Computer diagnostics using LV?

[JLucas]

I am testing a small Windows NT network and need to know when a machine on
the network loses functionality. I am considering using LV with a datasocket
application to collect info over the network. Is there any information on
interfacing LV with the Performance Monitor objects in WinNT or using LV to
perform system diagnostics in general? I searched the KB and came up with
zip.

I have previously used the native WinNT PerfMon application to collect
system information over a network, but I want to do real-time analysis on
the info locally using LV and send summary results over the net to the
server. Any help or comments would be appreciated.

You aught to check out the Microsoft Developer Network (msdn.microsoft.com). There is probably some way you can get access to the diagnostic information you want directly through a Windows system api. It might require some interaction with C code, but if you can find the right functions to call, you should be able to bring the info into LabVIEW.
