PAL version 2.0 has officially been released on Codeplex by Clint Huffman. If you are not familiar with the project PAL is short for Performance Analysis Of Logs Tool. The tool reads performance monitor counter logs and analyzes them using known threshold limits. Some of the features of 2.0 are an easy GUI interface for creating threshold files, HTML basted reports, and performance analysis that changes based on the computers role.
The main change in PAL 2.0 is that it is based on Powershell. You can run it on any current Microsoft Operating System that has PowerShell v2.0, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, and Microsoft chart controls for .NET Framework 3.5 installed.
If you are an IT PRO or just somebody interested in performance analysis please check out this latest release. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. If you like the tool please drop the Codeplex site and let Clint know that you appreciate the tool.
