[Zope] RE: how to test connection speed on external zope server

[Roel Van den Bergh]

Hi all,

Kevin,
Already tried JMeter, lots of trouble installing on W2k.
Got it working but couldn't quite figure out how to read output -> I'm a
No-Tech :-(
Those stats and graphs are not very readable to ordinary users.

I do not kknow how to implement this within Zope or serve to my users as a
statistics page

You can try JMeter available from
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html.


Dieter,
with 'connection speed' I mean real numbers on download-upload.
For example I'm working with ADSL, witch means (in my case) 128 KB down,
20KB up.
Our Zope server is located elsewhere in a data warehouse to "ensure" faster
access.

I know some sites have online "speedometers" like
http://speedtest.zdnet.be/zdnet/default.asp?LanguageCode=be? (this is a
Dutch one)
wich messures your current connection to the internet and other sites.

You can use "-M" logging to analyse Zope request processing.
Search the mailing list archives for "requestprofiler".

This does not measure the "connection speed" (do not know what that is).
You may also use "ab" (part of "Apache") for benchmarking.

To all the others who kindly replied: still investigating your answers.
I hope I can figure out what you meant :-)

TIA, Roel
