Performance Monitoring

The Windows Performance Monitor (PerfMon) tool has been integrated into IxServer to help identify system-level and application-level performance issues. PerfMon is a powerful diagnostic tool that monitors the state of IxServer and creates log files that you can access and submit to Keysight Technical Support, if needed.

Some of the features of the Performance Monitor are the following:

Note: Windows Performance Monitor is a separate system monitoring application that is integrated into IxServer but is not accessible through the Tools menu.

Logman

If you want to check which particular counters are available in the currently installed IxOS release, type the following command from an Administrator prompt while IxServer is running:

logman query IxServerPerfmon

Windows Disk Cleanup

PerfMon automatically archives the .blg files to a compressed .cab file at set intervals. Windows Disk Cleanup automatically cleans up PerfMon files and the archives after 60 days.

In a complex environment with many Windows machines, we recommend you to use a Group Policy to set up Disk Cleanup consistently across the board. See Automatic Disk Cleanup with Group Policy and SCCM for more information.
