IS-IT--Management
I've begun to have problems with my ASP site, and I'm looking into the Performance Monitor on the IIS box. It is running on Windows 2000 Server. It is a bit confusing, and I have a few questions. If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it:
1) % Processor Time: I'm assuming this is a measure of how much the CPU is taxed from moment to moment... I see that it spikes up to 100% often, and near 100% quite often. Is this normal, or bad? My ASP pages should be doing very little computation, other than cycling through ADO Recordset objects to generate tables and forms from a database.
2) Requests Queued: Someone told me this should always be 0. Is that right? Mine sits at 0 for a while, then slowly climbs up to around 20, then shoots back down to 0 all at once, and repeats. Any ideas?
3) Is there a good article or book that explains all of this, in plain English?
It is reporting 0 Errors per second, the Request Execution Time is at 0 mostly, spiking up every now and again, but not at the same time the CPU is spiking, and not causing other counters to spike either. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks,
Travis
