How do I Monitor and Tune Tools?
Before tuning an application server for performance, it is necessary to monitor the resources that may be used by the server and obtain information. Console and Deploy Tool are primarily used for monitoring and tuning. Deployment descriptors and server configuration files may be edited to set the tunable parameters. Information from the server statistics and diagnostic can be used to enhance performance.
The Console gives a good idea of how much a resource or processing time is being consumed. Third party stress tools can be used to bombard the Server with requests and simulate traffic. The Server can be tuned based on the feedback received.
