Another common need for a custom application is recording a performance counter for later viewing and monitoring the value of a counter. As an example in this recipe, we will be using the System Up Time counter, but please be aware that this is already captured in a standard pack. This recipe again builds on previous recipes, so please follow those first to acquire an understanding of how we got to this point.
Make sure that you have followed the previous recipes or their equivalent. This will provide you with a SCOM environment and MP Author already installed and available for use. We are building on the previous recipes for this example, but you should be able to follow this recipe for any future requirements.
