Mono ASP.Net Web Service CacheDuration hit ratio, under Linux

Question

I have developed an ASP.Net Web Service targeting Mono. I have deployed it to an OpenSUSE 11.1 VM running Mono under Apache.

Is there a way to monitor the @OutputCache hit ratio for my ASP.Net app deployed for Mono under a Linux OS similar to the Windows Performance Monitor, for example? This does not have to necessarily involve performance counters, but rather a method for getting the ratio.

This is related to WebMethod calls decorated with the CacheDuration attribute, not a custom data caching scheme.

Answer 1

Mono has supported .NET "Performance Counters" since Mono 2.0, but AFAICT only three standard ASP.NET counters are currently implemented: Requests Queued, Requests Total, and Requests/sec. I imagine others, such as the cache hit ratio, would be pretty straightforward to implement.

You can inspect the performance counters using the performance counters API or the mperfmon GUI tool.
