Lesson 2: Using Performance Monitor• Why Use a Baseline?• What Are Data Collector Sets?• Demonstration: How to Capture Counter Data with a Data
Collector Set• Demonstration: How to Configure an Alert• Demonstration: How to View Performance Monitor Reports• Monitoring Network Infrastructure Services
Why Use a Baseline?
Establishing a baseline for comparative purposes enables you to:
• Interpret performance trends• Perform capacity planning• Identify bottlenecks
Calculating performance baselines for your server environment allows you to more accurately interpret real-time monitoring information
What Are Data Collector Sets?
Data Collector Sets can contain the following types of data collectors:
• Performance counters• Event trace data• System configuration information
Data Collector Sets enable you to gather performance-related and other system statistics for analysis
Demonstration: How to Capture Counter Data with a Data Collector SetThis demonstration shows how to: • Create a data collector set• Create a disk load on the server• Analyze the resulting data in a report
Demonstration: How to Configure an AlertThis demonstration shows how to: • Create a data collector set with an alert counter• Generate a load on the server to exceed configured
threshold• Examine event log for resulting event
Demonstration: How to View Performance Monitor ReportsThis demonstration shows how to: • View a performance report
Monitoring Network Infrastructure Services
IntranetInternet
DHCP Server
DNS Server

Lesson 3: Monitoring Event Logs• What Is a Custom View?• Demonstration: How to Create a Custom View• What Are Event Subscriptions?• Demonstration: How to Configure an Event Subscription
Demonstration: How to Create a Custom ViewThis demonstration shows how to: • View Server Roles custom views• Create a custom view
What Are Event Subscriptions?
Event Subscriptions allow you to collect event logs from multiple computers and store them locally
Demonstration: How to Configure an Event SubscriptionThis demonstration shows how to: • Configure the source computer• Configure the collector computer• Create and view the subscribed log

Lab Scenario
Having recently deployed some new servers, it is important to establish a performance baseline with a typical load for these new servers. You are tasked with undertaking this project. In addition, to make the process of performance monitoring easier, you decide to implement a subscribed log for the new servers so that you can efficiently determine server health.
Lab Review• During the lab, you collected data in a data collector set.
What is the advantage of collecting data in this way?
