SMS: Miperf.bat - Add MIF File Counters to Performance Monitor (189188)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q189188 SUMMARY
Miperf.bat, a utility that is available in the Microsoft BackOffice
Resource Kit, adds a new set of counters to Performance Monitor. These
counters monitor the number of MIF files being processed by the Dataloader.
The name of the new Performance Monitor object is SMS_MIFS. For a
definition of the counters, see the Explain text in Performance Monitor.
MIPERF must be run on the computer that is running the Systems Management
Server site services.
MORE INFORMATIONUsage Notes
The New MIFs counter can only be displayed by using the Performance Monitor
in Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation, version 4.0 or later. Total
MIFs counter works with any Performance Monitor.
The Total MIFs value is stored once per server, which means that when you
first open a counter for Total MIFs, it starts at 0 and counts up. If you
start a second instance of Performance Monitor, it starts with the number
that was last shown in the first instance of Performance Monitor. If you
close all instances of Performance Monitor and then start the Total MIFs
counter, it starts at 0 again.
The counters work by reading the log file. If you turn off tracing for the
Dataloader, the counters no longer work.
Some MIF files (such as User Group MIF files) contain multiple MIF files
per file; that is, if you have 100 user groups, the Dataloader reports 100
machines processed while it processes this MIF file. The counter then shows
this as 100 MIF files processed.
Despite these limitations, this counter presents a reasonable view of the
performance of the Dataloader if it is used over a several day period.
Removing MIPERF
To remove this software, run the following command:
unlodctr SMS_Mifs
Unlodctr is provided with Windows NT Server.
NOTE: Do not simply delete the registry keys. Doing so may cause you to
lose other Performance Monitor counters.
Runs on Alpha, MIPS, and x86.
Files Required for MIPERF
The following files are required to install the SMS_MIFS counter, but can
safely be removed after installation:
