  2. In the navigation pane, expand Monitoring Tools, and then choose Performance Monitor.

  3. In the console pane toolbar, choose the View Log Data button.

    The Performance Monitor Properties page opens at the Source tab.

  4. In the Data Source section, select Log files, and then choose the Add button.

  5. Browse to the log file that you want to view, and then choose the Open button.

  6. Choose the OK button.
