Monitoring ASP Server Performance

On UNIX and Linux systems, the Server Monitoring page of the Sun Chili!Soft ASP Administration Console displays real-time information about ASP Server performance.

Note

This feature is not available with Sun Chili!Soft ASP for Windows. On Windows systems, performance monitoring information is available via the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Performance Monitor. See your Microsoft documentation for more information.

If you have disabled performance monitoring, as described in "Disabling Performance Monitoring" in this chapter, you cannot view this server performance information. Disabling server performance monitoring is a recommended security precaution if you are running Sun Chili!Soft ASP in a shared Web hosting environment.

To view real-time information about the ASP Server

1. Open the Administration Console by using the following URL:

http://[HOSTNAME]:[PORT]

where [HOSTNAME] is the hostname of your Web server and [PORT] is the port on which the Administration Console is running (5100 by default).

The Server Management page displays.

2. In the left navigation pane, click monitor a server.
