Load on server

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi,I would like to know how much transactions for example per minute or per hour a domino server is processing. I would like to know this information in order to establish whether the current hardware is good enough to handle further workload prior releasing other databases.

Is there a server console command which returns this value.

thanks

Console Command = Show ServerAdmin Help (etc)

Syntax: Show Server

Description: Shows server status information including the server name, data directory on the server, time elapsed since server startup, transaction statistics, and the status of shared, pending, and dead mail.

Tip To view server information from the Domino Administrator, open the Domain bookmark in the bookmark bar on the left, right click on a server, and then choose Server Properties.

This is only the first bit…there is more in the help

You should look at running OS performance task monitoring as well…

Window Perfmon etc. - by process and pick all the tasks starting with “n” etc.

Dont forget the Disk Read and Write and important stats for a Domino Server.

thanks for the info Nathan.Are you saying that this is a good indicator of the transactions per minute.Why is ‘Last Hour’ figure less than ‘Last minute’?

[047C:000E-0530] Transactions/minute: Last minute: 4819; Last hour: 714; Peak: 61027

Here is what the Admin help says

Transactions

Total number of times the server was used since the server started. Transactions include: opening a database, closing a database, writing to a database, routing mail to a database, and reading from a database.

Transactions/minute

Total number of transactions on this server in the past minute and the past hour. “Peak” is the highest number of transactions per minute since the server started.

Peak # of sessions

Maximum number of sessions (users and servers connected at one time) since the server started.
