Performance Counters

LogRhythm has implemented performance counters within its Windows service components to provide visibility into their performance. This topic includes descriptions for the performance counters and guidance in how to interpret them to evaluate component performance.

Windows performance counters provide parameters within a Microsoft Windows operating system or Windows applications / services that can be monitored in real-time. Typically, the Microsoft Performance Monitor application is used to monitor and chart performance counter data in real-time. The data is also frequently used by third party monitoring systems to gauge the health of computer systems and the applications running on them

Performance Monitoring can be accessed via Administrative Tools or by typing perfmon at the command prompt.
