Explanation (?): |
The performance logs and alerts service is a system tracking feature for Windows that allows you to monitor system vitals. It allows you to set up tracking events that monitor, log, and trigger alerts when specific conditions are met by counters. This means that you can do such thing as log CPU usage. It can even be set to log alerts if specified conditions are met or exceeded, or to send an event through the alerter service, or to execute a program. This service is very powerful, but unless you're a developer or an administrator you will find little use for this service. Set this service to manual if you do not need it, and set it to automatic if you do. |

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both. And be one traveler, long I stood. And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair. And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that, the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay. In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference." -- Robert Frost: Road Not Taken (1962) |
