​Intel PerfSpect Tool

Intel provides a PerfSpect tool (see https://github.com/intel/PerfSpect) for Linux that captures relevant hardware and software details from a server.

PerfSpect output is extremely helpful in 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, be sure to include PerfSpect output (text file) for each Linux server in the test configuration (please include all files).

To use PerfSpect for system analysis:

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

   OR

   Collects 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. Please attach all files for a comprehensive system check.
