Performance monitor stops responding while it enumerates Web service counters (332156)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Services
- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 6.0
This article was previously published under Q332156 SYMPTOMSWhen you add Web service counters for Internet Information
Services (IIS) 6.0 to a Performance Monitor log, either by right-clicking the
System Monitor details pane and clicking Add Counters or by
clicking the plus sign (+) on the tool bar, Performance Monitor may take a long
time to enumerate the list of available instances on the server. If you are
hosting a very large number of Web sites, Performance Monitor may appear to
stop responding (hang).WORKAROUNDTo work around this behavior, use one of the following
methods:
- Collect all counters for each performance object. You can
add all counters for the whole Web service or other performance object and only
display those that you need.
- Create a counter log from the command line. You can create
a counter log that contains the counters and instances that you need by using
two command line utilities that are included in all versions of Microsoft
Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Server 2003:
- Typeperf.exe can be used to display all the counters
that are currently available on a particular local or remote
computer.
- Logman.exe can be used to create, start, stop, and
schedule performance counter trace logs and collections on local and remote
systems.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.REFERENCESFor more information about the Typeperf and Logman
utilities, see the product documentation for Windows Server 2003. This
documentation can also be viewed on the World Wide Web. For more
information about Typeperf.exe, visit the following Microsoft Web site: For more information about Logman.exe, visit the following
