Show performance counters for option in BizTalk Server 2010

In BizTalk Server 2010, the Hosts option in Settings Dashboard has a Show performance counters for setting. By default, this is set to Messaging. This means that Performance Monitor will display Message Agent counters for messaging. If the host contains orchestrations, no Message Agent output for the orchestration (XLANG) instances will display.

If your host only contains orchestrations, change the Show performance counters for setting to Orchestrations to display Message Agent counters for Orchestration instances. Restart the host instance.

If your host only contains receive ports/send ports, keep the Messaging option to display Message Agent counters for Messaging instances.

In BizTalk Server 2009 and BizTalk Server 2006 R2, the Performance Monitor output displays the Message Agent counters for the most active service class. This can be modified by adding the MsgAgentPerfCounterServiceClassID registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTSSvc$HostName

How to Modify the Default Host Throttling Settings explains how to add the MsgAgentPerfCounterServiceClassID registry key in BizTalk 2009.
