Overview of Task Manager

Task Manager helps you to identify and resolve performance-related issues


Overview of Performance Monitor (1 of 2)

Performance Monitor enables you to observe current performance statistics or to study historical data that
Data Collector Sets have gathered
Overview of Performance Monitor (2 of 2)

Primary processor counters: Primary disk counters:


• Processor > % Processor Time • Physical Disk > % Disk Time
• System > Processor Queue • Physical Disk > Avg. Disk Queue
Length Length

Primary network counters:


• Network Interface > Output Primary memory counter:
Queue Length
• The Memory > Pages/sec
• Network Interface > Bytes
Total/sec
Overview of Resource Monitor

Resource Monitor provides an in-depth understanding at the real-time performance of your server
Overview of Reliability Monitor

Reliability Monitor monitors hardware and software issues that occur during the selected time interval and
assigns a number called the stability index that indicates the server’s reliability
Overview of Event Viewer

Event Viewer provides categorized lists of essential Windows log events and log groupings for individual
installed applications and specific Windows component categories
Monitor a server with Server Manager
Monitor a server with Windows Admin Center
Use Windows Sysinternals tools to monitor servers
Lesson 2: Using
Performance Monitor
Lesson 2 overview

 Overview of baselines, trends, and capacity planning


 What are data collector sets?
 Demonstration: Capture counter data with a data collector set
 Demonstration: Configure an alert
 Demonstration: View reports in Performance Monitor
 Monitor network infrastructure services
 Considerations for monitoring virtual machines
 Performance monitoring with Windows Admin Center
Overview of baselines, trends, and capacity planning

By calculating performance baselines for your server environment, you can more accurately interpret real-
time monitoring information
By establishing a baseline, you can:
 Interpret performance trends
 Perform capacity planning
 Identify bottlenecks
 Analyze performance trends to predict when existing capacity is likely to be exhausted
 Plan the capacity for the key hardware components such as processor, disk, memory, and network
What are data collector sets?

Data collector sets enable you to gather performance-related and other system statistics for analysis
Data collector sets can contain the following types of data collectors:
 Performance counters
 Event trace data
 System configuration information
Monitor network infrastructure services

 Monitoring is essential for:


o Optimizing network infrastructure server performance
o Troubleshooting servers

 Common services to monitor:


o DNS

o DHCP
Considerations for monitoring virtual machines

Considerations for monitoring virtual machines:


 Virtual machines must be assigned sufficient resources for their workload
 If multiple virtual machines run on a host, ensure the host has enough resources
 Resources are shared, so performance of one virtual machine can affect the performance of others
 You must remember to monitor the resource utilization on the host as well as the guests
Performance monitoring with Windows Admin Center
Lesson 3: Monitoring
event logs for troubleshooting
Lesson 3 overview

 Use Server Manager to review event logs


 What is a custom view?
 Demonstration: Create a custom view
 What are event log subscriptions?
 Demonstration: Configure an event subscription
Use Server Manager to review event logs

Server Manager provides a centralized location for event logs from remote servers
Event logging
 Enabled by default
 Categorized by technology: AD DS, DNS, Remote Access

Customized views
 Create queries for specific types of events that need to be displayed
 Configure event data that needs to be displayed
What is a custom view?

Custom views allow you to query and sort just the events that you want to analyze
What are event log subscriptions?

Event log subscriptions allow you to collect event logs from multiple servers, and then store them locally
