Great intro. I like it.

I have seen tools like Intuit (now Quest S/w) Coefficient that do a phenomenal job of analyzing the output of a trace and posting the results in an extremely easy to use format.

Can you post some useful trace templates that you use for Profiler 2008 and how to use them?

Also, how do you baseline a server using Profiler and how can this info be best used when something starts acting up.
