Using Performance console
You can use the Performance console to monitor specific performance counters.
These counters enable you to
Estimate system requirements needed to support an anticipated workload
Create a performance baseline to measure the impact of configuration changes or application upgrades
Monitor application performance under certain loads, whether real or artificially generated
Verify that hardware upgrades have the desired impact on performance
Validate that changes made to your system configuration have the desired impact on performance
Reporting Services includes two performance objects: RS Web Service, which monitors report server performance, and RS Windows Service, which monitors scheduled operations and report delivery.
The RS Web Service performance object includes a collection of counters used to track report server processing typically initiated through interactive report viewing operations. These counters are reset whenever ASP.NET stops the Reporting Services Web service.
The RS Windows Service performance object includes a collection of counters used to track report processing that is initiated through scheduled operations.Scheduled operations include subscription and delivery, report execution snapshots, and report history.
If you have multiple report server instances on a single computer, you can monitor the instances together or separately. Choose which instancesto include when adding a counter. For more information about using
Performance console and adding counters, see the Microsoft Windows product documentation.
Use performance monitoring tools to monitor report server performance by evaluating server activity, observing trends, diagnosing system bottlenecks, and gathering data that can help you determine whether the current system configuration is adequate. To access Performance console, follow these steps:
1. Choose Start➪Performance from the Administrative Tools menu to open the System Monitor.
The System Monitor appears.
2. Add Counters to the list by right-clicking in the grid showing various counters in the view and selecting Add Counters from the menu that appears
3. Select the RSWeb service counters.
In the Add Counters dialog, select RSWeb Service from the drop- down box for the Performance object. Then click the All Counters radio button. Finally, click OK.
4. View the System Monitor.
You see all RD Web counters below the chart displayed on the performance monitor, each corresponding to a unique color on the display.
You can use Performance console and Event Viewer to create logs and alerts about report processing and resource consumption. To create a performance log, proceed as follows:
1. In Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Performance.
2. In the Windows Performance tool, expand Performance Logs and Alerts, right-click Counter Logs, and then click New Log Settings.
3. Type a name for the counter log and click OK.
4. Click Add to add as many counters as necessary for your Notification Services instance and other important values, such as processor time, disk time, and database counters.
The number of counters you add doesn’t significantly affect system performance.
5. Click Close.
6. Click the General tab and, under the section Sample Data Every, configure a sampling interval.
Start with a moderate sampling interval, such as five minutes, and then adjust the interval if necessary. The shorter the interval, the more system resources and disk space will be used. Additionally, intervals
shorter than the quantum period can cause a performance report to show sporadic performance numbers because you will have processing spikes mixed with no activity.
7. On the Log Files tab, configure the properties of the log file. You can view comma-delimited files later in a reporting tool such as Microsoft Excel.
8. On the Schedule tab, configure a monitoring schedule.
