HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\service-name

Description

The Performance subkey contains entries for the performance counter dynamic-link library (DLL) for the service. The performance library uses these values to collect data for the performance counters that monitor the service. These entries are maintained by the system and should not be changed.

Activation Method

To make changes to entries in this subkey effective, restart the Remote Registry Service or restart Windows Server 2003.

Tip

  • If particular performance counters do not appear in your performance monitoring tool, check the Application Log in Event Viewer for events recorded by Perflib. When Perflib detects disabling errors in a counter DLL, it records an event in the log and sets the value of Disable Performance Counters to 1 to disable the counters.
