NDS performance counters in the Performance Monitor
  • TTSServicerunningState
    : If 
    TAS
     is hosted by 
    NDS
    , indicates the running status of the text-to-speech (TTS) service. Values:
    • Running=1
    • Stopped=0; in this state, all calls will fail
  • Loop Alert Init/Sec
    : Indicates how quickly alert messages are being processed.
    The ideal value is 2. If the value is 0, there are performance issues.
    • If the value is 0 for more than 5 minutes, the 
      NDS
       platform is not processing alert messages.
    • If the value is 0 for 1 minute, the system is slow. Check the other monitoring counters to identify other problems.
  • Loop Delivery Execution/sec
    : Indicates whether the 
    NDS
     platform is processing tasks.
    The ideal value is 2. If the value is 0, there are processing issues.
    • If the value is 0 for more than 5 minutes, the 
      NDS
       platform is not processing individual tasks.
    • If the value is 0 for 1 minute, the system is slow. Check the other monitoring counters to identify other problems.
