RW NetServer 3 contains quite advanced support for statistics. When running the server on a Windows platform, one can use Windows Performance Monitor to obtain statistics on any number of RW NetServer's.
On Linux there are currently no way to extract the statistics from the RWNetServer.
On Windows 2 utilities are needed (see folder statistics_win32): kbmMWWinPerfMonRegistration.exe and kbmMWWinPerfMon.dll
Place them in a directory of your choise, but make sure that they are not removed from that particular directory after they have been registered.
To activate statistics add or alter the Server section of the rwnetserver.ini file.
[Server] UniqueIdentifier=RWNetServer3a GatherStatistics=1
UniqueIdentifier must be a unique identifying name of a RW NetServer instance. It can be anything consisting of characters and numerics, but can't contain spaces or other special characters except for underscore (_).
If there are multiple RWNetServer3.exe's running on the same machine, they must be named differently in the ini file, stored in different folders and thus must use different rwnetserver.ini files.
RWNetServer3a, RWNetServer3b etc. are examples of names.
Next the DLL must be registered on the Windows machine running RW NetServer. For the registration process to succeed, its required that the UniqueIdentifier is provided as an argument, e.g:
kbmMWWinPerfMonRegistration RWNetServer3a /register
This registration must be done for all the RW NetServers for which statistics are required.
When RW NetServer is started up and is being used (actively called by a client), some measurement points will be available in the Windows Performance Monitor application which can be found as the icon Performance in Control Panel/Advanced section.
