The Beta 2 release of the Microsoft Windows VistaT operating system includes Windows Performance Diagnostic Console, a snap-in for Microsoft Management Console (MMC) that combines the functionality of previous stand-alone tools including Performance Logs and Alerts, Server Performance Advisor, Performance Monitor, and System Monitor. It provides a graphical interface for the customization of Data Collector Sets and Event Trace Sessions.
It also includes Reliability Monitor, a snap-in for MMC that tracks changes to the system and compares them to changes in system stability, providing a graphical view of the relationship.
Even though the IT professional must manage the behavior of entire deployments, the individual user is most directly affected by the performance and reliability characteristics of the computer on their desktop. In most cases, the IT professional will have to diagnose and remedy problems on each user's computer using the performance and reliability tools provided by the client operating system.
In general terms, performance is the measure of how quickly a computer completes application and system tasks. Overall system performance might be limited by the access speed of the physical hard disks, the amount of memory available to all running processes, the top speed of the processor, or the maximum throughput of the network interfaces.
After hardware performance limitations are identified, individual applications and processes can be monitored to assess how much of the available resources they use. A comprehensive analysis of performance regarding both application impact and overall capacity helps IT professionals plan for deployment and grow with increasing demands.
Windows Performance Diagnostic Console includes a suite of tools that enable you to track the performance impact of applications and services, and to generate alerts or take action when user-defined thresholds for optimum performance are exceeded.
The reliability of a system is the measure of how often it deviates from configured, expected behavior. Reductions in reliability might be the result of applications crashing, services freezing and restarting, drivers failing to initialize, or in the worst case, operating system failures.
The Reliability Monitor MMC snap-in provides you with a quick, visual view of the average stability of your system. In addition, it tracks events that will help you identify what causes reductions in reliability. By recording not only failures, including memory, hard disk, driver, application, and operating system failures, but also key events regarding the configuration of your system, including the installation of new applications, operating system patches, and drivers, you can see a timeline of changes in both the system and reliability and pinpoint how to get your system back to optimal reliability when it does not behave as expected.
Key new features for monitoring Performance and Reliability in Windows Vista include:
Resource View, which enables IT Professionals to monitor the usage of CPU, Disk, Network and Memory resources in real time, and to identify which processes use which resources.
The Reliability Monitor report, which tracks changes to the system (including application installation, operating system updates, and driver updates) against an overall stability index that recognizes operating system crashes, application crashes, driver failures, and hardware failures as reductions in reliability.
The Data Collector Set, which groups data collectors into reusable elements for use with different performance monitoring scenarios.
Unified property configuration for all data collection, including scheduling.
Performance Logs and Alerts features, including scheduling of log collection, with improvements to security and reusability of configurations.
Server Performance Advisor features including diagnosis reports.
The ability to create logs using wizards and templates.
This guide targets the following audiences:
IT planners and analysts who are evaluating the product
Enterprise IT planners and designers
Early adopters
The most significant advantage of Windows Performance Diagnostic Console over previous individual tools like System Monitor, Performance Logging and Alerts, and Server Performance Advisor is that it combines the functionality of those tools in a single interface with common methods for defining the data to be collected. The Data Collector Set makes a group of counters portable.
Key scenarios for monitoring performance and reliability
Scenario 1: Monitor general system activity using Resource View
Scenario 2: Monitor specific system activity using Performance Monitor
Scenario 3: Create a Data Collector Set from Performance Monitor
Scenario 4: Create logs from a Data Collector Set
Scenario 5: View and interpret logs in Performance Monitor
Scenario 6: View system stability with Reliability Monitor
This guide discusses six scenarios for using the Windows Performance Diagnostic Console and Reliability Monitor snap-ins for MMC. Completing the scenarios will help you understand how the new tools interoperate, and how they can improve your understanding of your system's operations.
The home page of Windows Performance Diagnostic Console is the Resource View screen. When you run the console as a user with administrator credentials, you can monitor the usage and performance of CPU, Disk, Network and Memory in real time. More detail, including information about which processes are using which resources, is available by expanding the four resources.

Observe
counter data in Performance Monitor
|
The default display for Performance Monitor is the Line graph. In this display, two minutes of data appear in a rolling format from left to right, labeled along the X axis. This allows you to observe changes in each counter's activity compared with previous behavior over a short period of time. To see details for a particular counter in the Line graph, hover the mouse pointer over the counter line in the graph. Change the display for the current set of data collectors using the drop down menu in the toolbar. The Histogram bar displays information in real time, allowing you to observe changes in each counter's activity. The Report display shows current values for each selected counter in text format. Below the display, each counter is listed in a legend with the color of the graph line, its Scale, the Counter, the Instance (in this example, all instances are selected), the Parent (not applicable when all instances are selected), the Object, and the Computer. The check box in each row can be selected or cleared to toggle whether the counter appears in the current display without removing the counter from the list. Selecting a row in the legend will display specific information about the counter in the area above the legend. While a row is selected in the legend, click the Highlight button on the toolbar to highlight that counter in the graph. To return to normal display, click the Highlight button again. To change the properties of how the counter is displayed, right click the row in the legend and select Properties from the context menu. The Performance Monitor Properties page will open in the Data tab. Use the drop-down menus to choose your preferences. To freeze the display in order to examine current activity, click the Stop button in the toolbar. To resume observation from the point at which the display was stopped, click the Play button in the toolbar. To move through the data in collection time increments, click the Forward button in the toolbar. Freezing the display in the Line graph will change the amount of time included in the X axis when observation is resumed. |
Note
When finished with this task, do not close the console. The data collectors in the Performance Monitor view will be used in the next scenario.
