Abstract:

System performance monitoring and analysis is an effective means to discover bottlenecks running in the system and optimize system performance. Traditional monitoring tools are lack of a satisfactory monitoring system,
not detailed and deep enough in data presentation, having a great impact on the performance of the system itself. This paper designs and implements a visual monitoring system based on ETW mechanism, the Perfornitor, which can solve the
above problems preferably. The paper analyzes two specific performance monitoring examples using the Perfornitor. The results show that the technology can provide effective helps for system analysts to quickly identify and resolve system
performance issues.
