Checking the performance timing logs
As an administrator or application developer, you want to know why performance is slow. You can check the performance timings by using the Platform Logging object of the Administrator Console, or by using the Performance Analyzer.
About this task
To use the Performance Analyzer in the product, go to Tools > Utilities > Performance Analyzer Manager. The Performance Analyzer is a platform tool that allows you to enable performance logging, and helps you to analyze and diagnose issues in system performance without importing the information into a spreadsheet or database. For more information, see Performance Analyzer.
To use the Platform Logging object of the Administrator Console, perform the following procedure. You can enhance the analysis of the performance timings information by limiting the number of users while you test.
Procedure
- In the Administrator Console, open the Platform Logging object.
- In the right pane, under the Performance Timings category, select the objects whose performance you want to test.
- If you need multiple steps, in the Write to log field, add a time stamp to the log file.
- In the Logging Actions section, click Apply.
