CounterDetails

The CounterDetails table describes a specific counter on a particular computer.

The CounterDetails table defines the following fields:

• CounterID: A unique identifier in the database that maps to a specific counter name text string. This field is the primary key of this table.
• MachineName: The name of the computer that logged this data set.
• ObjectName: The name of the performance object.
• CounterName: The name of the counter.
• CounterType: The counter type. For a list of counter types and their formulas, see the Counter Types section of the Windows Server 2003 Deployment Kit.
• DefaultScale: The default scaling to be applied to the raw performance counter data.
• InstanceName: The name of the counter instance.
• InstanceIndex: The index number of the counter instance.
• ParentName: Some counters are logically associated with others, and are referred to as parents. For example, the parent of a thread is a process and the parent of a logical disk driver is a physical drive. This field contains the name of the parent. Either the value in this field or the ParentObjectID field identifies a specific parent instance. If the value in this field is NULL, the value in the ParentObjectID field must be checked to identify the parent. If the values in both fields are NULL, the counter does not have a parent.
• ParentObjectID: The unique identifier of the parent. The value in either this field or the ParentName field identifies a specific parent instance. If the value in this field is NULL, the value in the ParentName field must be checked to identify the parent.
