Installing perfdump

To install perfdump, you’ll need to modify two files, mime.types and obj.conf. These files are found in the suitespot/https-[servername]/config directory.

Add the following line to your mime.types file (you can add this anywhere in the file):

type=perf exts=perf

Add the following line to your obj.conf (add this as the first Service function in the file):

Service fn=service-dump type=perf

Restart your server software, and you should now be able to access the URL http://yourhost/.perf. This will display the perfdump statistics. Similarly, if you request the URL http://yourhost/.perf?refresh=5, this will display the perfdump statistics and inform the navigator to automatically refresh the statistics every 5 seconds.
