https://community.appian.com/discussions/f/administration/10097/measuring-bottlenecksHello, We suspect that we are experiencing contention / bottlenecks within our 7 engines and we think that adding in 2 more engines will help to alleviate this. How does one measure contention / bottlenecks within an engine? How do I measure our systemen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/44631?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 02 Apr 2017 00:03:13 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:92aa668c-3f09-4275-9dc3-b6a1388b3ab0abhinavg712Micheal, <br /> <br /> Before adding new engines, try to find out the rootcause. <br /> <br /> 1. Monitor your server performance <br /> 2. Make sure checkpointing is happening at regular intervals<br /> 3. Cleanup script is being scheduled to purge the unecessary logs/data/archives <br /> 4. Check your execution engine and analytic engine for the memory consumption. <br /> 5. Do check if you need your process data to be used for reporting pupose, else extra load on analytic engine can be avoided<br /> 6.. Do check your Data managment settings for heavily used process models. <br /> 7. If adding extra engines, do add same number of execution and analytic as they work in pair<br /> <br /> <a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/16.3/playbook/Server_Monitoring.html#Engine_Servers">forum.appian.com/.../Server_Monitoring.html</a><br /> <a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/17.1/Adding_Execution_and_Analytics_Engines.html">docs.appian.com/.../Adding_Execution_and_Analytics_Engines.html</a><br /> <br /> Abhinav Gupta<div style="clear:both;"></div>
