Displaying performance data
After you have collected performance data, learn how to display the data using the most appropriate tool for your purposes.
Displaying performance data helps you analyze your system's performance more accurately. Performance data can be displayed in many different ways; however, you may find a certain performance application more appropriate in some situations. Most applications display data collected with either Collection Services or from a performance trace. The best way to access that data depends on whether you are attempting to resolve a performance problem, are monitoring your system performance to plan for future growth, or are identifying trends.
