Hi

I read a few articles on performance monitoring and they all seem to suggest that one should avoid running PerfMon on the machine that you want to monitor because it too will use some resources and therefore the perfmon result will be questionable.

1:)
Is the any way that I can tell the amount of resources that are allocated to it? I looked in task manager but it didn't give me enough info.

2:)
If I have scheduled perfmon run every 15 minutes on about 8 counters, will it have a negative impact on some of my resources? I've set it up iin such a way that the results are stored in a db on a different server

3:)
Can one schedule perfmon to run only at certain times?
I was thinking of setting up a job that will execute it from 6:00 and another one that will stop it at 19:00?? Is this the way to go
Example: between 6:00 and 19:00

I don't have much Idea about that.
But I can't think perfmon will take more resources.

Not yet i met the performance problem thorugh permon. because i am not scheduled them
