I guess I missed this episode when it was first released, but MSDNTV has a really good talk by Eric Olson, “Monitoring ASP.NET Applications”

Erik Olson introduces a number of performance counters that are important for assessing the health of ASP.NET applications. He presents a brief introduction to a set of relevant counters, performance monitoring tools, and some recommendations about how to remedy performance and reliability issues.

Eric also mentions a great article which was published on MSDN a while ago, “ASP.NET Performance Monitoring, and When to Alert Administrators”.

One of the items I want to spend sometime on over the next couple of weeks is monitoring the .Text cache usage. More specifically, attempting to make sure what gets entered into the actually gets reused.
