Diagnostics, Monitoring, and Reporting SharePoint Server 2010 comes equipped with
a large number of diagnostic and performance monitoring tools, organized into different
functional areas:
Developer Dashboard This is designed to provide greater performance and tracing infor-
mation that can be used to troubleshoot issues. The dashboard provides information about
controls, queries, and execution time for the page-rendering process.
Unified Logging Service (ULS) This is a troubleshooting tool that provides access to
various log files and lets you filter your view to hone in on the data you specifically need.
Usage Database This is part of the usage and health data collection system and provides
information on SharePoint usage patterns.
SharePoint Maintenance Engine (SPME) Rules This checks the administrative configu-
ration, performance, security issues, and other areas, either periodically or on demand,
and makes recommendations on how to solve potential issues. This was formerly known
as the Best Practices Analyzer.
