MAS - SPM - Performance Monitoring - Modular Messaging Counters

Modular Messaging exports a variety of Performance Counters through the Windows Performance Monitoring API, which can be used to gauge the overall status of an MAS at any given time.

Note: For information on Performance Monitoring, see your Microsoft Windows documentation or the Microsoft Performance Logs and Alerts Help.

The types of counters exported range from the total number of calls taken by the MAS to the current state of each port on the server.
