The 32-bit Windows Reliability and Performance Monitor (perfmon) is a tool to develop server benchmarks, which can help you manage your server performance.
Start the Windows Performance Monitor.
In the Add Counters list, browse or scroll down to the ePolicy Orchestrator Server counters selection, then click + to expand the list of counters.
To view the output as a report, click the Change Graph Type icon and select Report from the list.
For example, the Open ePO Agent Connections counter tells you how many agents are communicating with the ePO - On-prem server simultaneously. A healthy ePO - On-prem server keeps this number fairly low, usually under 20. For a ePO - On-prem server that is struggling, this number is over 200 (the maximum is 250) and stays high, and rarely drops below 20.
Click Add to move the selected counter into the Added counters list, then click OK.
To determine the stress on your ePO - On-prem server and how quickly it can process events from all your agents, add the following counters, then click OK.
Completed Agent Requests/sec
Currently Running Event Parser Threads
Data Channel saturation
Data channel threads
Event Queue Length
Max Event Parser Threads
Open ePO Agent Connections
Processor Events/sec
Static event queue length
The tests listed here are just a few that you can perform with the ePO - On-prem server using the Windows Performance Monitor. For additional Windows Performance Monitor information, see these Microsoft websites:
