[Gllug] web server performance

[Alain Williams]

Can anyone offer tips on monitoring web server performance ?

I am helping to look after a small web server (apache/php/mysql) on a small box
(64MB bytemark - running debian). It works well most of the time, nice & fast,
but occasionally some users report very sluggish response. It is running at
a couple of hits a second, the database part is very light.

Looking at the apache log doesn't really help since that shows when apache sent the
reply to the browser - it does not show how long it took between when the request
arrived and when the reply was sent.
