Chapter 6: Using The Windows Performance and Reliability Monitor

Using the Resource Overview Screen Provides snapshot data for key resource –CPU –Disk –Network –Memory Greater detail available in each section 2

CPU CPU Utilization Percentages Maximum Frequency Aggregate for All CPUs Detail –Image –PID –Description –Threads –CPU –Average CPU 3

Disk Total Current I/O Highest Active Time Detail –Image –PID –File –Read (B/min) –Write (B/min) –IO Priority –Response Time 4

Network Total Traffic Percentage of Available Bandwidth Detail –Image –PID –Address –Send (B/min) –Receive (B/min) –Total (B/min) 5

Memory Hard Faults Percentage of Physical Memory Used Details –Image –PID –Hard Faults/min –Working Set (KB) –Shareable (KB) –Private (KB) 6

Using the Monitoring Tools Performance Monitor Reliability Monitor 7

Using Performance Monitor Real Time Resource Data Counters Graphs –Line Graph –Histogram –Report View Data Points –Minimum –Average –Maximum –Current Sample Rate Data Source 8

Using Reliability Monitor Measure of a systems reliability Categories –Software Changes –Application Failures –Hardware Failures –Windows Failures –Miscellaneous Failures 9

Data Collector Sets Collect counter data over time Can also collect WMI Data Custom.NET data providers Templates –Basic –System Diagnostics –System Performance System Collector Sets –LAN Diagnostics –System Diagnostics –System Performance –Wireless Diagnostics 10

Reports Based on Collector Sets Automatically Generated each time a collector set is run High Level Summary Reports are able to be drilled down 11
