Viewing Performance Counters

This section presents two methods for viewing the NetShow performance counters: using NetShow Performance Monitoring Settings in the Microsoft NetShow group, and using Performance Monitor in the Windows NT Administrative Tools group. The first method utilizes the Nsperf.pmc file. This file contains a custom set of performance counters that are specific to NetShow.

To view the performance counters using Performance Monitoring Settings (in the Microsoft NetShow group)

• On the Start menu, point to Programs, and click Microsoft NetShow. In the Microsoft NetShow folder, click NetShow Server Performance Counters.

  This displays the Performance Monitor window with the Nsperf.pmc file settings, which include the NetShow Unicast Manager counters, described later in this section.

To view the performance counters using Performance Monitor (in the Administrative Tools group)

1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, and click Administrative Tools. In the Administrative Tools folder, click Performance Monitor.

   The Performance Monitor window is displayed.

2. On the Performance Monitor Edit menu, click Add to Chart.

   The Add to Chart dialog box appears.

3. In the Object list, select NetShow Unicast Manager.
4. In the Counter list, select each NetShow Unicast Manager service performance counter you want to use, and click Add to add each counter to the Performance Monitor chart.
5. After selecting the counters, click Done.
