Énumération System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType

Cet article vous offre des remarques complémentaires à la documentation de référence pour cette API.

L’énumération PerformanceCounterType spécifie les types de compteurs de performances qui mappent directement aux types natifs.

Certains types de compteurs représentent des données brutes, tandis que d’autres représentent des valeurs calculées basées sur un ou plusieurs exemples de compteurs. Les catégories suivantes classifient les types de compteurs disponibles.

  • Moyenne : mesure une valeur au fil du temps et affiche la moyenne des deux dernières mesures. Un compteur de base qui suit le nombre d’échantillons impliqués est associé à chaque compteur moyen.
  • Différence : soustrait la dernière mesure de la précédente et, si la différence est positive, l’affiche ; si elle est négative, affiche un zéro.
  • Instantané : affiche la mesure la plus récente.
  • Pourcentage : affiche les valeurs calculées sous forme de pourcentage.
  • Taux : échantillonne un nombre croissant d’événements au fil du temps et divise la modification des valeurs de nombre par la modification dans le temps pour afficher un taux d’activité.

Lors de l’échantillonnage des données de compteur de performances, l’utilisation d’un type de compteur qui représente une moyenne peut rendre les valeurs de données brutes significatives pour votre utilisation. Par exemple, le compteur NumberOfItems64 de données brutes peut exposer des données qui sont assez aléatoires de l’échantillon à l’échantillon. La formule d’un calcul moyen des valeurs retournées par le compteur est (X 0 +X 1 +...+X n)/n, où chaque X i est un exemple de compteur brut.

Les compteurs de taux sont similaires aux compteurs moyens, mais plus utiles pour les situations dans lesquelles le taux augmente en tant que ressource. Une formule qui calcule rapidement la moyenne est ((X n -X 0)/(T n -T 0)) / fréquence, où chaque X i est un échantillon de compteur et chaque T i est le moment où l’échantillon correspondant a été pris. Le résultat est l’utilisation moyenne par seconde.

Les compteurs multitimeur collectent des données à partir de plusieurs instances d’un composant, comme un processeur ou un disque.

Les compteurs inverses mesurent le temps pendant lequel un composant n’est pas actif et dérivent l’heure active de cette mesure.

Remarque

Sauf indication contraire, la base de temps est de secondes.

Lorsque vous instrumentez des applications (création et écriture de compteurs de performances personnalisés), vous pouvez utiliser des types de compteurs de performances qui s’appuient sur un compteur de base associé utilisé dans les calculs. Le compteur de base doit être immédiatement après son compteur associé dans la CounterCreationDataCollection collection utilisée par votre application. Le tableau suivant répertorie les types de compteurs de base avec leurs types de compteurs de performances correspondants.

Voici les formules utilisées par certains compteurs qui représentent des valeurs calculées :

  • AverageCount64: (N1 - N0)/(B1 - B0), où N 1 et N 0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances, et B1 et B0 sont leurs valeurs correspondantes AverageBase . Ainsi, le numérateur représente le nombre d’éléments traités pendant l’intervalle d’échantillonnage, et le dénominateur représente le nombre d’opérations terminées pendant l’intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • AverageTimer32: ((N1 - N0)/F)/(B1 - B0), où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances, B1 et B0 sont leurs valeurs correspondantes AverageBase , et F est le nombre de graduations par seconde. La valeur de F est prise en compte dans l’équation afin que le résultat puisse être affiché en secondes. Par conséquent, le numérateur représente le nombre de graduations comptées pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage, F représente la fréquence des graduations, et le dénominateur représente le nombre d’opérations effectuées pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • CounterDelta32: N1 - N0, où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances.

  • CounterDelta64: N1 - N0, où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances.

  • CounterMultiTimer: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100 / B, où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances, D1 et D0 correspondent à leurs lectures de temps correspondantes dans les cycles du minuteur de performances système, et la variable B indique le nombre de bases pour les composants supervisés (à l’aide d’un compteur de base de type CounterMultiBase). Par conséquent, le numérateur représente les parties de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage pendant lesquelles les composants surveillés étaient actifs, et le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé total de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • CounterMultiTimer100Ns: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100 / B, où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances, D1 et D0 sont leurs lectures de temps correspondantes en unités de 100 nanosecondes, et la variable B indique le nombre de bases pour les composants supervisés (à l’aide d’un compteur de base de type CounterMultiBase). Par conséquent, le numérateur représente les parties de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage pendant lesquelles les composants surveillés étaient actifs, et le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé total de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • CounterMultiTimer100NsInverse: (B - ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, où le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé total de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage, le numérateur représente le temps pendant l’intervalle pendant lequel les composants surveillés étaient inactifs, et B représente le nombre de composants surveillés, à l’aide d’un compteur de base de type CounterMultiBase.

