Difference between revisions of "RepServer Throughput Script"

Revision as of 12:14, 20 February 2009

If you want to know just how much data repserver is processing, then this is the tool.
This script will tell you:
o average throughput per queue (mb per minute)
o average throughput combined (all queues)
o estimated time for a replicate to catch up (Re-sync ETA)
o current queue sizes
There is also a maximum recorded throughput option but this appears not to work well as some of the figures have been suspicious.
The real maximum throughput can be established by noting when the replicates start to fall behind in conjunction with the current throughput figures.
This script can be particularly useful in helping to ascertain if you need to throw more CPU at your repserver box.

Notes:
1) You will need to cron this script with the insert option (rs_throughput.sh insert) and allow it to collect at least 2 samples before being able to run it interactively to obtain throughput information. The script runs silently when run with the insert option.
2) The script automatically determines the elapsed interval in minutes between samples so you can cron the script to your preferred interval, be it 3 minutes or 10 minutes, the mb/min figure will be calculated correctly.
3) In addition to configuring the script to your environment, you will also need to create the rs_throughput table prior to first run. 4) Re-sync ETA: this value is provided based on the current throughput average for the period specified. For example, this means that running rs_throughput.sh 15 may give a different Re-Sync ETA compared to running rs_throughput.sh 20

# Script: rs_throughput.sh
# Author: Bob Holmes - email: cambob@gmail.com
# Date  : 19/09/08
# Version : 1.0
# Usage : Run "rs_throughput.sh help" for full usage information.
# Description : This script enables monitoring and reporting
#               of repserver throughput.

# Modification history:
# 19/02/09 : Bob Holmes : Script modified to enable easier customisation prior
#                         to release on Sybase wiki. (modifications not tested)
# --------------------------
# Comments: This script relies on the reporting..rs_throughput table for data
#           collection and reporting.  The definition for this table can be
#           found at the end of this script.
