■
Sizing and configuration: Determining the type of hardware needed to support
your performance goals. See

Parameter tuning: Setting configurable parameters to achieve the best
performance for your application. See
Chapter 5, "Optimizing Apache JServ"

Performance monitoring: Determining what hardware resources are being used
by your application and what response time your users are experiencing. See
Chapter 2, "Monitoring Your Web Server" .
■

resources, or why the response time exceeds the desired limit.
