Performance Monitoring

Hi All
I am running web applications over multiple database and web servers. Each
web application runs on a Web Server and connects to a seperate Database
Server. As more web applications are created, we have to purchase more web
and database servers as the systems slow down. The problem is that we don't
really know if we need more database or more web servers. Does anyone know a
good tool for monitoring web AND database servers to help us to decide when
to buy new servers?
We are running windows 2003 (IIS 6) and SQL Server 2000.
Thanx in advance
Joe
Well Profiler & Perfmon should allow you to see how SQL Server is
performing. IF you want 3rd party tools you might want to look at Quest for
SQL Server. Veritas has a product line called i3 that will monitor all
levels of the app. From the web server to the db and give you plenty of
reports etc. to show where problems may be occurring. But they do cost a
few dollars.
