Monitoring SharePoint Efficiency (i) – Tools for monitoring efficiency

Efficiency is a key issue, but it is also a tricky issue. Inefficiencies can affect the user's experience, but many IT operations are not willing to take the effort to improve efficiency, because they still work. Especially after a few years of use of the system, mostly considered to be too much content, and so on.

To help operators better monitor the efficiency of SharePoint, there are a number of tools built into SharePoint that allow operators to discover efficiency issues.

If you find that SharePoint is becoming slow, you can generally find information from the following places:

1. SharePoint Diagnostic logs.

SharePoint has recorded a lot of additional information in the diagnostic log. You can set up in central administration and which levels of logs will be saved on disk.

Of course, when you're done with the diagnostics, remember to turn the logs back to the previous level, because the diagnostic log is very space-intensive.

2. Performance Monitor

This is not a tool for SharePoint, but a tool for Windows. This tool can be used to monitor windows,sharepoint, SQL Server, such as monitoring CPU, memory, IO and so on.

3. Developer Dashboard

This is a tool designed for developers to analyze the problem with the code for a custom solution.

4. Usage reports

This is a tool that comes with SharePoint, and administrators can view reports in the Admin center.

From here you can view the usage of the website and, the website, the list/document library.

5. Fiddler

Fiddler is a free third-party tool that monitors HTTP traffic and can be used to parse any HTTP request.

On the whole, SharePoint is a complex system that looks for efficiency issues and sometimes requires a combination of tools to find the root cause of the problem.
