How to view current users with Performance Monitor?

Question

Tinkering with Performance Monitor, I see:

• Web Service -> Current Connections
• Web Service -> Get Requests/sec

Are there better counters to look at? Or perhaps other software?

Answer 1

As you can see in the image below, using Web Services -> Get Requests/sec is mostly sufficent for my needs. But, I was hoping on something more elaborate.

But considering how this is free, can't beat free.

Answer 2

For monitoring a small internal website you can view "Current Connections", also within the "Web Service" object. Keep in mind this is active connections, not users and a single user can hold multiple connections open. For example in my SharePoint 2010 environment each user makes 6 connections.
