is far better for this sort of stuff.
</div>


<div>
Could you briefly explain why.
</div>


<div>
Tim, I appreciate that for PERFMON but I'm researching the viability of PERFLOG. Why do you suggest that the Ardent product is a better bet? Is it free? &nbsp; &nbsp;
</div>


<div>
Where do you get PERFLOG from ?<br />
I presumed you meant PERFMON.
</div>


<div>
From NT Resource kit -<br />
PerfLog (Performance Data Log Service)
</div>


<div>
I can't find it !<br />
Has it got a different .EXE name on the resource kit ?
</div>


<div>
There are five files in the resource kit:<br />
pdlcnfig.exe<br />
pdh.dll<br />
pdlsvc.exe<br />
perflog.help / perflog.cnt - helpfiles<br />
<br />
Windows NT Workstation Resource kit<br />
Dtd 1996 (Maybe this version is older)<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
I'll have a look into it - cheers !

Can I use Perflog to centrally monitor a number of servers across a WAN?<br />
If so what are the network implications? <br />
Can I start this service automatically?<br />
How do I centralise this data into a database?<br />
Where can I find more info?<br />
