Hits section

Table 1. Hits section
XML Console Display Description
<HitsCaptured> Captured Count of hits where the HTTP parser was able to form a complete request and response hit.
<HitsCapturedPerSec> Captured before hit processing per second Provide current rate of captured hits (above). This statistic provides an indicator of the number of hits before hit processing, rejection, etc.
<HitsRejectedResponse> Rejected response Not implemented or used.
<HitsRejectedResponseBody> Rejected response body Not implemented or used.
<HitsRejectedHits> Rejected hits When in Unica Discover's capture mode type BusinessIT, the count of hits that had their response rejected where their URL extension matches the extension exclusion list. The hit is still formed and delivered but the response is missing, i.e. just the request record. For example, URL extensions excluded, GIF, BMP, CSS, JS, etc.
<HitsUndeliveredHitsWhilePassive> Undelivered hits while passive Displays hits dropped while DNCA is passive node.
<HitsCurrentNonSslHitsPerSec> Current non-SSL hits per second Provide current rates of non-SSL hits per second being processed. This statistic provides an indicator of the amount of hits processed that are not SSL decrypted by DNCA. Some sites may have all their SSL traffic terminated before DNCA receiving it.
<HitsMaxNonSslHitsPerSec> Maximum non-SSL hits per second Provide maximum rates of non-SSL hits per second being processed. This statistic provides an indicator of the amount of hits processed that are not SSL decrypted by DNCA. Some sites may have all their SSL traffic terminated before DNCA receiving it.
<HitsAvgNonSslHitsPerSec> Average non-SSL hits per second Provide average rates of non-SSL hits per second being processed. This statistic provides an indicator of the amount of hits processed that are not SSL decrypted by DNCA. Some sites may have all their SSL traffic terminated before DNCA receiving it.
<HitsCurrentToDeliveryHitspersec> Current to delivery hits per second Provide current rates of hits sent to the Network Capture delivery system. The delivery system may be overwhelmed due to various network socket issues, such as saturating the NIC bandwidth, which could cause it to drop hits.
<HitsMaxToDeliveryHitspersec> Maximum to delivery hits per second Provide maximum rates of hits sent to the Network Capture delivery system. The delivery system may be overwhelmed due to various network socket issues, such as saturating the NIC bandwidth, which could cause it to drop hits.
<HitsTotalCaptureType1> Total Capture Type 1 Hits Counts of hits of Capture Type 1 that have been captured.
<HitsTotalCaptureType2> Total Capture Type 2 Hits Counts of hits of Capture Type 2 that have been captured.
<HitsTotalCaptureType3> Total Capture Type 3 Hits Counts of hits of Capture Type 3 that have been captured.
<HitsTotalCaptureTypeOther> Total Capture Type Other Hits Counts of hits of unidentified capture type that have been captured.
<HitsTotalLargeHits> Total Hits Identified as Too Large Counts of hits that have been identified as too large to capture.
<HitsTotalStreamingHits> Total Streaming Hits Counts of total streaming hits that have been captured.
<HitsTotalNonHttpTypeErrors> Total non-Http type errors Counts the number of hits that fail to have the "HTTP" protocol string in its header. The hit is dropped when this occurs.
<HitsTotalBogusHttpErrors> Total invalid HTTP errors Counts hits that don't follow specific HTTP protocol format requirements for the headers, such as missing header chars, extraneous CR or LF chars, etc. The hit is dropped when this occurs.
<HitsTotalClientSpeaksFirstErrors> Total responses before requests errors Indicates that an HTTP hit was reassembled with a response before a request.
<HitsTotalMoreRespThanReqErrors> Total more responses than requests errors Indicates within a TCP connection where multiple hits are being formed that there were more responses than requests. This means that there were insufficient requests to match up with hit responses. After this condition is detected within the TCP connection, all following hits are dropped.
<HitsTotalUnansweredReqErrors> Total unanswered requests errors Indicates within a TCP connection that there were missing responses for the number of requests present for multiple hits.
<HitsTotalUnfinishedReqErrors> Total unfinished request errors Total count of HTTP requests that finished before its reported size indicated. These errors can occur if the request header for content length was incorrectly computed for the actual request body data. For example, stated length is greater than actual data.
<HitsTotalUnfinishedRespErrors> Total unfinished response errors Total count of HTTP responses that finished before its reported size indicated. These errors can occur if the response header for content length was incorrectly computed for the actual response data. For example, stated length is greater than actual data.
<HitsTotalRespTimerExpiredErrors> Total response timer expired errors Indicates within a TCP connection that a response did not occur after a request within this TCP transmission timeout configuration setting. The default value is 120 seconds.
<HitsTotalXmitTimerExpiredErrors> Total packet transmission timer expired errors Indicates within a TCP connection that packets must occur within this TCP transmission timeout configuration setting. The default value is 120 seconds.
<HitsTotalTlapiReparseRespNullErrors> Total TLAPI invalid response errors Counts hits in TLapi where no response is present.
<HitsTotalTlapiReqStartExtraBytes> Total TLAPI request start extra bytes Flags hits in TLapi that have extraneous CR, LF, or Null chars at the start of the request. This is just a warning condition count. Though it's not conforming, the extra chars are ignored, and checking continues if the rest of the request is valid.
<HitsTotalTlapiInvalidReqErrors> Total TLAPI invalid request errors Counts hits in TLapi where no request is present. The hit is dropped when this occurs.
<HitsTotalTlapiReqCorruptErrors> Total TLAPI request corrupt errors Counts hits in TLapi if the request unexpectedly ends. Typically, there can be some extraneous chars that are filtered out leaving nothing left for a request. Or if after a request method, GET, POST, etc., nothing follows in the line. The hit is dropped when this occurs.
<HitsTotalTlapiReparseRespCorruptErrors> Total TLAPI response corrupt errors Counts hits in TLapi that were found without a response. This can occur when a TCP connection closes unexpectedly before a hit response was captured. The incomplete hit is still sent to TLapi to confirm if a complete hit does exist or not.
<HitsTotalInflateRequestCandidates> Total candidates for inflate request Total number of hits with a compressed request body (POST data) where decompression is attempted.
<HitsTotalInflateRequestsCompleted> Total requests inflated Total number of hits where a compressed request body is successfully decompressed.
<HitsTotalInflateRequestsFailed> Total failed attempts to inflate the request Total number of hits where decompression of a compressed request body failed.

<HitsTotalDroppedByPrivacy> Total dropped by privacy rules Total hits dropped by privacy
<HitsTotalDroppedBySampling> Total dropped by sampling Total hits dropped by sampling
<HitsTotalDroppedHitArrivedTooLate> Total dropped because hit arrived too late Total dropped because hit arrived too late
  • If the difference between the timestamp of the first request packet and the arrival timestamp when the entire hit is submitted to the DNCA pipeline is more than one hour, then the hit is marked as "too late" for normal processing. These hits are dropped from further processing by the DNCA.
    • The one hour limit is hard-coded and cannot be modified.
    • All hits entering the DNCA pipeline have an arrival timestamp (TLapiArrivalTimeEx) inserted into the request record in the [timestamp] section.
  • Delays in the arrival of the entire hit into the DNCA pipeline can be caused by many different issues, most of which are sourced outside of the DNCA.
