DotNetNuke Web Applications Monitoring
The DotNetNuke architecture built on the ASP.NET framework has many components and interdependencies. Its multi-tiered capabilities supports scaled-out applications in a distributed environment. The same web pages can also be loaded on multiple web servers in a load balanced architecture to support higher volumes of web traffic.
 
 Web Application Analyzer
  • Analyze web pages from distributed servers as a single application
  • Locate top page errors, longest running, and top load pages
  • Historically Trend page errors, views, performance
  • Gain understanding of entire distributed web performance inside and out

Pages calling asp.net methods, executing sql statements, and downloading information and files can slow down the rest of the web application. Correlation of web pages with performance counters helps to identify the web pages which are impacting server and application performance.

 Web Page Correlation
  • Identify pages impacting server performance
  • Identify pages that cause delays or errors when other pages are executing (usually caused by locking)
  • Correlate page effect on dependant application layer and infrastructure

  Number of errors not handled by user code, but by the default error handler.
  Exceptions
  \.NET CLR Exceptions(_Global_)\# of Exceps Thrown / sec
 
  This counter displays the number of exceptions thrown per second. These include both .NET exceptions and unmanaged exceptions that get converted into .NET exceptions e.g. null pointer reference exception in unmanaged code would get re-thrown in managed code as a .NET System.NullReferenceException; this counter includes both handled and unhandled exceptions. Exceptions should only occur in rare situations and not in the normal control flow of the program; this counter was designed as an indicator of potential performance problems due to large (>100s) rate of exceptions thrown. This counter is not an average over time; it displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples divided by the duration of the sample interval.
 
  High Number of Exceptions being thrown
  Loading
  \.NET CLR Interop(_Global_)\# of Stubs
 
  This counter displays the current number of stubs created by the CLR. Stubs are responsible for marshalling arguments and return values from managed to unmanaged code and vice versa; during a COM Interop call or PInvoke call.

  \.NET CLR Loading(_Global_)\Current appdomains
 
  This counter displays the current number of AppDomains loaded in this application. AppDomains (application domains) provide a secure and versatile unit of processing that the CLR can use to provide isolation between applications running in the same process.
  \.NET CLR Loading(_Global_)\Current Assemblies
 
  This counter displays the current number of Assemblies loaded across all AppDomains in this application. If the Assembly is loaded as domain-neutral from multiple AppDomains then this counter is incremented once only. Assemblies can be loaded as domain-neutral when their code can be shared by all AppDomains or they can be loaded as domain-specific when their code is private to the AppDomain.
  \.NET CLR Loading(_Global_)\Rate of Assemblies
 
  This counter displays the number of Assemblies loaded across all AppDomains per second. If the Assembly is loaded as domain-neutral from multiple AppDomains then this counter is incremented once only. Assemblies can be loaded as domain-neutral when their code can be shared by all AppDomains or they can be loaded as domain-specific when their code is private to the AppDomain. This counter is not an average over time; it displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples divided by the duration of the sample interval.

  Memory
  \.NET CLR Memory(_Global_)\# Bytes in all Heaps
 
  This counter is the sum of four other counters; Gen 0 Heap Size; Gen 1 Heap Size; Gen 2 Heap Size and the Large Object Heap Size. This counter indicates the current memory allocated in bytes on the GC Heaps.
  \.NET CLR Memory(_Global_)\# Gen 0 Collections
 
  This counter displays the number of times the generation 0 objects (youngest; most recently allocated) are garbage collected (Gen 0 GC) since the start of the application. Gen 0 GC occurs when the available memory in generation 0 is not sufficient to satisfy an allocation request. This counter is incremented at the end of a Gen 0 GC. Higher generation GCs include all lower generation GCs. This counter is explicitly incremented when a higher generation (Gen 1 or Gen 2) GC occurs. _Global_ counter value is not accurate and should be ignored. This counter displays the last observed value.
  \.NET CLR Memory(_Global_)\# Gen 1 Collections
 
  This counter displays the number of times the generation 1 objects are garbage collected since the start of the application. The counter is incremented at the end of a Gen 1 GC. Higher generation GCs include all lower generation GCs. This counter is explicitly incremented when a higher generation (Gen 2) GC occurs. _Global_ counter value is not accurate and should be ignored. This counter displays the last observed value.
  \.NET CLR Memory(_Global_)\# Gen 2 Collections
 
  This counter displays the number of times the generation 2 objects (older) are garbage collected since the start of the application. The counter is incremented at the end of a Gen 2 GC (also called full GC). _Global_ counter value is not accurate and should be ignored. This counter displays the last observed value.
  \.NET CLR Memory(_Global_)\# Induced GC
 
  This counter displays the peak number of times a garbage collection was performed because of an explicit call to GC.Collect. Its a good practice to let the GC tune the frequency of its collections.
  \.NET CLR Memory(_Global_)\% Time in GC
 
  % Time in GC is the percentage of elapsed time that was spent in performing a garbage collection (GC) since the last GC cycle. This counter is usually an indicator of the work done by the Garbage Collector on behalf of the application to collect and compact memory. This counter is updated only at the end of every GC and the counter value reflects the last observed value; its not an average.
 
