Data collector sets can be created in one of three ways: via Performance Monitor,
via template, and manually. Creating a data collector set using Performance Monitor
involves adding all your counter objects to Performance Monitor and then using that list
of counters to create your data collector set. Windows provides a number of out-of-box
templates you can use as a starting point for creating data collector sets. You can also create
your own templates from existing data collector sets that can be imported and used as
a template for creating new data collector sets. You can also manually create a data collector
set and pull data??”event trace data and system configuration information??”from performance
counters. Data collector sets can also be used to monitor system performance and
generate alerts when certain thresholds are reached.
Hands-On Exercise: Creating a Data Collector
Set from the Performance Monitor
In this example, we create a data collector set by monitoring a few key performance metrics
about our server, which we will call our Baseline Performance Metric.
1. Choose Start | Administrative Tools | Reliability and Performance Monitor.
2. Expand the Monitoring Tools node in the navigation pane.
3. Select Performance Monitor.
4. By default, your % Processor Time is automatically added and is already
monitoring your system.
5. Click the green plus (+) icon above the graph to add counters.
