I want to measure performance of my server. The architecture is Apache2 talking to Tomcat over mod_jk. Requests are over HTTPS with mutual authentication. The client does not reuse connections, therefore I believe a new SSL session is established for each transaction.

If I configure Apache to log %D in mod_log_config, does that duration include the time spent doing SSL, including the TLS handshake? If not, how do I measure that part of the transaction?

You can try doing some stress test with JMeter for an end to end test. Also enable some monitoring options in Tomcat like jmxremote.

Yes, of course I can measure the transaction on the client cide, but I want to eliminate the network overhead. And %D already gives more accurate numbers than measuring inside Tomcat. – ykaganovich Jun 21 '11 at 20:22
