| Jan 16, 2012 at 22:39 | comment | added | gWaldo | Not being a Mod myself, is a periodic review of the FAQ occur, just to ensure that it still makes sense? The thinking being that is for instance this suggestion were applied, but found that it caused undue friction/pain it could be reviewed and rescinded? | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 22:39 | comment | added | sysadmin1138 Mod | @gWaldo The same generic answer applies to both yes. However, the second allows the answerer to give specific advice for tools to use, which the first doesn't. That's the key differentiators in my mind. The second is specific enough to not be Overly Broad or Too Localized. | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 22:36 | comment | added | gWaldo | I myself think that the second question is better worded, but really the answer is the same for both: you need to test your environment yourself. I think that that is a reasonable general-purpose answer that fits every case (and so, meets FAQ criteria.) questions about tools and methods of benchmarking / capacity-planning are welcome, however. | |