  • CounterMultiTimerInverse: (B- ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, où le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé total de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage, le numérateur représente le temps pendant l’intervalle où les composants surveillés étaient inactifs, et B représente le nombre de composants surveillés, à l’aide d’un compteur de base de type CounterMultiBase.

  • CounterTimer: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances, et D1 et D0 sont leurs lectures de temps correspondantes. Par conséquent, le numérateur représente les parties de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage pendant lesquelles les composants surveillés étaient actifs, et le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé total de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • CounterTimerInverse: (1- ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, où le numérateur représente le temps pendant l’intervalle où les composants surveillés étaient inactifs, et le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé total de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • CountPerTimeInterval32: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), où le numérateur représente le nombre d’éléments dans la file d’attente, et le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • CountPerTimeInterval64: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), où le numérateur représente le nombre d’éléments d’une file d’attente et le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé pendant l’intervalle d’échantillonnage.

  • ElapsedTime: (D0 - N0) / F, où D0 représente l’heure actuelle, N0 représente l’heure de démarrage de l’objet et F représente le nombre d’unités de temps qui s’écoulent en une seconde. La valeur de F est prise en compte dans l’équation afin que le résultat puisse être affiché en secondes.

  • NumberOfItems32:Aucun. N’affiche pas de moyenne, mais affiche les données brutes telles qu’elles sont collectées.

  • NumberOfItems64:Aucun. N’affiche pas de moyenne, mais affiche les données brutes telles qu’elles sont collectées.

  • NumberOfItemsHEX32:Aucun. N’affiche pas de moyenne, mais affiche les données brutes telles qu’elles sont collectées.

  • NumberOfItemsHEX64:Aucun. N’affiche pas de moyenne, mais affiche les données brutes telles qu’elles sont collectées

  • RateOfCountsPerSecond32: (N1 - N0) / ((D1 - D0) / F), où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances, D1 et D0 sont leurs lectures temporelles correspondantes, et F représente le nombre de graduations par seconde. Ainsi, le numérateur représente le nombre d’opérations effectuées pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage, le dénominateur représente le nombre de graduations écoulées pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage, et F est la fréquence des graduations. La valeur de F est prise en compte dans l’équation afin que le résultat puisse être affiché en secondes.

  • RateOfCountsPerSecond64: (N1 - N0) / ((D1 - D0) / F), où N1 et N0 sont des lectures de compteurs de performances, D1 et D0 sont leurs lectures temporelles correspondantes, et F représente le nombre de graduations par seconde. Ainsi, le numérateur représente le nombre d’opérations effectuées pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage, le dénominateur représente le nombre de graduations écoulées pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage, et F est la fréquence des graduations. La valeur de F est prise en compte dans l’équation afin que le résultat puisse être affiché en secondes.

  • RawFraction: (N0 / D0) x 100, où D0 représente un attribut mesuré (à l’aide d’un compteur de base de type RawBase) et N0 représente un composant de cet attribut.

  • SampleCounter: (N1 - N0) / ((D1 - D0) / F), où le numérateur (N) représente le nombre d’opérations terminées, le dénominateur (D) représente le temps écoulé en unités de cycles du minuteur de performances système, et F représente le nombre de graduations qui s’écoulent en une seconde. F est pris en compte dans l’équation afin que le résultat puisse être affiché en secondes.

  • SampleFraction: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100, où le numérateur représente le nombre d’opérations réussies pendant le dernier intervalle d’échantillonnage, et le dénominateur représente la modification du nombre de toutes les opérations (du type mesuré) effectuées pendant l’intervalle d’échantillonnage, à l’aide de compteurs de type SampleBase.

  • Timer100Ns: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0) x 100, où le numérateur représente les parties de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage pendant lequel les composants surveillés étaient actifs, et le dénominateur représente le temps écoulé total de l’intervalle d’échantillonnage.

    ' 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
