Performance Counters Logging
Using Report-View, you can instantly monitor performance and you can also log these counters in a .blg file. All the counter values, which are currently in the dashboard will be logged into a file after each second. You can start the performance counters logging instantly or you can schedule the logging at a specific time. Moreover, you can log the performance counters on a cache, as well as, a specific node based on your requirement. On saving the logs of the cache, a separate log file will be generated for each node in case of a clustered cache.
