When you run a Data Collector Set, the data that is collected for performance counters is stored to a log file (.blg) in the location that was defined when the Data Collector Set was created. In Windows Performance Monitor, you can view log files to see a visual representation of performance counter data.

- Start Windows Performance Monitor. - Choose Start, in the Search box, type perfmon, and then choose the related link. 
 
- In the navigation pane, expand Monitoring Tools, and then choose Performance Monitor. 
- In the console pane toolbar, choose the View Log Data button. - The Performance Monitor Properties page opens at the Source tab. 
- In the Data Source section, select Log files, and then choose the Add button. 
- Browse to the log file that you want to view, and then choose the Open button. 
- Choose the OK button.
