How can I read the dmp file created by perfmon?

http://serverfault.com – I'm trying to debug a memory problem on a client web server that I have no access to. The client, with some help from Microsoft consulting, set up a bunch of perfmon counters and just sent us the results, in the form of a massive (750MB) binary file with a .dmp extension, and I have no idea how to read this file. windbg is the only tool I can find for dmp files, but that's about stack frames and crashes, not log data. perfmon itself doesn't seem to know what to do with this file. It's entirely possible that the client messed this up, but I'm on the hook to make some sense of this file. (HowTos)

I have an XML file containing SQL 2008 R2 counter sets for Windows 2008 Perfmon. I would like to migrate these to a Windows 2003 server with SQL 2005.

How can I do this? Thanks!

I am collecting PerfMon counters on a SQL Server 2008 server (which is hosted on a VM), and I am getting different Page File % Usage values for _Total and C:\pagefile.sys. The C:\pagefile.sys values are consistently at zero, and the _Total values are consistently around 26.

Perfmon data into SQL 34 weeks 12 hours ago

Sorry for the wall of text below.

At my workplace we have quite a few Exchange servers and supporting Domain Controllers, all currently being monitored by SCOM.

Perfmon seems to have two ways to capture / log its findings. One is to use a "data collector," and the other is to open a context menu and "Save Settings As" which produces an html file.

Could someone explain what scenario(s) inspire the two different means of capturing data? I mean, I've noticed that data collectors can be stored as CSV, binary, SQL, etc.

I have a virtual server with a hosting company so CPU and RAM are limited. I need to watch load/performance over time to know when to upgrade the server.

The site runs multiple ASP.NET apps as well as PHP apps, all with MSSQL backend.

What are some vital perfmon counters to use to monitor a standard IIS/MSSQL web server: I.e. incoming IIS request volume, response times, MSSQL load, etc?

I set up some performance gathering in Performance Monitor (perfmon) on a particular server. (I setup a Data Collector Set for the server, with specific Data Collectors, setup start and stop condition, etc.) I'd like to setup identical performance gathering on the rest of the servers. (There's about 12.)

I'd like to keep all of the performance monitoring on one server.
