Performance Monitoring Counters
System Monitor uses Performance Logs and Alerts to collect data called performance counters. A performance counter is a data item associated with a performance object. For each counter you select, System Monitor presents a value corresponding to a particular aspect of the performance defined for the performance object.
Performance counters allow you to monitor specific aspects of work performed on your site by a system or service. System Monitor groups counters by object type. A unique set of counters exists for Commerce Server processes, memory, cache, hard disk, and other object types that produce statistical information. For more information about Performance Logs and Alerts, see Windows 2000 Server Help.
