Architectural question for tomcat-apache running Virtual Hosts

2001-05-22 Thread Brandon Cruz




  I sent this question over the weekend, but don't think anyone 
  saw it. I have an 
  apache-tomcat configuration running on Linux servers. Does anyone have 
  any experience or know if there is a limit to how many virtual hosts 
  youshould set up on one instance of tomcat? What is the most 
  traffic or connection limit before I should either use another instance of 
  tomcat or use an entirely new server? How can I track the status of 
  everything to see when we are getting too busy? Is there a good software 
  I can use? Maybe even some basic Linux commands on Linux I can use to 
  keep track of things? I am pretty new to these types of issues, if 
  anyone can provide some insight or tell me where to look to do a little 
  research on this topic, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in 
  advance...

Hi,

At the company we work at, we work on a linux box, where everyone has
running it's own environment of apache and tomcat. We run about 20 tomcats,
started sperately from the same tomcat distrubution, but with a different
TOMCAT_HOME set. They are all running on different ports though and I don't
know if that is  something you want.
We have regurlaly 60 people shopping at the same time in 1 shop (with a hugh
load on images) and everything still runs smoothly...

Mvgr,
Martin

You can try using a testing tool, like Loadrunner, to stress your
application and see what the results are, and get quantifiable values - not
gee it seems a bit slower today

Basically it starts up a bunch of threads that appear to be users of your
application and they follow a set of instructions, like playing a recorded
macro.
