Hi Gurmit,
Below is the scenario:
- We have 10 .Net application servers , all of them have around 4-5 IIS pools(applications), all the applications are common in all the 10 .Net servers. So the users hit the load balanced VIP and the request comes to any of the app server based on the load balancing and for a particular request the IIS application is invoked on any of the server.
- The problem comes when we find a slow transaction and when we look into the call graph and find that there were several WCF or https exit calls being made, and it also shows the TO and FROM thing for that call. But since we named the Tiers automatically , APPD created tiers based on the name of the Site\IIS applications. So the FROM thing is always shown as Tier name and we are never able to know which server was involved in the slowness.
- Hence I renamed the tier based on the server name, so now each server is a tier (ex Server1), and under that there are several nodes (1 node for each worker process of that IIS app pool). But as soon as I renamed , I am seeing at each tier the BT limit is crossed and the BT list shows “Server1- All other traffic”.
What is the best way to name the tiers in .NET application now?
