Steps
Install or locate the perf_analyzer CLI matching your Triton server version (now maintained in its own triton-inference-server/perf_analyzer repo)
Run perf_analyzer -m <model_name> -u <server-url> to get a baseline latency/throughput reading
Sweep concurrency with --concurrency-range <start>:<end>:<step> to find the throughput/latency knee
For models with dynamic input shapes, specify --shape <input_name>:<dims>; omit this for fixed-shape models
Compare results across batch sizes with -b <batch_size> and record the concurrency level that meets your latency SLO
Known gotchas
perf_analyzer's docs/repo location has moved (from the main server repo to a dedicated perf_analyzer repo); match the flag reference to your installed version
Passing --shape for a model without dynamic axes can produce an error rather than being silently ignored
Confirm whether --concurrency-range and any request-rate mode are mutually exclusive in your installed version before combining them
