PERFLOG -- Peformance Data Log Service

This tool logs data from performance counters to tab or comma-separated variable files. 
It lets you choose which performance counters you want to log, and starts new log files 
automatically at intervals you select.

The text files to which PerfLog logs data can be used as input to spreadsheets, databases, 
and other applications, as well as to Performance Monitor. Unlike Performance Monitor 
logs, which store data in a compact, multi-dimensional C-language data format, PerfLog 
logs can be used as direct input without reformatting.

PerfLog uses the same objects and counters as Performance Monitor (included with the 
Windows NT operating system), but it lets you select which counters you want to log for 
each instance of an object. You can also select the level of detail you need on an instance 
and let PerfLog select a set of counters for you.

PERFLOG includes the following files:

pdlcnfig.exe
pdlsvc.exe
