What and how to monitor with Performance Monitor


SharePoint 2010 runs on a server with Windows 2008. This has a built-in tool called Performance Monitor. As a SharePoint Administrator, you should be aware of this tool and its components.

Performance Monitor is a tool intended for use by IT professionals or computer administrators. There are many components that could limit the performance of your SharePoint system, including

  • Amount of memory (RAM)

  • Physical hard disks

  • Processor speed

  • Network

  • Virtual image and the architecture around it

Performance Monitor gives a graphical representation of the measures that are chosen. This provides you with a quick way to identify problems and the trends.

In this recipe, we will show how to use Performance Monitor and change a few of the available counters.

Getting ready

To create data collector sets, configure logs, or view reports, the console must run as a member of the Administrators group or the Performance Log Users group.
