Performance Monitoring Service is starting by itself
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Even though the Performance Monitoring Service (PMI Service) has been disabled on the server, the service starts on its own after a given time every time.

Selecting the check box for the "Startup" property in the Performance Monitoring Service panel (in WebSphere Application Server V5) or checking the "Enable Performance Monitoring Infrastructure" (in WebSphere Application Server V6), saving/synchronizing the changes made and restarting the server does not make a difference.
 
Cause
A third party software like Tivoli Performance Viewer or Wily IntroScope may be monitoring performance on the server and causing the PMI Service to startup as it accesses the underlying interfaces it uses.
 
Resolving the problem
Check for and disable any third party software that is monitoring performance on the server.

Check for any custom scripts that may be starting the third party performance monitoring software.