Real-time viewing of data collectors is just one way to use Performance Monitor. Once you have created a combination of data collectors that show you useful information about your system in real time, you can save them as a Data Collector Set-the building block of performance monitoring and reporting in Windows Performance Diagnostic Console. It organizes multiple data collection points into a single component that can be used to review or log performance.
In this task you will create a Data Collector Set from counters selected in the real-time Performance Monitor view.
To complete this task, ensure that you meet the following requirements:
Windows Vista Beta 2 is installed.
You are logged on with administrative credentials.
The requirement for administrative credentials is related to a known issue in Windows Vista Beta 2. See the 'Known Issues' section for more information.
Windows Performance Diagnostic Console is running.
At least one data collector selected for display in Performance Monitor.
Some data collectors display information from the Windows Kernel Trace provider session. In order to use this provider, you must be logged on as the local administrator, or have started Windows Performance Diagnostic Console with elevated privileges.
Create
a Data Collector Set from the Performance Monitor
|
1. Begin with the display of counters from the previous procedure. If you no longer have these settings, start Performance Monitor and add counters to create a custom view you want to save as a Data Collector Set. 2. In the console, expand the scope tree, right-click Performance Monitor, point to New, and click Data Collector Set. The Create New Data Collector Set wizard starts. The Data Collector Set created will contain all of the information selected in the current Performance Monitor view. 3. Enter a name for your Data Collector Set and click Next. 4. The Root Directory will contain data collected by the Data Collector Set. Change this setting if you want to store your Data Collector Set data in a different location than the default. Click Next to define a user for the Data Collector Set to run as, or click Finish to save the current settings and exit. 5. After clicking Next, you can configure the Data Collector Set to run as a specific user. Click the Change. button to enter the user name and password for a different user than the default listed. The Data Collector Set must run as a user with administrative credentials. 6. Click Finish to return to the console. To view the properties of the Data Collector Set or to make additional changes, click the Open properties for this data collector set box. To start the Data Collector Set immediately (and begin saving data to the location specified in Step 4), click the Start this data collector set now box. |
Once you have chosen data collectors that provide you with meaningful information about your system's performance, you can store the data as logs for later review.
Note
Log files created from Data Collector Sets in Windows Vista Beta 2 are not backward-compatible with earlier versions of Windows. However, logs created in earlier versions of Windows can be viewed in Windows Vista Beta 2.
To complete this task, ensure that you meet the following requirements:
Windows Vista Beta 2 is installed.
You are logged on with administrative credentials.
The requirement for administrative credentials is related to a known issue in Windows Vista Beta 2. See the 'Known Issues' section for more information.

At least one Data Collector Set has been created and saved (you can use the Data Collector Set you created in Scenario 3)
By default, a Data Collector Set generates a log file. You can configure the storage options for each Data Collector Set to include data about the log in the file name, choose to overwrite or append data, and limit the file size of individual logs.
Configure
properties of the Data Collector Set for logging
|
1. In Windows Performance Diagnostic Console, expand the scope tree and highlight Data Collector Sets. 2. In the list in the snap-in window, right-click the name of the Data Collector Set you want to configure for logging and select Properties from the context menu. 3. On the General tab you can add a description or keywords for this Data Collector Set. 4. On the Directory tab, the Root directory is the base directory in which all log files for this Data Collector Set will be stored. You can use the Subdirectory option to define a subdirectory for different log file storage. Click the arrow to the right of Subdirectory name format to customize the directory name according to the date, time, and serial number of the log file. Any changes you make to the directory configuration will be displayed in Example directory at the bottom of the property page. 5. On the Schedule tab, click Add to create a new schedule. The Active Range defines when collection begins and, if the Expiration date box is selected, defines when collection will stop. The Launch options define when a new log is created. You can configure a start time and choose which days of the week the collection restarts. 6. On the Stop Condition tab, define which criteria (if any) will be used to halt collection of the Data Collector Set. Select the first Overall duration box and define quantity and units to set a limit on how long data will be collected. Clear the Overall duration check box to collect data indefinitely. In the Limits section, select the check box to restart the Data Collector Set when a limit is reached if you want logs segmented. Clear the check box to stop collection without restarting when one of the limits is reached. Define how to segment logs or stop collection based on limits by setting values and selecting the appropriate check boxes for Duration and/or Maximum size. If you defined an expiration date in the Schedule tab that falls after a duration setting in the Stop Condition tab, the stop condition will take precedence. |
You can use Performance Monitor to examine previously collected logs based on Data Collector Sets. All of the display options included in real-time monitoring with Performance Monitor are available for log viewing.
In this task you will learn how to load log data in Performance Monitor and navigate the display.
