Monitoring the Server Using HTTP
You can monitor your server's usage with the interactive server monitor. You can see how many requests your server is handling and how it is handling these requests. If the interactive server monitor reports that the server is handling a large number of requests, you might need to adjust the server configuration or the system's network kernel to accommodate the requests.
To monitor your server:
-
From the General Administration page, click the Enterprise Web Server servername button > Server Status > Monitor Current Activity.
-
Click Monitor Server Activity on Port port_number.
The interactive server monitor reports the totals for the following server values on a new screen:
- Bytes Transferred: The number of bytes the server is transferring
- Total Requests: The number of requests the server is handling
- Bad Requests: The number of bad requests the server is handling
- 2xx: The number of status codes ranging from 200 to 299 that the server is handling
- 3xx: The number of status codes ranging from 300 to 399 that the server is handling
- 4xx: The number of status codes ranging from 400 to 499 that the server is handling
- 5xx: The number of status codes of 500 and higher that the server is handling
- xxx: The total number of 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, and 5xx status codes the server is handling minus timeouts and other errors that did return an HTTP status code
- 200: The number of successful transactions the server is processing
- 302: The number of relocated URL status codes the server is processing
- 304: The number of requests for which the server tells the client to use a local copy of a URL instead of retrieving a newer version from the server
- 401: The number of unauthorized requests the server is handling
- 403: The number of forbidden URL status codes the server is handling.
