I believe the notes "Performance Monitoring" must be remove from NT first, right?
As a disclaimer, I will say that the platform statistic reporter is not 100%
accurate or reliable. There are many documented problems with the
statistics that are generated. However, it can provide you with some
excellent information. To start, make sure you are using Domino R5.0.5 or
above. If you are using NT, the stats only work on Intel hardware, not
Alpha. Stats also do not work for Windows 2000. Currently, this feature is
slated for RNext for Windows 2000. You must have the notes.ini setting
Platform_Statistics_Enabled=1 somewhere in your ini, but avoid the bottom.
Domino has a tendency to ignore ini parameters at the bottom of the file.
There is also a registry entry that must point to NNOTES.DLL. That is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\notestat\Performance\Library.
If you want disk information, you must be running Diskperf. I am not sure
if you have to remove the Notes Performance Monitor from NT. I never
install it because it often prevents you from cleanly shutting down the
Domino service. IMHO, this feature has never worked right, and it has
caused more server crashes than I can remember. It was especially
problematic when used in conjunction with Compaq's Insight Manager.
