Using the Performance Monitor in background RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    in order to run a counter trace with the Performance Monitor it is enough to create a new user defined data collector set and schedule it, isn't it (for Windows Server 2008 r2 or superior)?

    Thanks

  • Hello ,

    Yes you can do provided you have proper permissions in the server to do so.

    Below articles can be used as a step-by-step guide:

    But you should be careful with its schedule and monitor its growth to avoid any performance or space issues.
