PerfmonPro is a flexible and powerful capacity planning and resource monitoring tool for Microsoft Windows computers. PerfmonPro is able to monitor hundreds of different types of performance counters on Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Microsoft server products such as Exchange Server, SQL Server, BizTalk Server, etc.

Keeping your Microsoft Windows computer at the optimum level of performance is not an easy task. The performance of your computers degrades over time as more demands are placed on them. The common misconception that people have is that processor speed, amount of physical memory, and disk space are all there is to indicate the performance of a computer.

In reality, the performance of a computer is related to a vast number of different factors and it is a daunting task to keep track of how these factors affect the performance of the computers. Wouldn't it be nice to have the hard work done for you and you just need to be notified when your computer performance is starting to degrade. PerfmonPro is the tool that does that hard work for you. With PerfmonPro, you can monitor hundreds of different performance counters on a computer and be notified if any one of the performance counters value shows symptoms of performance degradation. Don't let your computer hit the speed hump again, see the road ahead.

Proactive capacity planning and resource monitoring on Microsoft Windows computers has never been so easy and flexible. Whether you use your computer for leisure or for work, you no doubt have experienced the frustrating moments when your computer or applications is not responding fast enough. These moments often come at the most inconvenient time. Now, with PerfmonPro, you can see these moments approaching in your horizon and take preventive actions to avoid them.

For enterprise that has a large number of computers distributed across many different locations, PerfmonPro gives enterprise system administrators the ability to know the precise moments of which computers are experiencing performance degradation. With such knowledge, enterprise system administrators can proactively address performance degradation on mission-critical servers before the problems manifest and disrupt critical IT services.

PerfmonPro runs natively on all 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. Unlike typical 32-bit applications running inside a 32-bit Windows emulator on a 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating system, the 64-bit version of PerfmonPro runs natively on 64-bit Windows and is able to take full advantage of the raw processing power that 64-bit Microsoft Windows has to offer.

The 32-bit version of PerfmonPro supports all 32-bit editions of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000.

The 64-bit version of PerfmonPro supports all 64-bit editions of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

PerfmonPro runs as a Windows service. It monitors resource usage in the background and does not interferes with the users or applications. Because PerfmonPro runs as a service, the monitoring persists across system reboots and is the ideal resource monitoring tool for non-stop monitoring of mission-critical servers and applications.

PerfmonPro supports a wide range of error notification methods, including logging errors to log file, Windows Eventlog and system tray. In addition, PerfmonPro can send error notification to email addresses and SNMP Network Management System. PerfmonPro can send error notification as SNMP traps in SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and SNMPv3. SNMPv3 is the latest and most secure protocol, it supports authentication, privacy and access control.

In addition to monitoring resource usage on local computer, PerfmonPro can also monitor resource usage on remote computers. The ability to monitor resource usages on remote computers makes PerfmonPro ideal for large scale monitoring in an enterprise environment. The amount of administration and configuration overhead is greatly reduced when monitoring is controlled from a central server.

PerfmonPro is highly configurable to meet the demands of even the most complex monitoring requirement. Administrators can easily set different monitoring criteria for different period of time. For example, an administrator can configure PerfmonPro to monitor a server resource differently on weekdays than on weekends. Furthermore, an administrator can also configure PerfmonPro to send error notifications to different destinations during office hours and after office hours. Such flexibility encourages the division of labour in distribution IT environment where different IT teams work together to ensure the smooth running of mission-critical services.

PerfmonPro directly plugs into the Windows performance counters as they become available on the computers. For example, if Microsoft SQL Server has just been installed on the computer, the Microsoft SQL Server performance counters can be immediately monitored by PerfmonPro, no reboot or restart is required. Such dynamic detection of newly added performance counters makes PerfmonPro ideal for use in an 24x7 environment.
