Performance Report - Sun Microsystems Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Manual

Monitoring Server Performance
Configuration
You must specify all configuration information for performance buckets in the magnus.conf
and obj.conf files. Only the default-bucket is automatically enabled.
First, you must enable performance statistics collection and perfdump.
The following examples show how to define new buckets in magnus.conf:
Init fn="define-perf-bucket" name="acl-bucket" description="ACL bucket"
Init fn="define-perf-bucket" name="file-bucket" description="Non-cached responses"
Init fn="define-perf-bucket" name="cgi-bucket" description="CGI Stats"
The examples above create three buckets: acl-bucket, file-bucket, and cgi-bucket. To
associate these buckets with functions, add bucket=bucket-name to the obj.conf function for
which to measure performance.
Example
PathCheck fn="check-acl" acl="default" bucket="acl-bucket"
...
Service method="(GET|HEAD|POST)" type="*~magnus-internal/*"
fn="send-file" bucket="file-bucket"
...
<Object name="cgi">
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/cgi"
Service fn="send-cgi" bucket="cgi-bucket"
</Object>
For more information, see "The bucket Parameter" in Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 1
Administrator's Configuration File Reference.

Performance Report

The server statistics in buckets can be accessed using perfdump. The performance buckets
information is located in the last section of the report returned by perfdump.
The report contains the following information:

Average, Total, and Percent columns give data for each requested statistic.
Request Processing Time is the total time required by the server to process all requests it
has received so far.
Number of Requests is the total number of requests for the function.
