A. Listen to what your server is trying to tell you.
B. Enable slow page logging.
C. Obtain and Analyze a heap dump.
D. Review memory utilization with VisualVM and the VisualGC plug-in.

Reading the CPU graphReading the CPU graphReading the CPU graphReading the CPU graph
A. Green line = Total CPU utilization
B. Red line = Kernel / System usage
C. Green – Red = Application CPU usage
D. High kernel usage is often indicative of an I/O issue.
E. Waiting on I/O means your application code is not executing.

A. Enable slow page logging
B. Process the server.log file with findslow.cfm (at www.cfcode.net) to get a report on the most-often used slow templates.

A. Identify overloaded nic with task manager.
B. Identify host issues with ping or pathping.
C. Identify network connections with netstat –a, or using Free Extended Task Manager.
D. More detailed investigation can be done with managed routers, or tools like WireShark (formerly Ethereal) to capture and analyze all network traffic.

A. Capture a .trc file using SQL profiler with the ‘tuning’ profile selected
B. Run your .trc file through the database tuning advisor (available on SQL Standard or higher) and quickly locate database slow-downs, and even implement recommended fixes.
