Hello--

Does anyone know how to setup a data collection for (a) specific counter(s)
for a single process?

Here's my scenario: We are testing out a new anti-virus product and want to
see how much CPU and MEM it uses. I have the process names associated with
the AV app, and I know how to select the process from the "Process" counter,
but I don't know how to only count MEM and CPU for a single process.

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, but if you only can tell me XP, I can
translate that.

Thank you!

In Windows XP:

1- Select "Process" for the Performance Object.

2- In the right hand pane select the process that you wish to monitor.

3- In the left hand pane select the counters for the performance
object. You can press and hold the Ctrl key if you wish to add more
than one counter to the object.
