Timelogger Tool to test performance and slowness issues

PROBLEM:

The TimeLogger tool is valuable for diagnosing performance or slowness-related problems.

Most performance or slowness issues stem from environmental factors or network slowdowns.

Solution: 

When you use the TimeLogger tool, it creates a TXT file in the specified location and writes 10,000 date/time stamps within that file. This straightforward tool helps determine whether a network is slow or not. The typical completion times are approximately 5 seconds to a local drive like C:\TEMP folder and about 20 seconds to a local share drive local to that machine. If you are running the tool from a client machine, completion times should be around 45-60 seconds to the CaptureSV share on the same fast network.

You can download the tool using the link below, and below are the example commands to run in the command prompt.Use this tool from the machine experiencing performance or slowness issues.

Example usage:

TimeLogger.exe C:\temp
TimeLogger.exe \\servername\CaptureSV

NOTE: Make sure to run the tool via Command Prompt in Administrator Mode.
