Enable resource monitoring
Overview
You can enable resource monitoring to capture system resource data such as processor or memory usage.
You need to instrument servers to enable resource monitoring.
To capture accurate resource monitoring data, verify clocks on all computers are synchronized.
If you do not synchronize the clocks on the workbench and on all of the computers involved in a test, resource counters will be displayed inaccurately (with respect to time) in the reports. There are a number of tools that are available at no cost on the Web to help accomplish synchronization.
