Monitoring and Tuning Your Server
Monitoring and Tuning Your Server |
|
When you are monitoring a server remotely, the Internet Information Services Global, Active Server Pages, Web Service, FTP Service, and SMTP Service performance objects and counters appear in PerfMon only when the related IIS 5.0 service is running on the computer being monitored. If you do not see these objects in the Add to Chart dialog box, close PerfMon on your computer, start the IIS 5.0 service on the computer being monitored, and then start PerfMon again.
If the objects and counters still do not appear in the Add to Chart dialog box, or if they appear intermittently, make certain that no one else is using PerfMon to monitor the remote computer. All remote users must restart PerfMon after the IIS 5.0 service is started, or none of them will see the IIS 5.0 counters. Also, check the Event Viewer application event log for errors. Errors in the service or in loading the counters can also prevent PerfMon from displaying the counters. (Errors are logged on the main machine, not on the remote machine.)
