three separate streams.

If the front line terminal has an Agent for End User Devices locally installed, it reports the type of device of the terminal. Otherwise, if it does not have its own Agent, it reports it as a Remote Device.

See Client Device Name

Displays the name of the system component, as it appears on the System Health dashboard; for example, Aggregation Server.

Displays the status of the component as appears on the System Health dashboard (for example, Free disk space is running low). Statuses are as follows:

• • Green represents the Status - Running.

  • Yellow represents the Status - Running with Warnings.

  • Red represents the Status - Failed/Not reporting.

  • Gray represents the Status - Unknown/Starting.

The status details are error messages, warning messages or any other message shown as tooltips on user interface when you hover the mouse over the Status for each row.

Displays the component startup time.

Displays the version of the system component, for example, <REST API build number>.

Displays the number of devices of this Device_Type in this location where the status of the Agent for End User Devices was Reporting, Stopped or Not Reporting during the past seven days.

• The status of a device is Reporting if Aternity is actively receiving monitoring data from that device.

• (For Windows and Macs) The status of a device is Stopped if its Agent behaves unusually (like high CPU or memory usage), and therefore it automatically shuts down. Contact Customer Services.

  (For mobile devices) Aternity Mobile reports a status Stopped when it does not collect performance data, but can still receive commands from the Aggregation Server.

• (For monitored mobile apps only) The status of a device is Not Reporting if Aternity has not received monitoring data from this mobile device for at least 10 minutes.This could happen if the device is shut down, or the device has no network data connection, or the mobile app is running in the background or is not running at all.

Displays the number of devices of this Device_Type in this location which did not have a locally deployed Agent, and where the status of that remote Agent was Reporting.

The status of a device is Reporting if Aternity is actively receiving monitoring data from that device.

Contextual attributes are descriptive properties of a measurement or activity, like a username, window title or application name.

When defining a Custom Data Collector, it is possible to collect up to 16 contextuals (free text), and label each one with a Title or Name. Custom Data dashboard cannot present the collected free texts, so they are named Contextual_01_16_Value. To let users know what each contextual for, Aternity provides the labels in additional column (Contextual_01_16_Label).

Contextual attributes are descriptive properties of a measurement or activity, like a username, window title or application name.

When defining a Custom Data Collector, it is possible to collect up to 16 contextuals (free text), and label each one with a Title or Name. Custom Data dashboard cannot present the collected free texts, so they are named Contextual_01_16_Value. To let users know what each contextual for, Aternity provides the labels in additional column (Contextual_01_16_Label).

Only displays if you defined a custom attribute using this predefined name. A custom attribute is a property of a device, location or user that you define, which Aternity does not normally detect. You can use a custom attribute to easily group together the items which share this property, to monitor their performance. For example, you can configure Aternity to report if a device has disk encryption, to compare the performance of encrypted versus regular devices.

(Windows on Intel only) Displays the core type of the Intel processor, for example i7, E5, and so on).

Displays the number of devices reflected in each result row.

Displays the number of days since the last time the device was booted. If you think that people experience slowdowns because they have not booted in some time, you can compare their performance with users who restart their devices frequently.Possible values are any of the following strings:

• Less than 24 hours

• 24 - 48 hours

• 2 - 7 days

• 7 - 14 days

• 15 - 30 days

• More than 30 days

Displays the percentage of an hour between zero and one during which the device was running. For example, in a given hour slot (o'clock to o'clock), if a device has been running for 15 minutes of that hour, this value would be 0.25. Another device which ran for 45 minutes would have a value of 0.75.

If you calculate the average hourly usage of a shared resource for several devices using weighted averages, you can use this measurement as the weight for a device. For example, if several devices each run for different proportions of that hour, to calculate a weighted average, assign a greater weight to the device which ran for more time in that hour.

For monitored Android apps, the Device ID is made up of two parts: the first is the WiFi mac address, and the second is the software-based ANDROID_ID.

For monitored iOS apps the Device ID is only unique per vendor ID. If your enterprise uses a single vendor ID to create several apps, then whenever they are on the same device, they report the same Device ID. But an app from a different vendor ID (like Citrix WorxMail) on the same device would report a different Device ID.

