| Allow remote performance monitoring |
| The Windows 2000 Performance Monitor snap-in is a handy tool for monitoring a computer's |
| performance for troubleshooting and identifying potential performance problems. It's often |
| necessary to monitor a system locally, but you can also monitor remote systems with this snap-in. |
| The first step in collecting remote performance data is to configure the Performance Logs And |
| Alerts service on the collecting computer. This service must run in the context of an account that |
| has administrative rights on the computer being monitored. Open the Services console from the |
| Administrative Tools folder, open the Properties for the Performance Logs And Alerts service, and |
| specify the necessary account on the Log On page. Then, start (or restart) the service. |
| Follow these steps to begin collecting data: |
| Open the Performance Monitor snap-in from the Administrative Tools folder, right-click Counter |
| Logs, and click New Log Settings. |
| Enter a name of your choice and click OK. |
| On the General tab, click Add and enter the computer name in the Select Counters From |
| Select the objects and counters to capture, click Add, and click Close when you're finished. |
| On the General tab, specify the collection interval. |
| On the Log Files tab, specify a location and filename for the log and click OK. |
| When you're ready to start collecting, click the Counter Logs branch, click the counter, and click |
| Collecting data across the network naturally generates additional network traffic, so be selective |
| with how much and how often you collect data. When you've collected enough data, click the |
| counter in the Counter Logs branch and click Stop in the toolbar. |
