HTTP: Cache Design Elements

To optimize the response time keeps Domino design elements in memory.

Tune

To change the parameters of Web Cache, Open the server document and go

Internet Protocols → Domino Web Engine → Memory Caches.

and change the field value

Field

Description

Maximum cached designs

Enter the number of database design elements to cache for users. The default is 128. When a user opens a database, Domino maps each design element name to an identification number. This mapping procedure takes time. Use this field to Specify how many elements you want to store in memory so the next time the user accesses That element, it is Immediately available.


Statistics

  • Domino.Cache.Design.Count
  • Domino.Cache.Design.DisplaceRate
  • Domino.Cache.Design.HitRate
  • Domino.Cache.Design.MaxSize

Interpretation

  • Good = HitRate >= 97%
  • Good = DisplaceRate = 0

Reference

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=899&uid=swg21286171


Example To find out if you need to change this parameter, run the following command

 > Show stat domino.cache.design .*
 Domino.Cache.Design.Count = 128
 Domino.Cache.Design.DisplaceRate = 18.0328294698918
 Domino.Cache.Design.HitRate = 81.960226776015
 Domino.Cache.Design.MaxSize = 128

Observing these numbers we can deduce that the value of elements (Count) has reached the maximum (MaxSize), so elements in this cache are discarded ( DisplaceRate).

The optimal value for theHitrate is near 100%, andDisplaceRate is 0%. Increasing the value of the fieldMaximum cached designs improves response-time.


HTTP: Cache User Info

To optimize the response time keeps Domino design elements in memory.

Tune

To change the parameters of Web Cache, Open the server document and go

Internet Protocols → Domino Web Engine → Memory Caches.

and change the field value

Field

Description

Maximum cached users

Enter the number of users to cache. The default is 64. After a user successfully authenticates with a server, Domino stores in memory the user's name, password, and the list of groups to which the user belongs. Use this field to increase the number of users for whom Domino stores this information.


Statistics

  • Domino.Cache.User Cache.Count
  • Domino.Cache.User Cache.DisplaceRate
  • Domino.Cache.User Cache.HitRate
  • Domino.Cache.User Cache.MaxSize

Interpretation

  • Good = HitRate >= 97%
  • Good = DisplaceRate = 0

Reference

Example

To find out if you need to change this parameter, run the following command

 > Show stat domino.cache.user*
Domino.Cache.User Cache.Count = 68
Domino.Cache.User Cache.DisplaceRate = 0
Domino.Cache.User Cache.HitRate = 73.258795221749
Domino.Cache.User Cache.MaxSize = 64


Observing these numbers we can deduce that the value of elements (Count) has reached the maximum (MaxSize), so elements in this cache are discarded ( DisplaceRate).

The optimal value for theHitrate is near 100%, andDisplaceRate is 0%. Increasing the value of the fieldMaximum cached designs improves response-time.

SERVER

SERVER: NSF Buffer Pool

Buffering Database I/O


Tune

NSF_Buffer_Pool_Size_MB=n

  • Version 8.5 64 bits = Default value 1024
  • Version 8 64 bits = Default value 1024
  • Version 8 32 bits = Default value 512

Statistics

  • Database.Database.BufferPool.Maximum.Megabytes
  • Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer

Interpretation

Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer:

  • 89% < Bad
  • 90% = OK
  • 91% < Good < 97%
  • 98% <= Excellent

Reference

Recommendations for setting NSF_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE_MB

New default limit on UBM size in Domino 8

Example

To find out if you need to change this parameter, run the following command

 > Show stat Database.Database.BufferPool.*
 Database.Database.BufferPool.Maximum.Megabytes = 1024
 Database.Database.BufferPool.MM.Reads = 24
 Database.Database.BufferPool.MM.Writes = 7
 Database.Database.BufferPool.Peak.Megabytes = 1023
 Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer = 98.21

If the Database statistics Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer is lower than 97%,then you should consider tuning this parameter.

SERVER: NSF Cache

To minimize the time lags involved with opening and closing databases on a server, each server uses a database cache.

The Notes.ini NSF_DbCache_Maxentries control how many databases can reside in the cache at a maximum.

