Monitoring Performance

In order to answer questions about Team Foundation Server performance, you must establish a baseline of the performance of your deployment. Performance monitoring requires observing a specific set of performance counters over time. Team Foundation Server provides performance counters that allow you to monitor server performance and activity. For more information about how to use the information available through performance counters, see Evaluating Team Foundation Server Performance. The following table describes the available Team Foundation performance monitors.

TFS Services Counters

Counter Name	Description
Current Events In Process	The number of Team Foundation Server events being matched with subscriptions.
Current Notifications Queued	The number of notifications ready to be sent.
Current Events/Sec	The processing rate of the Team Foundation Server event system.
Current Link Queries/Sec	The rate of queries about links between artifacts in Team Foundation Server.
Current Registration Queries/Sec	The rate that the Team Foundation Server registration service is being queried.

TFS Proxy Server Counters

Counter Name	Description
Current Cache Size(Bytes)	The current cache size.
Total Download Requests	The total number of download requests that come to the proxy server.
Total Cache Hits	The total number of download requests served from the file cache.
