NS$instance_name: Delivery Channels Object

The NS$instance_name: Delivery Channels object provides counters for monitoring delivery channels that are configured for an instance of Notification Services.

The delivery channel counters monitor one or all delivery channels on the local server. If the engine is running on the local server but no distributors are enabled on that server, the counters are available but do not return data.

Counter Description Purpose

Messages Written To Transport

Total number of messages written by the selected delivery channel since the distributor started.

Use to determine the activity level of one or all delivery channels.

Messages Written To Transport Rate

Number of messages written per second by the selected delivery channel.

Use to determine how delivery channel activity changes over time.

After selecting a counter, select an instance. You can select All instances, which returns values for all delivery channels on the local server, or you can select just one of the delivery channel names, all of which are defined in the configuration file.

Important

Performance counter instances are available only when the instance is running.
