Analyzing Performance Bottlenecks
We will explain how to find a performance problem that might be affecting one of your servers. We outline a series of steps to lead you to a concrete solution that you can implement to restore the server to an acceptable performance level.
Below the topics will be covered:-
The following steps are used as our quick tuning strategy:
1. Know your system.
2. Back up the system.
3. Monitor and analyze the system’s performance.
4. Narrow down the bottleneck and find its cause.
5. Fix the bottleneck cause by trying one change at a time.
6. Go back to step 3 until you are satisfied with the performance of the system.
Tip: You should document each step, especially the changes you make and their affect on performance.
