We are looking to do some load testing on our Windows 2008 Servers. We would like to collect some statistics (CPU Usage, Memory Usage, etc) on some specific executables. Say, for example an .exe called &quot;thisexecutable.exe&quot; &nbsp;in our deployed software. <br />
<br />
When I go to the &quot;Process&quot; menu item under &quot;available counters&quot; there are a number of services listed (or executables that run as services I guess). There is also an option called &quot;All Instances&quot; . <br />
<br />
Question : <b>Is there a way to target specific executables when they run, or will the &quot;All Instances&quot; option get me statistics when &quot;thisexecutable.exe&quot; runs ?</b><br />
or<br />
Would I need to actually write a performance counter for &quot;thisexecutable.exe&quot; and install it with installutil.exe. <br />
<br />
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. <br />

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
