Optional Components - Instrumentation

When the agent is installed using one of the packaged installation methods, the Windows performance counters are extended so that they expose metrics relating to the operation of the ServerAssist components via the standard Windows performance query API. These counters can be used to track and monitor internal aspects of ServerAssist's operation, such as the size of the internal data store, or the number of SMTP messages currently queued for delivery.

When the agent is installed from the console using the remote deployment wizard, it is not technically possible to add support for ServerAssist performance counters. Should it be necessary to have these counters available on a system to which the agent has been remotely deployed, they can be installed independently.
