Monitoring and Tuning Your Server

Monitoring Connections

It is important to determine how your server responds when it is managing different numbers of connections. When you have collected data on connection trends, you can associate data about general server performance with the number of connections being served.

The next few sections discuss why connections have performance overhead, how you can use PerfMon and other tools to measure the overhead, and how to interpret the data you gather:

• Performance Overhead of Connections
• Using the IIS 5.0 Log to Monitor Connections
• Using PerfMon to Monitor Connections
