Performance Monitor (known as System Monitor in Windows 9x, Windows 2000, and Windows XP) is a system monitoring program introduced in Windows NT 3.1. It monitors various activities on a computer such as CPU or memory usage. This type of application may be used to determine the cause of problems on a local or remote computer by measuring performance of hardware, software services, and applications. The program can define thresholds for alerts and automatic actions, generate reports, and view past performance data.In Windows 9x, System Monitor is not installed automatically during Windows setup, but can be installed manually using the Add/Remove Programs applet, located in the Control Panel. It has few performance measurement criteria (called "counters") available and offers little customization. In contrast, the Windows NT Performance Monitor is available out of the box and has over 350 available counters. Performance Monitor can display information as a graph, bar chart, or list of numeric values, and can update information using a range of time intervals. The categories of information that can be monitored depend on which networking services are installed, but always include file system, kernel, and memory manager. Other possible categories include Microsoft Network Client, Microsoft Network Server, and protocol categories.
In Windows 2000, the System Monitor of Windows 9x and the Performance Monitor of Windows NT 4 and earlier, as well as another program called Network Monitor, were merged into a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) plug-in called Performance, which consisted of two parts: "System Monitor" and "Performance Logs
