Starting Performance Explorer

Before you start working with Silk Performer, make sure that you know how your application is set up and deployed. For example, find out which of your machines powers the database and application servers.

Here are some ways to start Performance Explorer:

From the Windows start menu: ClickStart > Programs > Silk > Silk Performer <version> > Analysis Tools > Silk Performance Explorer.
From Silk Performer: Click Results > Monitor Server.
From Silk Performer: Click Results > Explore Time Series.
From Silk Performer: Click Tools > Silk Performance Explorer.
From a command-line tool.

When editing a new template or launching Performance Explorer from the Silk Performer results menu, the program opens with several predefined monitor graphs and a predefined data source (your local machine).
