Open Google Cloud Console, then go to Compute Engine. Then go to VM Instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Select the machine that is having problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. To see the following things&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many times is the disk being read?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To check further, we need to monitor the disk: how many times the disk is read and how much time it takes to read<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the disk takes time to read and write, the disk may be slow because&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Too many database operations are happening on the same disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The application is working with large files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To resolve this, we can try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upgrading to a disk like an SSD&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting application files and database files on separate disks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making it more efficient to access files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using cloud storage for files instead of storing them on the virtual machine&#8217;s disk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigating Networking Issues<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the application infrastructure is fine. The user faces a slowness issue; it may be due to network delay. This can happen when the application is in one place. The database is in another place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the frontend application is running in one region. The backend database is in another region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a user does the request&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">User &gt;&gt; Application Server &gt;&gt; Database in another region &gt;&gt; Application Server &gt;&gt; User<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To resolve the issue please refer to the steps as below<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Kindly open the Network Intelligence Center, then go to the Performance Dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. See below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;How long it takes for data to travel between regions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;If any data is being lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;If there are any network connectivity issues<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should also check the load balancer metrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Search Network Services, then Load Balancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. See below&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;How long it takes for the backend to respond<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the backend is healthy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How requests are being distributed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To fix networking issues, we can try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putting services closer to the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping the application and database services in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setting up load
