    Study Notes

    SysKit Monitor

    • SysKit Monitor is a tool for real-time monitoring of application and hardware performance.
    • It allows customization of monitored data, setting thresholds, generating reports, and viewing performance history.
    • Performance Counters are used to collect numeric data from computers. These can be built into the OS or specific applications.
    • Performance counters track processor, memory, processes, disk, and cache, plus external components like databases, applications, and printers.
    • A Template Wizard helps to customize performance counter collection.
    • Predefined templates are available for common server roles (SQL, IIS, SharePoint).
    • The default interval for collecting performance counter values is 60 seconds.
    • Templates can be created for Windows Services and Performance Counters, allowing for monitoring multiple components.
    • Monitoring templates can be assigned to individual computers or computer groups.
    • Upon assigning, SysKit Monitor automatically discovers and binds available performance counters.

    Monitoring Template Wizard

    • The Template Wizard allows for creating templates to monitor various aspects of performance.
    • Each template should be tailored to a specific role (like SharePoint, SQL, IIS).
    • Templates can be modified, duplicated, or deleted as needed.
    • Templates can be assigned to computers or computer groups.
    • Import/Export features allow for sharing and managing templates.
    • When used with SQL servers having multiple named instances, separate templates are needed for accurate monitoring per instance. New templates need to be created specifying the specific performance counters for each instance

    General Performance Monitoring

    • Monitoring computer system health is critical.
    • Microsoft integrated performance monitoring into early Windows versions.
    • Custom performance counters can now be monitored through SysKit Monitor using a Template Wizard.
