Hi,

The PAL tool  along with poweshell scritps can be used to create a Microsoft Performance Monitor (perfmon) template file from PAL threshold files and can analyze the perfmon log after its collection period. In this example, we will create, gather, and analyze a BizTalk performance monitor log file.

You can have a look at below MSDN blogs

You can also take a look at AIMS (www.aimsinnovation.com) which is a non-intrusive performance monitoring tool for BizTalk. It can trace every single message and dynamically map messaging patterns without the use of BAM or tracking. So every single component (ports & orchs) are monitored for message count, latency and volume, and you can then correlate these performance data towards server and host information.

AIMS also provide a free version which covers up to two BizTalk servers, you can sign up for instant access here:http://www.aimsinnovation.com/aims-free
