Performance

  Hello !
I wanted to ask :
In the performance program of windows, If I add all the counters possible,
and set the interval into 2 seconds for example. Will it be able really to
log all the parameters in the given time ?
Would it say if it didn't log them ?

Thank you,
Clint

 I can't answer with any certainty because I haven't tried this. However, one
question...why would you want to log _everything_? There's a _lot_ of things
available to log in perfmon...we're talking hundreds, perhaps thousands if
you want to log stuff for every process too. What, specifically, are you
attempting to look for?

  well, it's a research and it's classified so I can't give details.
Sorry.

Thank you anyway,
Clint

you'd have a lot of missing data points.

 I believe that Performance will pop up a dialog box stating that samples
were missed, though it does not state how many samples.

If you're serious about performance monitoring, use Performance Logs and
Alerts instead of the System Monitor graph, which uses too many resources,
and monitor from a remote computer to further reduce load on the computer
you are monitoring.

Good luck with your classified research project! Let us know how it turns
out - unless you'd have to kill us afterwards.
