IntroductionTwo built-in tools are available for systems administrators to perform detailed diagnostic analyses: * Performance monitor
* Ressource monitorThese tools are part of the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-in named «Performance Monitor». The name of this snap-in has unfortunately changed. It used to be called «Reliability and Performance Monitor» (RPM), which better describes its purpose. Starting with Windows 7 this tool has been renamed «Performance Monitor» (PM). In this article I’ll stick with the RPM name! Stop creating your own programs that run in the background in order to monitor and trigger other utilities to perform diagnose, performance and intrusion analyze. Start using the extended RPM infrastructure that already makes these watch-dogs mechanisms available.
Using RPM you can define complex criteria that can trigger any kind of action you define.Programmatic interface to RPMPerformance Logs und Alerts (PLA) is a new interface to programmatically access the RPM. PLA is a collection of DCOM objects. As a programmatic interface to RPM, PLA exist since Windows Vista. PLA has been extended in Windows 7 and 2008. Using PLA you can do things that are not even possible with RPM.
