Hi Matt, As Darrell pointed out, short-lived processes are problematic to monitor as it's difficult to get a continuous aggregate read for a particular type of process.
If you're just looking for more general statistics on processor, IO, storage, RAM, etc. it works quite well to log it to a SQL Server for trending. We use the perfcheck.dll that came with either W2K Resource Kit or Support Tools and call it from a SQL job to loop through defined counters from one table every few minutes and store the sampled value in another. Currently we just clear it out when it gets too big, but have been considering aggregating to report tables for daily, weekly, and/or monthly usage trends. You can go hog wild with these things, but we've found a few simple counters are enough and give us the necessary info to project hardware needs.

Does anyone have a good config/setup that they want to share which is most effective at tracking usage primarily related to an IMail/Declude/Sniffer setup? Should I be storing this data in SQL Server? Etc.
