System Load

The following information can be displayed in the system load panel.
All information is saved in the system information logfile. It is possible to select if each information should be visible in the system load panel.

PingTime

The time it takes for a client to answer a ping message send by the server. The time is defied in milliseconds.

MessagesCountSend

The number of messages sent to the computer.

MessagesCountReceive

The number of messages received from the computer.

SendQueueSize

The number of messages in send queue.

ReceiveQueueSize

The number of messages in receive queue.

TimeBetweenStep

The time it takes for the computer to perform one simulation step. The value is in milliseconds and a low value is good.

osProcessCpuLoad

System information about the process CPU load.

osProcessCpuTime

System information about the process CPU time.

osSystemCpuLoad

System information about the system CPU load.

osCommittedVirtualMemorySize

System information about the usage of virtual memory.

osFreeSwapSpaceSize

System information about the free swap memory.

osSystemLoadAverage

System information about the average system load.


At the manager computer it is recommended to show the following information:

  • PingTime: The time it takes for a client to answer a ping message send by the server.
  • osSystemCpuLoad: System information about the system CPU load.
  • osProcessCpuLoad: System information about the process CPU load.
  • TimeBetweenStep: The time it takes for the computer to perform one simulation step. Low value is good.
  • ReceiveQueueSize: The number of messages in receive queue.


At the player computers it is recommended to show the following information:

  • osSystemCpuLoad: System information about the system CPU load.
  • osProcessCpuLoad: System information about the process CPU load.
  • TimeBetweenStep: The time it takes for the computer to perform one simulation step. Low value is good.
  • ReceiveQueueSize: The number of messages in receive queue.

Configurations for creating the example system load panels are viewed below.
The configuration is defined by the UI Main Layout and Panel UI Layout.


System Load Logfile

The system load are written in the InfoLog.xml file.
For the server computer the info log file is located in folder: .../C3System/C3Fire/Server/SystemLogs/
For the manager and player computers the info log file is located in folder: .../C3System/C3Fire/Client/SystemLogs/

Logfile Structure

A system log event is written every WriteSystemLoadInfoStepLength second, defined in the configuration. See below.

SystemLoad:20180124-214456 
MessagesCountSend: Mg=6 X=3 
MessagesCountReceive: Mg=1 X=1 
PingTime: Mg=77 X=98 
SendQueueSize: Se=0 Mg=0 X=0 
ReceiveQueueSize: Se=0 Mg=2 X=1 
TimeBetweenStep: Se=201 Mg=276 X=272 
osProcessCpuLoad: Se=5.850093884553095E-4 Mg=0.04493126238556117 X=0.03717874190927041 
osProcessCpuTime: Se=4703125000 Mg=21687500000 X=18921875000 
osSystemCpuLoad: Se=0.1542614404061553 Mg=0.15461187416576438 X=0.15569503131464768 
osCommittedVirtualMemorySize: Se=1215901696 Mg=1241403392 X=1236606976 
osFreeSwapSpaceSize: Se=1249189888 Mg=1247985664 X=1247985664 
osSystemLoadAverage: Se=-1.0 Mg=-1.0 X=-1.0

The system load event start with SystemLoad:20180124-213028
The numbers are a time stamp: YYYYMMDD-hhmmss

After that comes all values, example TimeBetweenStep: Se=202 Mg=297 X=275
Se = Server computer
Mg = Manager computer
X = Player X computer

UI Configuration

The UI configuration for the System Load Panel is defined in the session configuration xml file.
The UI layout is defined in two configuration elements UI Main Layout and Panel UI Layout.

  • UI Main Layout: Main ui layout that defines where System Load Panel should be in the main Window.
  • Panel UI Layout: Defines what should be visible inside the System Load Panel.


UI Main Layout (Top Panel)

The main ui layout is the layout that defines where all panels should be in top panel in the main Window. For more information see UI Main Layout.

If config include files are used then this configuration is in the file xxx-UIMain.coni

The Manager's main layout configuration is defined in the <SessionControlLayout> element inside the <ManagerConfig> element.
The players' main layout configuration is defined a the <Layout> element inside the <UserInterfaceLayout> element.

The System Load configuration is located in a <Object> element with the ID Name = "SystemLoad" inside the layout definition.

The System Load configuration contain the following parameters:
