Net Connection Pool Monitoring

The following table describes the perfmon counters that you can use to tune pooling for your application.

Net connection pool monitoring.

Connection pooling reduces the number of times that new connections must be opened. It manages connections by keeping alive a set of active connections for each given connection configuration. The pooler maintains ownership of the physical connection. Right click the graph background and then click add counters.

Whenever a user calls open on a connection the pooler looks for an available connection in the pool. The following illustrates a custom dashboard created to simply monitor the database throughput rate and response time against the size of a connection pool. To monitor connection pooling with performance monitor click start point to programs point to administrative tools and then click performance to start performance monitor. Ado net performance counters can be used to monitor the status the connection resources that the application uses.

The socketshttphandler establishes a pool of connections for each unique endpoint which your application makes an outbound http request to via httpclient. If a pooled connection is. Improper usage of connections leads to performance issues. Monitoring the database at real time is trivial but we are holding one session of the database and invites lot of security issues.

Number of active connections within appdynamics you can monitor and baseline in your production application the health of your ado net connection pool strategy. On the first request to an endpoint when no existing connections exist a new http connection will be established and used for the request. To minimize the cost of opening connections ado net uses an optimization technique called connection pooling.
