Windows Vista Performance Monitor

Windows Vista Performance Monitor

Performance Monitor displays built in Windows performance counters, either in real time or as historical data. You can add performance counters to Performance Monitor by dragging them from any Data Collector Set or Data Collector Set template and dropping them on the Performance Monitor icon.

You can also create custom Data Collector Sets from a collection of counters already added to Performance Monitor.

Performance Monitor features multiple graph views to allow you to visually review performance log data, and custom views created in Performance Monitor can be exported as Data Collector Sets for use with performance and logging features.

Windows Vista uses the built in Reliability Analysis Component (RAC) to calculate a reliability index which provides an indication of your overall system stability over time.

RAC also keeps track of any important changes to the system that are likely to have an impact on stability, such as Windows updates, application installations, and driver installations.
