Enumeración System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType

En este artículo se proporcionan comentarios adicionales a la documentación de referencia de esta API.

La PerformanceCounterType enumeración especifica los tipos de contador de rendimiento que se asignan directamente a tipos nativos.

Algunos tipos de contador representan datos sin procesar, mientras que otros representan valores calculados basados en una o más muestras de contador. Las siguientes categorías clasifican los tipos de contadores disponibles.

  • Promedio: mide un valor con el tiempo y muestra el promedio de las dos últimas medidas. Un contador base que realiza un seguimiento del número de muestras implicadas está asociado a cada contador promedio.
  • Diferencia: resta la última medida de la anterior y, si la diferencia es positiva, la muestra; si es negativa, muestra un cero.
  • Instantáneo: muestra la medida más reciente.
  • Porcentaje: muestra los valores calculados como porcentaje.
  • Frecuencia: muestra un recuento creciente de eventos a lo largo del tiempo y divide el cambio en los valores de recuento por el cambio en el tiempo para mostrar una tasa de actividad.

Al muestreo de datos del contador de rendimiento, el uso de un tipo de contador que representa un promedio puede hacer que los valores de datos sin procesar sean significativos para su uso. Por ejemplo, el contador NumberOfItems64 de datos sin procesar puede exponer datos que son bastante aleatorios de ejemplo a ejemplo. La fórmula para un cálculo medio de los valores que devuelve el contador sería (X 0 +X 1 +...+X n)/n, donde cada X i es una muestra de contador sin procesar.

Los contadores de velocidad son similares a los contadores promedio, pero son más útiles para situaciones en las que se aumenta la tasa a medida que se usa un recurso. Una fórmula que calcula rápidamente el promedio es ((X n -X 0)/(T n -T 0)) / frecuencia, donde cada X i es una muestra de contador y cada T i es el tiempo que se tomó la muestra correspondiente. El resultado es el uso medio por segundo.

Los contadores de varios temporizadores recopilan datos de más de una instancia de un componente, como un procesador o disco.

Los contadores inversos miden el tiempo que un componente no está activo y derivan el tiempo activo de esa medida.

Nota:

A menos que se indique lo contrario, la base de tiempo es segundos.

Al instrumentar aplicaciones (crear y escribir contadores de rendimiento personalizados), es posible que trabaje con tipos de contadores de rendimiento que dependen de un contador base complementario que se usa en los cálculos. El contador base debe ser inmediatamente después de su contador asociado en la colección que usa la CounterCreationDataCollection aplicación. En la tabla siguiente se enumeran los tipos de contadores base con sus correspondientes tipos de contadores de rendimiento.

RawBase RawFraction
CounterMultiBase CounterMultiTimer

A continuación se muestran las fórmulas que usan algunos de los contadores que representan valores calculados:

  • AverageCount64: (N1 - N0)/(B1 - B0), donde N 1 y N 0 son lecturas del contador de rendimiento, y B1 y B0 son sus valores correspondientes AverageBase . Por lo tanto, el numerador representa los números de elementos procesados durante el intervalo de muestra y el denominador representa el número de operaciones completadas durante el intervalo de muestra.

  • AverageTimer32: ((N1 - N0)/F)/(B1 - B0), donde N1 y N0 son lecturas de contadores de rendimiento, B1 y B0 son sus valores correspondientes AverageBase , y F es el número de tics por segundo. El valor de F se tiene en cuenta en la ecuación para que el resultado se pueda mostrar en segundos. Por lo tanto, el numerador representa los números de tics contados durante el último intervalo de muestra, F representa la frecuencia de los tics y el denominador representa el número de operaciones completadas durante el último intervalo de muestra.

  • CountPerTimeInterval32: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), donde el numerador representa el número de elementos de la cola y el denominador representa el tiempo transcurrido durante el último intervalo de ejemplo.

  • CountPerTimeInterval64: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), donde el numerador representa el número de elementos de una cola y el denominador representa el tiempo transcurrido durante el intervalo de muestra.

  • ElapsedTime: (D0 - N0) / F, donde D0 representa la hora actual, N0 representa la hora en que se inició el objeto y F representa el número de unidades de tiempo que transcurren en un segundo. El valor de F se tiene en cuenta en la ecuación para que el resultado se pueda mostrar en segundos.

  • NumberOfItems32:Ninguno. No muestra un promedio, pero muestra los datos sin procesar a medida que se recopilan.

  • NumberOfItems64:Ninguno. No muestra un promedio, pero muestra los datos sin procesar a medida que se recopilan.

    ' Formula from MSDN -
    '      Description - This counter type shows the ratio of a subset to its set as a percentage.
    '			For example, it compares the number of bytes in use on a disk to the
    '			total number of bytes on the disk. Counters of this type display the 
    '			current percentage only, not an average over time.
    '
    ' Generic type - Instantaneous, Percentage 
    '	    Formula - (N0 / D0), where D represents a measured attribute and N represents one
    '			component of that attribute.
    '
    '		Average - SUM (N / D) /x 
    '		Example - Paging File\% Usage Peak
