After you have created your log as outlined above and collected your data, the log file will be saved as a .blg file, the default folder is C:\perflogs. Open System Monitor and click on the View Log Data button (or Ctrl + L). Next click on the Source Tab and click the Add button ensuring that the Log Files radio button is selected under Data Source. Select the log that you created and press OK. You can then use the View Graph, View Histogram or View Report buttons to examine the data that you have collected.
