To obtain information from a counter, you might need to convert the raw data generated by the counter into data that is more easily interpreted.

Remote Performance Monitor supports the following PERF types as counters, including calculations that can be used to convert raw data:

Counter Description

PERF_100NSEC_MULTI_TIMER

Performs timer sampling of multiple but similar items on a 100Nsec interval.

PERF_100NSEC_MULTI_TIMER_INV

Calculates the inverse of the timer for multiple but similar items on a 100Nsec interval.

PERF_100NSEC_TIMER

Performs timer sampling of a single object on a 100Nsec interval.

PERF_100NSEC_TIMER_INV

Calculates the inverse of the timer for single objects on a 100Nsec interval.

PERF_AVERAGE_BULK

Gives the bytes per operation when divided by the number of operations.

PERF_AVERAGE_TIMER

Gives time per operation when divided by the number of operations.

PERF_COUNTER_BULK_COUNT

Shows the byte transmission rates.

PERF_COUNTER_COUNTER

Tracks the rate of counts.

PERF_COUNTER_LARGE_RAWCOUNT

Gives instantaneous counter values for large values.

PERF_COUNTER_LARGE_RAWCOUNT_HEX

Gives instantaneous counter values in hexadecimal values for large values.

PERF_COUNTER_MULTI_TIMER

Performs timer sampling of multiple but similar items on a specified interval.

PERF_COUNTER_MULTI_TIMER_INV

Calculates the inverse of the timer for multiple but similar items on a specified interval.

PERF_COUNTER_QUEUELEN_TYPE

Calculates the inverse of the timer for multiple but similar items using (X1-X0)/(Y1-Y0).

PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT

Gives instantaneous counter values for specified values.

PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT_HEX

Gives instantaneous counter values in hexadecimal values for specified values.

PERF_COUNTER_TIMER

Performs timer sampling of a single object on a specified interval.

PERF_COUNTER_TIMER_INV

Calculates the inverse of the timer for single objects on a specified interval.

PERF_ELAPSED_TIME

Subtracts the start time of the item being measured, from the snapshot time to yield the elapsed time.

PERF_RAW_FRACTION

Calculates the instantaneous value, divided by the base data.

PERF_SAMPLE_COUNTER

Provides a count that is either 1 or 0 for each sampling interrupt.

PERF_SAMPLE_FRACTION

Calculates a percentage value of the number of samples with value 1, when each sampling interrupt is either 1 or 0.