Displays whether the device experience any user interaction during this one-hour slot. Possible values are true or false. Use this to monitor resource usage when the device is idle (like automatic backup processes or virus scanning processes which run when the computer is idle), or to better calculate performance averages by excluding the time when the device stands idle. If a user did not perform any interaction with the device (e.g. mouse click, keyboard press, application usage) during a one-hour slot, the device’s idle status will become true. Note that being on a call via a collaboration tool (e.g. Zoom, Skype) is not considered a user interaction, so if a user was on a call for over an hour without any other interaction (e.g. mouse click, keyboard press, application usage) the hour will be counted as idle.

Only displays if you defined a custom attribute using this predefined name.

Use this name for an attribute which displays the ID of the disk image used when creating this device's initial setup and configuration.

The performance index is a value (0-5) which measures an application's responsiveness. If users must wait frequently or for long periods for an application to respond, its performance index is lower. It is calculated from the usage time and wait time.

Use this weight to create an average of several measurements of the application's performance index.

To combine several readings into a single value, you cannot take a simple average, since this is a cumulative measurement, not a spot measurement, hence each reading relies on and contains those which came beforehand. Therefore each measurement needs its own relative weight, which you can use to include it as part of an overall average. Use this weight value (from Aternity's proprietary algorithm) to recreate the weighted average displayed in Aternity's dashboards:

Sum(Performance_Index * Performance_Weight) / Sum(Performance_Weight)

View the percentage CPU utilization of this Windows process while it performs an activity, measured as a percentage of the total power of all CPU cores available.

During an activity, if an application uses resources (x% CPU or RAM), or sends x MB of network traffic, it is not the same as saying that it is because of the activity. They happen at the same time, so they are correlated (see Correlation vs. Causation). However, you can be reasonably confident that these device measurements occurred because of the activity.

Displays the average CPU usage (in percent) of this managed application during the timeframe, which is part of the application's process resource consumption (PRC).

Displays the peak CPU usage (in percent) of this managed application during the timeframe, which is part of the application's process resource consumption (PRC).

Displays a measure of the device's graphics resource usage in Windows. The Agent collects this value only if manually configured in your deployment.

The Aternity Agent checks the application's process resource consumption (PRC) of the managed application a few times a minute to validate it's responsiveness. Then, the Agent reports the total number of times it checked the PRC (as PRC_Sampling_Count_Total value), and how many of those returned with an error (PRC_Not_Responding_Errors_Total value). This indicates there is a message loop inside a long running process which does not respond in a timely manner or completely got stuck). Divide PRC_Not_Responding_Errors_Total by PRC_Sampling_Count_Total to get an appropriate process resource unavailability metric.

Displays the important details of the service desk alert, like the app name which crashed, or the disk name which issued an error. Filter or select this column name to view all errors associated with a particular app or disk. A service desk alert (SDA) indicates that the same health event occurred several times on the same device within a certain time. Aternity sends SDAs to draw attention to devices which suffer repeated application errors, system crashes or hardware issues.

Displays the full details of the last occurrence of this health event. For app crashes, this includes the app name, its process name (or base URL),, and any error codes. For disk failures, it includes the disk name and the error codes associated with this health event. A service desk alert (SDA) indicates that the same health event occurred several times on the same device within a certain time. Aternity sends SDAs to draw attention to devices which suffer repeated application errors, system crashes or hardware issues.

Displays the time and date of the last health event which triggered this service desk alert. A service desk alert (SDA) indicates that the same health event occurred several times on the same device within a certain time.

Displays a unique reference number to each service desk alert that can be used to uniquely identify each alert, for example in the ticketing system. A service desk alert (SDA) indicates that the same health event occurred several times on the same device within a certain time. Aternity sends SDAs to draw attention to devices which suffer repeated application errors, system crashes or hardware issues.

