Installing a Proxy Server

Measuring the Cache Hit Ratio

• To view cache performance by using the ProxyStatistics Web service– Log onto the server whose performance you want to

monitor– For Team Foundation Server Proxy using the default

settings for port: http://localhost:8081/VersionControlProxy/v1.0/ProxyStatistics.asmx

– Click QueryProxyStatistics, and then click Invoke– An XML output file shows data including

OverallCacheMisses, CacheHitsPercentage, and CacheMissPercentage

<ProxyStatisticsInfo CurrentCacheSize="356352" NoOfRequests="82" OverallCacheHits="41" NoOfFilesInCache="41" OverallCacheMisses="41" CacheHitsPercentage="50" CacheMissPercentage="50" />
