IS 4506 Tuning and Monitoring Internet Information Server

u Performance Overview n IIS Design Considerations n Monitoring the services n Factors affecting Internet Information Server performance n Internet Information Server performance tuning

u IIS Design Considerations n PDC or BDC and IIS Server n IIS with its own Domain (PDC) for security n IIS Server outside the organizational Domain. n Database, SMTP, NNTP, Index, FTP Servers n Hardware requirements n Network Connections - NIC and line speed n Using SSL

u Monitoring the Services n Performance Monitor Counters (383 & 390 S) n Event Viewer logs and Internet Information Server logs n Site Server - Content Analyzer & Report Writer n Other tools l Netstat - Snapshot (314 MS) l Network Monitor (captures frames information)

Factors Affecting Internet Information Server n Bandwidth l l n Internet connection type Network connection capacity Hardware l CPU bottlenecks l RAM bottlenecks l Network adapter card bottlenecks l Hard disk bottlenecks

Factors Affecting Internet Information Server n Network Application Speeds l ISAPI, CGI, and ASP l ODBC logging l Security features - SSL

Internet Information Server Performance Tuning n Restricting bandwidth (Override computer) n Balancing memory against response speed n Limiting connections and setting timeout values n Internet Information Server cache n Maximizing processor share n Increasing CPU Speed
