RESMONCFG files are XML-based and follow a specific structure. The file consists of a root element named “ResourceMonitorConfiguration” and may contain one or more “Counter” elements. Each “Counter” element represents a specific resource that is being monitored. It includes attributes such as “Name,” which specifies the name of the resource, and “IsEnabled,” which determines whether the resource is being monitored. Additionally, “Counter” elements can contain “Instance” elements, which represent specific instances of the resource (for example, different CPU cores).
