I get a lot of questions about what are the available options to monitor with SharePoint Server 2007. Since I could not find a list, I did it the old fashioned way and typed them here for your viewing pleasure. It is truly amazing the granularity at which you can monitor MOSS 2007. I especially like the granularity provided in monitoring Seach/Indexing. This list does not include the .NET, ASP.NET, IIS6.0, or Windows Workflow Counters that also exist. I will update this list as I find new WSS/MOSS counters or they change.
Cheers-
