Microsoft Dynamics AX Performance Counters
You can use Performance Monitor objects and counters to collect information about the performance of each component of the architecture: Application Object Server (AOS), the database server, and Internet Information Services (IIS). We recommend that you run monitor performance primarily in a test environment. The recommended collection interval is 30 seconds.
You can use the Performance Monitor counters that are included with Microsoft Dynamics AX to help monitor the usage of system resources. By using counters, you can collect and view real-time performance data about server resources, such as processor and memory use, and about Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft SQL Server resources, such as locks and transactions.
