What tools do you use for measuring performance?

[tbtcust]

I am using ReportNet in a Linux environment and would like to identify the bottle necks end to end.

End to end meaning, from the user opens the report and click finish to the time the results as sent back to the user's workstation.

What tools do you use for identifying all the steps and measuring the performance of each?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm quite happy with nmon, a free tool from IBM for AIX and Linux systems. I've run it with AIX, Slackware, Debian, Suse and Redhat on Intel and Power5 servers.

I also use the nnmon analyser tool. You basically schedule your nmon to output to file and nmon analyser reads this file through a macro creating detailed graphs etc.

You can also use nmon2rrd to automatically create .gif files for use on a webserver to publish your data.
Details on the above nmon download link.
