There are truckloads of counters available in perfmon for ASP.NET. What are the best (I am thinking of choosing 5-10) that will be the best to monitor in our test environment so that we can feed back to developers. I am thinking of things like request time, request queue length, active sessions etc. ...
I'm currently doing some GUI testing on a ASP.net 2.0 application. The RDBMS is SQL Server 2005. The host is Win Server 2003 / IIS 6.0. I do not have the source code of the application because it was programmed by an external company who's not releasing the code. I've noticed that the application performs well when I restart IIS but a...
What limits exist on the amount of data one can publish to a custom Windows performance counter category? I understand there is no hard limit on the number of counters or the number of instances, but rather there is a memory limit for the entire category. What is that limit? Is there a limit on the total number or size of all performan...
How do I read from the performance counter "NumberOfActiveConnections" of the category ".NET Data Provider for SqlServer" from a unit test in MS Test? I'm trying the following but it seems like I get the instance name wrong. The MSDN documentation claims this is a correct way of getting the instance name of a WinForms app but this won't...
I believe that I have successfully impersonated my own user account while running an ASP.NET page on my local machine. Using the method described here, I have successfully changed the WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name from ASPNET to my domain account. I can successfully write to a file on the file system that ONLY my account has perm...
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a ".net integrated" solution for exact time measurement (like the execution time of a function)? At the moment I'm using the PerformanceCounters from Kernel32. [DllImport("Kernel32.dll")] private static extern bool QueryPerformanceCounter( out long lpPerformanceCount); [DllImport("Ker...

We have developed a .NET web application that uses SQL Server as a backend. Now we would like to provide a monitoring dashboard app for the tech support team. The idea is that this monitoring app will show a global picture of the "health" of the web servers hosting the application and the database servers holding the data. This "health" ...

hi I am looking at the performance of OpenMP program, specifically cache and memory performance. I have found guidelines while back ago how to analyze performance with Vtune that mentioned which counters to watch out for. However now cannot seem to find the manual.

Hi folks, I'm trying to add some performance counters to my asp.net website. Now, I know how to increment/decrement some custom counter I make .. but my problem is that if I get my ASP.NET website to create these counters, if they do not exist (eg. i do this check in the global.asax App start method) then add/create them. But, it doesn...
I think this is more of a perfmon glitch, actually. Here's what's going on: 1. I create a counter category, and add some counters to it. They work fine. 2. I decide that I need some extra counters in that category. 3. I delete that counter category, and re-create it with new counters added. At this point, all old counters are working, b...

I wanted to expose two performance counters - The number of items on the queue The number of items removed from the queue per second The first one works fine, the second one always shows as 0 in PerfMon.exe, despite the RawValue appearin...
I've been asked how to find out how much memory and CPU my program is using, and I've been referred to Performance Counters. However, when I look at the documentation it starts off by telling me about providing consumer data by creating a manifest for my application, and my eyes glaze over. It's nice that such a general-purpose tool is...

Hi All, I have been looking for a solution to allow us to monitor our web servers performance counters over an asp.net website.

Hi folks, In a number of our web applications, we make calls to 3rd part API's like Twitter, etc. Nothing new there. What we would like to do is to grab some statistics about our website usage -> how many calls we are making every hour and day to our various free and paid 3rd party API's. I'm not sure how we can do this. Now, I've us...
