Chapter 11. Performance monitoring,
analysis, and tracing
Performance tuning is about adapting the system settings in order to achieve
optimum system behavior in terms of response time, throughput, and resource
consumption. It is essential to regularly monitor and maintain your system, and
identify and resolve any performance problems that have occurred, or before
they occur. In this chapter, we discuss the baseline measurement, monitoring
tools, and techniques to use for performance monitoring, analysis, and tracing for
a Content Manager environment.
We cover the monitoring tools at the operating system level.
DB2 monitoring tools covered in this chapter include: DB2 Memory Visualizer,
DB2 Health Monitor and DB2 Health Center, db2pd, DB2 Performance Expert,
DB2 Explain, and DB2 Design Advisor.
The WebSphere Application Server monitoring tools we cover include: Tivoli
Performance Viewer, WebSphere JVM verbosegc, and Java Virtual Machine
Profiler Interface.
