Using Performance Logs and Alerts

You can use the Performance Logs and Alerts to view many different TCP/IP-related counters. Because the Performance Logs and Alerts access statistics that are gathered by the SNMP service, the SNMP service must be installed on Windows-based computers where TCP/IP statistics are to be monitored. Counters for Performance Logs and Alerts are available for network adapters, IP, ICMP, UDP, and TCP.

With Performance Logs and Alerts, you can monitor counters from various systems from a single management window. You can also set alert levels for the counters being monitored.
