I have implemented Performance counters on the productions DB. What is the effect of these counters on the server performance?

Is there a counter for this also? How to monitor this ...?

No there isn't a counter for this. There really isn't any overhead unless you've enabled other trace flags not normally on. There would be the overhead of writing them to a file, running the perfmon tool, etc. I prefer to run performance monitor from another box if I'm actually looking at it.

Definitely run this from a client machine and not on the server being monitored. It is highly NOT recommended that you run this on the same machine that you are monitoring. When you do this, you are negatively impacting performance and also your collection of data is skewed.
