Check for High Load on a Geo SCADA Expert server

You need to use the Server Links category to determine whether there is a high load on a Geo SCADA Expert server. You can then proceed to diagnose the cause of the high load, or check for client load or abnormal network conditions.

To check for a high load on the server:

  1. On the Geo SCADA Expert server, Run the Server Status Tool.
  2. Expand the hierarchy, then expand the Server branch, and select the Server Links category.
  3. The Server Links category provides status information about each link that is used by the clients to send data to the Geo SCADA Expert server (see Server Links).
  4. Use the Server Links information to determine if the cause is related to server loading:
    1. Examine the number of links. If the number is excessive in comparison with the number of clients that are connected to the server, there may be a server loading problem. However, the number of links is not the only indication of server loading problems (see next step).
    2. Examine the durations of the Longest Req entries. If the longest requests are 1000 ms or more, there may be a server loading problem. This is even more likely if there were an excessive number of links (see previous step).
  5. If you suspect there is a server loading problem, due to either or both of the problems indicated in the above procedure, proceed to Diagnose and Resolve the Server Load Problems.
  6. If there are no indications of a server loading problem, proceed to Attempt to Resolve Client Load and / or Network Problems.
