PerfMon # 3: Configure PerfMon from GUI in local computer;

Okay,, in less that 12 hours I wrote the second installment on configuring PerfMon using CLI now I am writing to do the same from GUI.


If you go to RUN and type 'perfmon', "Performance Monitor" graphical user interface shoots up. Inside "Data Collector Sets" and then "User Defined", you will see a counter name "NOC.PERF.2SEC.




In this post;


1. We will now create the same thing using GUI.
2. We will go into the properties of that counter and explain it's feature and variables in detail.


Just to tell you, please don't freak out by that name NOC.PERF.2SEC. It can be anything. In this NOC is Network Operation Center, PERF is performance counter and 2 Sec is the sample interval of counter.

Let's begin;

1. Go to Run and type PerfMon.
2. Expand "Data Collector Sets".
3. Right click on "User Defined".
4. Click on "New" and then "Data Collector Sets"



5. Give it a name. We will name it as "NOC.PERF.2SEC". The radio button "Create from template (Recommended)" is selected.

6. On next screen select "System Performance" and click on "Next".

7. On next window it is asking you give the location where you want to save the log file.

8. The next page is "Save & Close" then "Finish". It was simple. Is not it ?

No it is not. Because lot more is still yet to be done.
