Notification Services Performance Objects
Microsoft SQL Server Notification Services has three types of performance objects: component, application, and instance. These objects contain counters for monitoring performance at different levels of an instance of Notification Services.
- Component-level objects monitor the state of the components on the local server. You cannot use these objects to monitor a single application on a multiple-application instance or to monitor an entire instance if the instance is scaled-out across multiple servers.
- Application-level objects monitor the status of a Notification Services application by querying the application database, and can be used on servers that run the NS$instance_name service.
- Instance-level objects monitor subscriber activity by querying the instance database, and can be used on servers that run the NS$ instance_name service.
Component-Level Objects
Notification Services provides the following component-level performance objects that monitor their components on the local server:

Provides information about one or all distributors on the local server. |

Application-Level Objects
The following application-level objects query the application databases, and can be used on any server that runs a Notification Services engine. However, the counter data reflects only the activity that takes place on the local server.

Instance-Level Objects
The following instance-level object queries the instance databases, and can be used on any server that that runs a Notification Services engine. However, the counter data reflects only the activity that takes place on the local server.
