How can I use server's inbuilt windows performance monitor results in jmeter installed on local machine?

I need to analyse the performance reports of my server for which I am using Server Performance Monitoring in Jmeter which needs an installation of Perfmon metrics collector and Perfmon Server Agent. But, as I have installed Jmeter on local and I do not have the rights to install anything on Server, I am not able to install Perfmon Server agent to get the reports. However, I came to know that a Windows server has an inbuilt Perfmon installed but I do not know how to use it.

Hence, I need help in sending the reports from server using Windows performance monitor and collecting those reports in Jmeter installed on local machine.

You have 2 options:

  1. In Windows Performance Monitor there is an option to connect to remote machine:

    Windows Perfmon another machine

  2. You can create your own Data Collector Set and write counters data into a file. Once your test is finished you will be able to copy the file and analyze the collected metrics.


Unfortunately you won't be able to integrate Windows Performance Monitor reports into a JMeter test, it will be a standalone monitoring option. Basically Server Agent doesn't require "installation", you can just copy it over and make sure JMeter can connect to port 4444, see How to Monitor Your Server Health & Performance During a JMeter Load Test article for details.
