Storing Server-Monitoring Data

Create a Monitor writer and populate it with the relevant performance factors.
Note: You can store server-monitoring data from a Monitor writer but not from a Monitor chart.
  1. In Performance Explorer, on the Real-Time Monitoring tab, in the New group, click Monitor Writer. The file name appears in the File section of the Monitor information area in the report dialog box. The monitor data is stored in a time series data (.tsd) file.
  2. To view the data in a chart, click Monitor Chart in the New group on the Real-Time Monitoring tab. A new Monitor chart appears.
  3. Drag the appropriate performance factors from the writer onto the chart. The data appears in graphical form.
