Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics
The Performance Monitor includes several new performance counters and various tools for tuning and monitoring system performance and resources. It shows the activities of the CPU, disk I/O, network, memory and other resources, in the Resource View. It supports new graph types, the ability to select multiple counters, retrieve counter values from a point on the graph, save graphed counter values to a log file, and the option to have a line graph continuously scroll in the graph window instead of wrap-around on itself. Windows Task Manager also presents more detailed system information and monitoring. A comprehensive System Diagnostics Report can be created using the perfmon /report command.
The Reliability Monitor tracks applications and driver installations, along with the date they were installed on, and by using system reliability statistics from Reliability Analysis Components, presents a graphical view of the variation in system reliability and stability.

Famous quotes containing the word performance:
“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
