​Intel PerfSpect Tool

Intel provides thePerfSpect tool for Linux to capture relevant hardware and software details from a server.

PerfSpect output is highly useful for identifying system bottlenecks or settings and tunings that are not optimized for the workload. When opening a support case with Intel for Ethernet-related performance issues, include PerfSpect output text files for each Linux server in the test configuration. Include all files.

To use PerfSpect for system analysis:

1. Download and install PerfSpect: git clone https://github.com/intel/PerfSpect.git cd PerfSpect
2. To generate a configuration report: ./perfspect report

   or

   Collect system configuration with performance benchmark insights: ./perfspect report --benchmark all Note:Attach report files for each server to the Intel support case for analysis. HTML files are most useful. Attach all files for a comprehensive system check.
