Monitoring Performance
In order to answer questions about Team Foundation Server performance, you must establish a baseline of the performance of your deployment. Performance monitoring requires observing a specific set of performance counters over time. Team Foundation Server provides performance counters that allow you to monitor server performance and activity. For more information about how to use the information available through performance counters, see Evaluating Team Foundation Server Performance. The following table describes the available Team Foundation performance monitors.
