make sure you have disk perfomance counters turned on. diskperf -y
There's a small performance hit having them turned on (I heard <2% cpu)

I should mention that this is a short-term project so I have a mandate to
spend as little money as possible. OpenView, PerfMan and other enterprise
monitoring utilities are therefore out.

Subject: perfmon to log
Is there a way to write the perfmon data to a text file periodically (every
fifteen minutes for two weeks, ideally), specifically the Logical Disk
data--Disk writes/sec, disk write bytes/sec?
I've tried using perfmon's native log format but when I choose Data From
that log file, I see the Logical Disk group category but the subcategory box
is empty. One possible reason is that *some* but not all of the servers I'm
trying to collect data from do not have diskperf turned on. Obviously that
needs to be addressed, but does one bad apple in a perfmon session spoil the
whole session? I can't get data on any of the servers, not even the ones
with diskperf set correctly.
