Automating "picture" of server performance

Hi all

I need to do the following using the performance monitor tool.

Im monitoring the %cpu used, transaction/sec and page/sec of a server using the perfomance monitor.

What i would need to do is to monitor all these information in a log that will reset himself once it has reached its maximum size limit. I also need to be able to take a "screenshot" of what was in the log when it became full but i cannot simply save the file because it would use too much space in the long run.

Is there a way for me to automating this information and make it so that each time the log become full i can take a screenshot (By that i mean getting a image of the information under the form of a graphic) of what was inside the log before it restart?

Ask if you need more precision

If you can't save the file, you probably can't save a graphic that would include everything and all the details in the file.

You can automate perf mon and dump it to a CSV. But if you tried to create a screenshot that shows all the details of all the info in the CSV and save all of those, it's likely not going to save space. Maybe you should look at the interval you are using in perf mon. Or save the file somewhere off the server if it's just space on the server itself. Or load the csv files into a table in a database. I just am not following the whole screenshot concept. It's not going to be that useful in analysis to have a ton of screenshots to look through.

I need those to help determine the best moment of the week to monitor the system through a server sided trace.

I think the best will be to just keep all the log and extract the information i want from it at the end of the week.
