Monitoring the Server Using Statistics

• Enabling the Subagent
• Understanding SNMP Messages
Monitoring the Server Using Statistics
You can use the statistics feature to monitor your server's current activity. The
statistics show you how many requests your server is handling and how well it is
handling these requests. You can view some statistics for individual virtual servers,
and others for the entire server instance. If the interactive server monitor reports
that the server is handling a large number of requests, you may need to adjust the
server configuration or the system's network kernel to accommodate the requests.
For more information, see the Netscape Enterprise Server Performance Tuning, Sizing,
and Scaling Guide.
Once you enable statistics, you can view statistics in the following areas:
• connections
• DNS
• KeepAlive
• cache
• virtual servers
NOTE
For a description of the various server statistics for which the interactive server
monitor reports the totals, see the Monitor Current Activity page in the online help.
CAUTION

Enabling Statistics

To enable statistics, follow these steps:
218 Netscape Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide • August 2002
Enterprise Server does not monitor SSL-enabled listen sockets. As an
alternative, create a listen socket that is not enabled for SSL and a virtual
server that only tracks statistics from the other virtual servers.
When you enable statistics/profiling, statistics information will be available
to any user of your server. See the description of stats-xml in the Netscape
Enterprise Server NSAPI Programmer's Guide for more information.
