Hi Guys.

Can someone point me in the right direction, I’m trying to understand Windows 2003 Server Performance counters.

What do i need to look out for with regards to server performance and possible issues.
On the following Performance Object.

SQL Server.(What indicates a Performance issue/ bottlenecks)
Hard Drive.(What indicates a Performance issue/ bottlenecks)
CPU.(What indicates a Performance issue/ bottlenecks)
Memory.(What indicates a Performance issue/bottlenecks)

Any pointer will be appreciated

Just to add.

I have this so far.

% Total Processor Time counter
(If over 80% for 10 min's or longer then there might be a problem)
Memory Object: Pages/Sec
(If over 0 for 10 min's or longer then there might be a problem)
PhysicalDisk Object: Avg. Disk Queue Length
(if over 2 for 10 min's or longer then there might be a problem)
Buffer Manager Object: Buffer Cache Hit Ratio
(This should exceed 90%)

If anyone can add to this list it would be much appreciated.
