Description
Request Rate
Select to display the total number of FPSE and WebDAV requests per second.
FPSE Metadata Cache Hits
Select to display the Microsoft Front Page Server Extensions (FPSE) metadata cache hits per second. Shows how many FPSE requests were served locally, resulting in performance improvements. SSL connections and files smaller than 5 MB can experience significant performance improvements.
Microsoft Office 2007/2010/2013 clients use FPSE when communicating with SharePoint 2007/2010 servers.
WebDAV Metadata Cache Hits
Select to display the Microsoft Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) metadata cache hits per second. RiOS predicts and prefetches WebDAV responses, which saves multiple round-trips and makes browsing the SharePoint file repository more responsive.
The navigator shadows the request rate series.

About Report Data