Displays the name of this service desk alert. A service desk alert (SDA) indicates that the same health event occurred several times on the same device within a certain time. Aternity sends SDAs to draw attention to devices which suffer repeated application errors, system crashes or hardware issues. The types of alerts are:

• HD Failure Windows event ID 52 occurs with an imminent failure of the hard disk. Back up your data immediately, then use a scanning tool to detect problems. For example, if a disk is too hot, switch off the PC and disconnect the power of that hard disk until you replace it.

• Application Crash (after hang) (Windows) Event ID 1002 occurs when a user manually forced an application's process to close after it stopped responding. (Mac) Aternity uses the system log to determine when a user has manually forced an application's process to close after it stopped responding. To resolve, note any common actions leading to the hang, then consult the app vendor's support site.

• Battery Wear (Windows laptops only) Aternity checks if the battery capacity drops below a threshold (default is 50%), compared with the vendor's factory settings. This indicates that a full battery charge drains much faster than it should. To resolve, replace the battery.

• HD Bad Blocks Windows event ID 7 occurs with a corrupted block of data on the hard disk. If many bad sectors develop, the drive may fail and needs attention. Replace a physically damaged disk immediately. For 'soft' or logical bad sectors, you can use Windows Disk Check.

• Low Disk Space Aternity creates this event if the device's system disk has less than 5% free space and less than 500MB available, which limits the size of virtual memory. Event will be created when both conditions are met. To resolve, free some disk space (empty trash, remove unused apps) or increase its capacity.

• Overheat Related Shutdown Windows event ID 86 occurs when the device shuts down due to overheating (critical thermal event). It indicates a hardware problem, like a dusty CPU, broken fan or obstructed air vent. Turn off your computer, clean the heat sinks, and make sure that air circulates properly.

• System Crash (Windows) Aternity reports a system crash when Windows created a memory dump file after a BSOD. Aternity analyzes the Windows dump and extracts data. (Macs) Aternity reports a system crash when it detected a kernel panic from the macOS system logs. To troubleshoot, view the details of the event and research further on the name of the process or module and its error codes.

Displays the actual hostname of the server (NOT its DNS alias), when an application on the device contacts a server. For example, on a device using Outlook 365, the hostname might be outlook-emeacenter.office365.com while its DNS name is shortened to outlook.office365.com. This is a clearer definition to replace Target Server.

If you contact more than one server during an activity, it reports the server whose total backend time was longest during that activity.

Displays the IP address of the server, when an application on the device contacts a server. For example, on a device using Outlook, it displays the IP address of the Exchange server. This is a clearer definition to replace Target Server.

If you contact more than one server during an activity, it reports the server whose total backend time was longest during that activity.

Displays the DNS alias of the hostname of the server (not the computer's actual hostname), when an application on the device contacts a server. For example, on a device using Outlook 365, the DNS name might be outlook.office365.com while its full hostname might be outlook-emeacenter.office365.com. This is a clearer definition to replace Target Server.

If you contact more than one server during an activity, it reports the server whose total backend time was longest during that activity.

Displays the internal ID of this connection to Aternity. Every time you open a new browser tab, it has a unique session ID. Use this to determine the number of times a person opened a different session to Aternity.

Displays the type of request that a user signed in for:

• UI when using Aternity web application.

• aodata when using REST API queries.

• onapp when using WAC.

The SLA status of an activity determines if the response time complies with the SLA requirement (colored green ), or if it crossed the internal SLA threshold showing you risk breaking the SLA (colored yellow ), or if it crosses the external SLA threshold showing you have broken your SLA (colored red ).

See Server_Hostname

Displays the last date and time when Aternity received this data in ISO 8601 format. For example, July 20th 2016 at 03:15am in the UTC time zone appears as 2016-07-20T03:15:00Z or 2016-07-20T03:15:00+00:00. If the device was idle, or the user did not run any discovered or managed apps, this field remains empty.

In REST API, timeframe displays the earliest timestamp for all fields in this entry, in ISO 8601 format. For example, July 20th 2016 at 03:15am in the UTC time zone appears as 2016-07-20T03:15:00Z or 2016-07-20T03:15:00+00:00.

Add this as a filter when you need to separate out an aggregated measurement into the individual measurements with their time stamps. Alternatively, you can limit the scope of a query to the period between two static times, by creating a filter of a timeframe greater than or equal to (ge) the start time and less than or equal to (le) the end time.

For example: $filter=((TIMEFRAME gt 2018-06-09T16:00:00+01:00 and TIMEFRAME lt 2018-06-11T18:00:00+01:00) or (TIMEFRAME gt 2018-06-13T16:00:00+01:00 and TIMEFRAME lt 2018-06-15T18:00:00+01:00))

The total number of times a certain event occurs in the specified timeframe, calculated as summary.

When the same event occurs multiple times within one hour, it is counted just once for that hour. For example, if a background process crashes, cannot start and keeps crashing and starting again, creating hundreds of crash events within one hour, Aternity counts them as one Unique Hourly Event every hour. Displaying hundreds of rows of the duplicated crash event causes dashboard usability problems, makes it difficult to find a really important information, and reduces dashboard value and user experience. The Unique Hourly Events value minimizes duplications and repetitive information and enhances dashboard value and user experience.

Displays the reported location of the monitored device. The possible values are: Remote (VPN On), Remote (VPN Off), Remote (Non-Corporate VPN), In-Office.

User connection location and device connection location may be different when working remotely.

Displays the name of the department to which the user or the device belongs.

For example, if a user based in the Houston office is currently visiting the Chicago office, the Office is Houston, while the Location would be Chicago.

Displays user role descriptions customized by your organization, for example, Floor Sales, or Phone Support.

Only displays if you defined a custom attribute using this predefined name.

Displays the job title of the current user logged in to this device. In Windows, this is the same as the AD Title. This is sourced as follows:

• (Windows) Agent sends LDAP queries to the Active Directory (AD) to find information about the connected domain controller, then extracts the user's > Properties > > Organization > Title (Title).

• (Mobile) Displays only if you configured it in the Aternity advanced settings.

• (Macs) Displays only if you manually mapped this device to a department.

Displays the type of user who signed in to Aternity:

• LocalUser refers to a user which you defined locally inside Aternity.

• SamlUser refers to a user who signed in via SSO with the SAML protocol.

• LDAPUser refers to a user defined and managed in your Microsoft Active Directory.

• SamlGroupUser refers to users who signed in via SSO with the SAML protocol and were not explicitly defined but get their roles from an SSO Group they belong to.

(From Agent 9.2 or Agent for Mac 2.3) Displays the ID (MAC address) of the wireless access point, which the device currently uses to connect to a WiFi network.

(From Agent 9.2 or Agent for Mac 2.3) Displays the channel number which your device uses to connect to the WiFi router. Use this to ensure channels do not overlap one another in the same physical space. Your network performance significantly drops if a nearby WiFi router uses an overlapping channel with the same network speed.

Displays the total proportion of this hourly slot (between zero and one) when the device was connected to the network via WiFi.

(Macs only) Displays the background noise level of the WiFi connection for this device, measured in decibels. High noise levels lower the quality of a connection (signal to noise ratio), which slows the effective speed of that connection, which in turn lowers an application's performance.

(Windows Agent 9.2 or later, Macs and mobile devices) Displays the percent strength of the WiFi signal which the device receives, which can impact communication speed. For more details, hover your mouse over the graph in the dashboard to see the name of the WiFi network connection (SSID), the wireless network card MAC address (BSSID), and the WiFi channel.

(Macs only) Displays the WiFi signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which is the strength of the data measured in decibels minus the background noise. Low SNR impacts significantly on network performance. Higher speed connections require a higher SNR. For example, at 54 Mbps you need an SNR of at least 25 decibels.

(From Agent 9.2, or Agent for Mac 2.0 and mobile) Displays the name of the WiFi network where the device currently connects.

(Macs and in Windows from Agent 9.2) Displays the potential speed (bandwidth) of the WiFi connection at that moment, in megabits per second (Mbps). Lower WiFi bandwidth can be due to poor signal strength or overlapping channels, which slows the network time. In Windows, see the potential speed in the Control Panel > Network and Sharing > Adapter Settings > Status of the WiFi connection. In Macs, view it in About This Mac > System Report > Network > Wi-Fi.