  Above average amount of resources being used for garbage collecting
 
  High amount of resources being used for garbage collecting
  Processes
  \Process(inetinfo)\% Processor Time
 
  % Processor Time is the percentage of elapsed time that all of process threads used the processor to execution instructions. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a computer, a thread is the object that executes instructions, and a process is the object created when a program is run. Code executed to handle some hardware interrupts and trap conditions are included in this count.
  \Process(inetinfo)\Handle Count
 
  The total number of handles currently open by this process. This number is equal to the sum of the handles currently open by each thread in this process.
  \Process(inetinfo)\IO Read Bytes/sec
 
  The rate at which the process is reading bytes from I/O operations. This counter counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network and device I/Os.
  \Process(inetinfo)\IO Write Bytes/sec
 
  The rate at which the process is writing bytes to I/O operations. This counter counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network and device I/Os.
  \Process(inetinfo)\Page Faults/sec
 
  Page Faults/sec is the rate at which page faults by the threads executing in this process are occurring. A page fault occurs when a thread refers to a virtual memory page that is not in its working set in main memory. This may not cause the page to be fetched from disk if it is on the standby list and hence already in main memory, or if it is in use by another process with whom the page is shared.
  \Process(inetinfo)\Private Bytes
 
  Working Set is the current size, in bytes, of the Working Set of this process. The Working Set is the set of memory pages touched recently by the threads in the process. If free memory in the computer is above a threshold, pages are left in the Working Set of a process even if they are not in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from Working Sets. If they are needed they will then be soft-faulted back into the Working Set before leaving main memory.
  \Process(inetinfo)\Thread Count
 
  The number of threads currently active in this process. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a processor, and a thread is the object that executes instructions. Every running process has at least one thread.
  \Process(inetinfo)\Virtual Bytes
 
  Virtual Bytes is the current size, in bytes, of the virtual address space the process is using. Use of virtual address space does not necessarily imply corresponding use of either disk or main memory pages. Virtual space is finite, and the process can limit its ability to load libraries.
  \Process(inetinfo)\Working Set
 
  Working Set is the current size, in bytes, of the Working Set of this process. The Working Set is the set of memory pages touched recently by the threads in the process. If free memory in the computer is above a threshold, pages are left in the Working Set of a process even if they are not in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from Working Sets. If they are needed they will then be soft-faulted back into the Working Set before leaving main memory.
  \Process(w3wp)\% Processor Time
 
  % Processor Time is the percentage of elapsed time that all of process threads used the processor to execution instructions. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a computer, a thread is the object that executes instructions, and a process is the object created when a program is run. Code executed to handle some hardware interrupts and trap conditions are included in this count.
  \Process(w3wp)\Handle Count
 
  The total number of handles currently open by this process. This number is equal to the sum of the handles currently open by each thread in this process.
  \Process(w3wp)\IO Read Bytes/sec
 
  The rate at which the process is reading bytes from I/O operations. This counter counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network and device I/Os.
  \Process(w3wp)\IO Write Bytes/sec
 
  The rate at which the process is writing bytes to I/O operations. This counter counts all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network and device I/Os.
  \Process(w3wp)\Page Faults/sec
 
  Page Faults/sec is the rate at which page faults by the threads executing in this process are occurring. A page fault occurs when a thread refers to a virtual memory page that is not in its working set in main memory. This may not cause the page to be fetched from disk if it is on the standby list and hence already in main memory, or if it is in use by another process with whom the page is shared.
  \Process(w3wp)\Private Bytes
 
  Private Bytes is the current size, in bytes, of memory that this process has allocated that cannot be shared with other processes.
  \Process(w3wp)\Thread Count
 
  The number of threads currently active in this process. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a processor, and a thread is the object that executes instructions. Every running process has at least one thread.
  \Process(w3wp)\Virtual Bytes
 
  Virtual Bytes is the current size, in bytes, of the virtual address space the process is using. Use of virtual address space does not necessarily imply corresponding use of either disk or main memory pages. Virtual space is finite, and the process can limit its ability to load libraries.
  \Process(w3wp)\Working Set
 
  Working Set is the current size, in bytes, of the Working Set of this process. The Working Set is the set of memory pages touched recently by the threads in the process. If free memory in the computer is above a threshold, pages are left in the Working Set of a process even if they are not in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from Working Sets. If they are needed they will then be soft-faulted back into the Working Set before leaving main memory.