This NSF database cache is limited to:

  • 10000 entries = Domino 5.x and 6.x.
  • 20000 entries = Domino 7.x and higher


Tune

NSF_DbCache_Maxentries=X

Statistics

  • Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer
  • Database.DbCache.HighWaterMark
  • Database.DbCache.CurrentEntries
  • Database.DbCache.MaxEntries
  • Database.DbCache.OvercrowdingRejections

Interpretation

  • Good = HighWaterMark < MaxEntries
  • Good = 0 OvercrowdingRejections
  • Good = CurrentEntries < MaxEntries

Reference

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21279893

Example To find out if you need to change this parameter, run the following command

 > Show stat Database.Database.BufferPool.*
 Database.Database.BufferPool.Maximum.Megabytes = 1024
 Database.Database.BufferPool.MM.Reads = 24
 Database.Database.BufferPool.MM.Writes = 7
 Database.Database.BufferPool.Peak.Megabytes = 1023
 Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer = 98.21

If the Database statistics Database.Database.BufferPool.PerCentReadsInBuffer is lower than 97%,then you should consider tuning this parameter.

 > Show statDatabase.DbCache.*
 Database.DbCache.HighWaterMark = 2227
 ...
 Database.DbCache.MaxEntries = 3072
 ...
 Database.DbCache.OvercrowdingRejections = 0
 Database.DbCache.Size = 10003

If the Database statistics DbCache.OvercrowdingRejections is high, then you should consider tuning this parameter.

SERVER: Increase Name Lookup Cache

Tune

  • NLCACHE_SIZE

To implement, set the notes.ini parameter NLCACHE_SIZE equal to the number of bytes you want the maximum cache size to be.

Statistics

  • Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Used
  • Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Peak
  • Database.NAMELookupCacheMisses
  • Database.NAMELookupCacheHits
  • Database.NAMELookupCacheMaxSize

or you can use

show nlcache
[59600:00010-3163281152] NLCache version 4   
[59600:00010-3163281152] CacheLookups:        7,744,563 
[59600:00010-3163281152] CacheHits:           1,805,913 
[59600:00010-3163281152] CacheMisses:         3,202,857 
[59600:00010-3163281152] CacheNoHitHits:      2,735,793 
[59600:00010-3163281152] CacheResets          0       
[59600:00010-3163281152] Maximum Cache Size:  268,435,456
[59600:00010-3163281152] CacheSize:           41,581,976         6961 entries in Data Hash Table
[59600:00010-3163281152] HashSize:            1,639,776            25 entries in View Hash Table
[59600:00010-3163281152] CacheHitRate:        58      % 


Interpretation

  • Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Used is close to the Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Peak value
  • Database.NAMELookupCacheMisses remains above Database.NAMELookupCacheHits for hours
  • Database.NAMELookupCacheMaxSize with Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Peak and Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Used

Neither value should have reached Database.NAMELookupCacheMaxSize. If the numbers are close, increase the cache size

Example

NA

Reference

P.s.: Tip by @DanSilva

NLCACHE_SIZE=67108864 Resolving the problem

  • Increase the Namelookup cache to 128 MB using the following Notes.ini parameter:

NLCache_Size=134217728. ** Note default size in 8.5.3 64 Bit is 64 MB prior to this the default size was 16 MB.

  • Make sure the ODS of the names,nsf is 51. In one case, the ODS was 43 and NLcache was set to 64MB
  • Additional Info: Nlcache_size can be increased above 256 MB for 64 bit domino but should be increased with precaution and after consulting Lotus support.
  • If you are concerned with this statistic you should review the Domino Server stats.

Issue the following command via the Server Console:

Show Stat database.*

Review these results.

Database.NAMELookupCacheMaxSize Database.NAMELookupCachePool.Used

If used is near max size you may need to increase the pool accordingly.

ROUTER: RouterDbCacheSize

Represents the number of entries allocated for the router database cache. If not used, the default is based on NSFBufferPoolSize (three per MB), i.e. three times bigger than NSFBufferPoolSize, and the maximum is capped to 20000 entries at startup, but reallocation may occur and the number of 20000 entries could exceed it. In brief: it represents a cache of opened mail database handles.
