Net Connection Pool Monitoring

The pooler maintains ownership of the physical connection.

Net connection pool monitoring.

Right click the graph background and then click add counters. Monitoring the database at real time is trivial but we are holding one session of the database and invites lot of security issues. It manages connections by keeping alive a set of active connections for each given connection configuration. 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. Tracking connection pool performance all datadirect connect for ado net data providers install a set of performance monitor perfmon counters that return information that lets you tune your applications for performance. Whenever a user calls open on a connection the pooler looks for an available connection in the pool. In the performance object drop down list click sql server.

The following illustrates a custom dashboard created to simply monitor the database throughput rate and response time against the size of a connection pool. On the first request to an endpoint when no existing connections exist a new http connection will be established and used for the request. Connection pooling reduces the number of times that new connections must be opened. To minimize the cost of opening connections ado net uses an optimization technique called connection pooling.

Database connections are vital in large enterprise applications. Number of active connections within appdynamics you can monitor and baseline in your production application the health of your ado net connection pool strategy. The following table describes the perfmon counters that you can use to tune pooling for your application.
