You are employed as an administrator at ABC.com. ABC.com makes use of Microsoft SharePoint
Server 2013 in their environment.
ABC.com’s SharePoint environment includes two web applications, named ABCWebApp1 and
ABCWebApp2.
ABCWebApp1 serves as ABC.com’s intranet site. ABCWebApp2 includes numerous custom apps
that recover information from outside systems using Microsoft Business Connectivity Services
(BCS) Web Parts.
You have noticed that response times are slow, and suspect that the cause is one of the custom
apps. You want to find the custom app causing the problem.
Which of the following actions should you take?
A.
You should consider making use of the SharePoint Web Analytics service application.
B.
You should consider making use of the SharePoint Health Analyzer.
C.
You should consider making use of perfmon.exe.
D.
You should consider making use of the Event log.
Explanation:
Answer A is incorrect, it should be B. see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/3074739c-95be-4804-81f0-3b32881cd9ad/tool-to-identify-slow-rendering-from-custom-apps?forum=sharepointgeneral
I’m not so sure about this but here are some resources to let you draw your own conclusion.
If you look at SharePoint Health Analyzer specifically all that it will monitor is the presence of unwanted connectors. The event log will also monitor BCS, but it’s not going to provide performance metrics. Out of the options listed I would choose C simply because the Health Analyzer is too limited out of the box to determine BCS performance, the Event Logs will return errors, and perfmon is the only listed that monitors actual performance.
