"i want to know if any one of you log the counter values?"

I log, once a minute, the counters that are exposed through master..sysperfinfo plus @@cpu_busy, and we use this to evaluate how they change over time.

For example, we have a client building to their busiest period of the year and their CPU usage is 3x what it was last year, but for the same number of customers. User changes to data have bloated all sorts of things, and we are now having to optimize the client's data.

We also the use @@cpu_busy, 'Transactions/sec' and 'User Connections' figures to check if, for a given minute interval, the activity is "too hot" and if so the website stops accepting new sessions - so people already in the store can "finish up" more easily.

We also log the elapsed time for our SProcs, and have them recompile if their execution time slows.
