B.3 Enhancing Performance
The following suggestions may improve performance and speed processing:
- In most cases, performance issues can be resolved by controlling the size of the error logs you process.
- Use filtering to create a smaller error log containing a subset of the events in the original log. Smaller error log files can speed processing and address performance issues associated with manual analysis and translation. Filtering may be performed using either the CLI or the web interface and information on filtering log files is available in Sections 5.9 and 7.6.
- Manage the system error log so that it does not grow indefinitely. One way to accomplish this is to periodically archive and reset the current error log by following the guidelines in the WEBES Installation Guide.
- Processing may be slowed by a fragmented disk. If processing is consistently slow, defragment your disk.
- If your system is performing a resource-intensive operation (such as scavenging), wait for the activity to complete and for the system to become idle again, then repeat the command or operation that failed.
