Win2008 Performance and Availability Detection Tool Configuration Guide

A new performance detection tool is included in the Windows Server 2008 operating system: Windows Performance Diagnostic Console, this new MMC tool integrates previously independent performance logs and warnings, server Tools such as performance consultants, performance monitors, and system monitors. The new tool provides a graphical interface for custom data collection and event tracking sessions. At the same time, the new tool also includes an availability monitor. This MMC tool is used to track changes in the system and demonstrate the impact of these changes on system stability through a graphical interface.

What is the performance and availability of detection

In fact, the new early performance testing tools have been reflected in earlier this year of client products Windows Vista, in Windows Vista Introduced a new performance center to help users understand the performance of their own computers and manage and resolve performance-related issues.

Windows Vista's built-in performance diagnostics detect and correct many performance issues. Performance Diagnostics provides users with tools and services to diagnose common problems, including media playback failures, slow application startup, slow operating system startup, and network latency. Built-in performance diagnostic tools track the time it takes to perform common tasks, analyze performance degradation, and display results in the performance center so that users can resolve them. Performance issues are also written to the system event log so they can be monitored by the user or a support specialist.

Because of the important role that servers can't replace in a networked environment, IT administrators need to check their performance and system availability to ensure that their servers and workstations are available in real time. .

Generally speaking, performance is a measure of how fast a computer executes an application and performs system tasks. In general, physical disk access speed, memory availability, processor speed, and maximum Network bandwidth can affect the performance of the system.

After the impact of hardware on performance is determined, we need to evaluate the application performance of the application and processing process. A complete analysis report on the impact of the application on the performance can effectively help the IT administrator. We plan the deployment of the enterprise environment based on growth needs. The Windows Performance Diagnostic Console includes a set of tools to help users track the performance of their applications and services, while also allowing you to warn or perform certain actions when performance is reduced to a certain degree through custom settings.

The availability of the system is usually used to measure how long the system will deviate from the correct configuration, generally the application error, the service freeze or restart, the driver failed to load and the worst Operating system crashes can affect system availability. Performance Monitor provides users with a fast, graphical window to show the average stability of the user's system. In addition, the events tracked by this tool can help users determine the cause of the decline in usability. The report does not only include reports. “Failure” (including memory, hard drive, application and operating system failures), and also includes some key events for system configuration (such as new application installation, operating system patch upgrades, drivers, etc.). Users can clearly see a timeline about system changes and availability changes to determine if the system is causing a drop in availability after that operation.
