Performing Trend Analysis

Trend analysis is evaluating historical trends in system performance data to identify and diagnose problems as they develop and identify the changing needs of your organization.

You should configure and use Windows NT Performance Monitor to identify trends. Based on these trends, you can add system resources or reconfigure the system to meet the changing needs of your organization.

For information about using Performance Monitor, see Chapter 3, "Monitoring Your Organization," and your Windows NT documentation.
