To simulate this activity I navigated to a share on another computer on the network and browsed through the folders. Performance Logs and Alerts. With the use of logs you are able to capture data that you can analyze later. Logged counter data information can be exported to spreadsheets and databases for future review and reporting.
Alerts allow you to set an action that will be performed when specified counters reach a given value. These actions include sending a network message, executing a batch file, recording an item in the application log of the event viewer, and to start logging performance data. You can use Alerts to send out warnings when disk space is running low or when network or level of CPU utilization poses a risk. The above image displays the counter log window that allows you to specify which counters should be monitored.
The schedule permits you to set the start and stop time of logging. Go to the Log Files tab if you want to customize the name, size and location of the log file. The above displays the trace log window which allows you to change what events will be logged by the system provider. If you wish to add non system providers then select that option and press Add.
You can run the this process as a different user, type the username in the Run As box and press the Set Password box to enter the password of the user. Keep in mind that the more events you choose to log the more space will be required, especially if you choose page faults.
In my example I have set it to monitor the packets received errors and if they exceed three then an alert will be triggered. The schedule tab gives you the option to set the start of stop times of the scan. The image above shows the alert properties box. Apart from bottlenecks slowing down the entire system, they do not allow you to take full advantage of your network infrastructure.
Using the performance monitor on your Windows Server will help you identify where the problem is coming from. There is one more deduction we can make from the queue data on the chart.
If you compare the white line with the thick green line near the bottom, you can tell that the disk is writing more rather than reading. To see the diagrams more clearly, double click and expand the thumbnails into larger diagrams.
This utility will also guide you through troubleshooting; the dashboard will indicate whether the root cause is a broken link, faulty equipment or resource overload.
Its second best feature is the ability to monitor the health of individual VMware virtual machines. If you are interested in troubleshooting, and creating network maps, then I recommend that you give this Network Performance Monitor a try.
The other side of the coin is that a defrag can cut queues in half. Incidentally, I am always on the lookout for such cost-nothing solutions. Starting with Windows , Microsoft has licensed part of Diskkeeper. What you can do is defrag a server drive-by-drive. What you cannot do is schedule a defrag for the middle of the night, neither can you select multiple drives for defragging.
The logical solution is to buy faster disks. Go to your existing disk manufactures site and compare their figures with the data you collect for:. Another cost-nothing solution would be to move the files or database to another server. Alternatively you could use the load-balancing properties of DFS. This would be my least favoured option.
Technically it is a neat idea, to stripe data across two or more disks. To speed up the process I wrote my lines with 3 pens at once. Well you are both correct. I thought after I posted that that depending on hardware specs and software design and implimentations or what the server is going to be doing web server, database server ect.
It really is not enough info. I guess I was shooting for a ball park for most servers which again can very. I have been working on developing a test environment. Lots of reading lots of test and lots to learn.
I have discovered what I believe to be a genuine coding bug in Windows Server Enterprise x64 SP2 with the Performance Monitor - but haven't been able to find any information regarding a fix, and also dont know of any way to submit it. I have noticed in the Performance monitor, the PhysicalDisk : "Avg. I would love to know.
Equally - if someone knows a fix for it it's not a show stopper, but would be nice to resolve for monitoring etc. The content you requested has been removed.
