Web Service Object

The NNTP Server performance object monitors posting, authentication, and connection activity on an NNTP server. The Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) service is an optional component of Internet Information Services.

NNTP counters are started for each virtual server instance and are reset to zero when the virtual server is started. A single NNTP service can have many virtual servers (also called sites).

In addition to monitoring these counters, it is recommended that you also monitor the system counters PhysicalDisk\Disk Reads/sec, PhysicalDisk\Disk Writes/sec, PhysicalDisk\Disk Transfers/sec and Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time.
