Creating a systems diagnostics report in Vista

Windows Vista comes with some really neat features and systems diagnostics report is one of them.

Periodic monitoring of system helps us in determining it’s bottlenecks and resolving potential problems that it might face.

Reliability and Performance Monitor in Windows Vista gives us a neat detailed view of our system – its potential bottlenecks and the stuff that is already configured / optimized.

One feature of Reliability and Performance Monitor is the system and health report functionality.
It works by basically collecting data on various parameters of Vista for 60 seconds and then displays a report indicating what is lacking or what is already present from a performance tuning perspective.

Let’s take a look at how to get this report :

1. Navigate to Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools > Advanced Tools.

2. Select the Generate a system health report.

3. Once launched,it will for 60 seconds collect information about the system.

4. Once the diagnostics is finished,a report is displayed showing areas of concern and areas that require no tune up.

5. It is advisable to save this somewhere so that it serves as a baseline for future diagnostics to ensure that Vista is running as expected.

Hope this has been an informative post.

Peace.
