The bucket Parameter

The following performance buckets are predefined in Sun Java System Web Server:

• The default-bucket records statistics for the functions not associated with any user-defined or built-in bucket.

• The all-requests bucket records.perf statistics for all NSAPI SAFs, including those in the default-bucket.

  You can define additional performance buckets in the magnus.conf file (see the perf-init and define-perf-bucket functions).

  You can measure the performance of any SAF in obj.conf by adding a bucket=bucket-name parameter to the function, for example bucket=cache-bucket.

  To list the performance statistics, use the service-dump Service function.

  As an alternative, you can use the stats-xml Service function to generate performance statistics; use of buckets is optional.

  For more information about performance buckets, see the Sun Java System Web Server 6.1 SP11 Performance Tuning, Sizing, and Scaling Guide.
