The performance of a computer or other computers on a network can be measured using System Monitor in the following ways:
Data can be obtained in a printable graph, histogram, or report view.
System Monitor functionality can be incorporated in applications that support ActiveX controls. For instance, Web pages, and Microsoft Word or other applications in Microsoft Office.
Create HTML pages from performance views. A browser can display views stored in HTML format.
Create reusable monitoring configurations that can be installed on other computers using Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
Click start and go to run. In the open dialog box type perfmon.msc. You will see the System Monitor tool. You have to add counter to monitor. To add counters, on the Performance window, right click on the right pane, then on the popup menu click add counter.
You can collect and view wide range of data about the usage of hardware resources and the activity of system services on computers you administer with the help of System Monitor.
