Posted on by

So I found an issue in my syslog like the below. I edited the /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf file and changed CacheSize=8M to CacheSize=16M.

ab – Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool for apache stress test

Read an article ab – Apache HTTP server benchmarking tool for apache stress test about the ‘ab’ command which can be used to stress test a website.

I used it and figured out that my webserver could handle about 100 requests per second.

The command I used was:


# ab -c 100 -t 10 -r http://www.example.org/test.php
