Can I acces sysmon tool as a com object and if yes, what methods are available?

Hi,

Yes, you can! Actually, Microsoft has dedicated a full chapter for it
at MSDN site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/perfmon/base/system_monitor_automation_interface.asp

Quote from the web site: "You can add the fully scriptable System
Monitor control to any ActiveX-enabled container such as a Microsoft
Word document, or a web page viewed by Internet Explorer, and then
call the System Monitor Automation Interface from your VBScript
script. The capabilities of VBScript can be added to the functionality
of the System Monitor Automation Interface to create customized
performance monitors with capabilities beyond the Performance MMC
console."


To summarize, system monitor provides the following interfaces:


CounterItem
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/perfmon/base/counteritem.asp

Provides counter property information.


Counters
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/perfmon/base/counters.asp

Provides methods for adding or removing CounterItem objects and
accessing related properties. It is a collection of CounterItem
objects.


LogFileItem
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/perfmon/base/logfileitem.asp

Provides a property for returning the path of a single log file
accessed by the System Monitor control.


SystemMonitor
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/perfmon/base/systemmonitor.asp

Provides methods and properties that correspond to the functionality
provided by the System Monitor user interface. Each SystemMonitor
object contains one Counters collection object.
