Performance Logs & Alerts

Default Description:

Performance Logs and Alerts Collects performance data from local or remote computers based on preconfigured schedule parameters, then writes the data to a log or triggers an alert. If this service is stopped, performance information will not be collected. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Additional Information:

This may be a super geek tool, but I feel that the overhead associated with it is not worth the benefit. You decide.

You can look at the data collected by heading to Start > All Programs > Administrative Tools > Performance Monitor.
