Viewing the SharePoint report
The SharePoint report displays the FPSE and WebDAV performance improvements for the time period specified.
Before you can view these statistics, on the client-side SteelHead, choose Optimization > Protocols: HTTP, select Enable Per-Host Auto Configuration, select FPSE and WebDAV and click Apply. The SharePoint report contains this information:
Request Rate displays the total number of FPSE and WebDAV requests per second.
FPSE Metadata Cache Hits displays 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 displays 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.
The SharePoint report answers this question:
• How many FPSE and WebDAV responses were served locally?
Mouse over a specific data point to see what the y values and exact time stamp were in relation to peaks.
The Riverbed system reports on performance for periods up to one month. Due to performance and disk space considerations, the display granularity decreases with time passed since the data was sampled. The data is collected at a 5-minute granularity for the entire month.
You view the SharePoint report under Reports > Optimization: SharePoint.
