e.g.

Object = .NET Data Provider for SqlServer

Instance = alertingengine[2516]

Counter = NumberOfPooledConnections

This instance will disappear whenever the services are restarted and will be replaced by an instance with the same name, but a new PID.  It would be nice to be able to monitor this counter regardless of it's PID (e.g. Instance = alertingengine[*]) and to view a contiguous graph of the value of this counter over time.
