Explains the 'monitor' mode's minimal impact and default triggers (exceptions, slow pages) with a frequency limit. Describes how to generate IntelliTrace files using `Checkpoint-WebApplicationMonitoring` and how to open them in Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 RC to diagnose exceptions and performance events.
