Since MaxClients is so big, I'm assuming that you have a pre-fork MPM Apache.
In this case, you are strongly recommended to have maxProcessors >= MaxClients, since each client will have it's own connection to a processor. If you include something like connectionTimeout="60000", then the Tomcat processors will eventually die off if the Apache child doesn't get any requests for awhile. Mostly useful if you are running an older Linux kernal. I think that the /manager/status Servlet for 5.0.x includes this information. However, since it's at most the number of Apache children, you should be able to approximate it via: $ ps -ef | grep httpd | wc -l "Iratxe Etxeberria Sainz-Ezquerra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! I am reviewing my apache-tomcat configuraction, trying to tunning the performance. I use AJP/1.3 connector between apache and tomcat 5.0.28. I have the default value for maxProcessors attibute (20). In apache I have maxclients to 150 value. Does someone know how works it exactly? One processors by each request from apache to tomcat, I suposse.. Is there any way to know how many processors are running in the machine?
