Performance Issues with iPlanet EWS 4.1 SP7

Trying to collect some performance stats on our Web Server -- running on

a Sun Netra T-1, Solaris 8, 256 MB memory, external SSL accelerator.

When I try to configure 'perfdump' - per the Performance Tuning Guide -

unable to get the .perf file to display. (http://myhost/.perf)

Has anyone had any luck using the perfdump utility? Any other config.

issues?

Any other ways to check performance?

Any tried & true configuration changes that have helped speed up

response time?

Also, is 256 mb memory sufficient for a Web Server in general?

Thanks.

Yes, it does work.

There are a number of ways to enable .perf output. Here's one:

Add the following line to the top of the NameTrans section in your default

object in obj.conf:

NameTrans fn=assign-name from="/.perf" name="perf"

and add the following lines to the end of your obj.conf file:

<Object name="perf">

Service fn="service-dump"

</Object>
