I ran PerfMon on my production server and it created a .blg file. I copied the file into my Win2000 pro local computer. Using PerfMon -> Console -> Open, I opened the .blg file and System Monitor shows the graph and total report. I need to see data for a specific time, i.e. 9am - 5pm on Friday but I can't see any thing. I thought I can open the .blg file under Counter Logs but I can't.

How can I read the .blg to get a detailed information?

Thanks,

Canada DBA

I think once you load the BLG, you have to add a counter. The counters you can pick from should only be the ones you logged. Once you load them, the graph you'll see will be for the entire time you graphed. Finding a specific time might be a bit challenging.

It didn't work that way. If I creat a counter, it will create a new one.

I found a solution!
On System Monitor I clicked on 'Hand on note' icon which is properties and obtained the source log file where the status are gathered. On the Source tab itself I found TimeRange command button and get the information.
