How do I make a perfmon template?

Question

I have six machines I want to monitor with perfmon. I want to use the same set of counters on all six. Is there a way to set up a template so I can specify these counters one time and then base the other data collector sets off this template? Or do I actually have to set each one up manually?

Answer 1

You can define Data Collector Set on one of the machines and save it as template,(XML file).

Later, on the other machines, create a 'new Data Collector Set' using the template. First option in the wizard is "create from template"

see the guide:Create a Data Collector Set from a Template
