Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Thread class

  • Articolo

The Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Thread raw performance data class provides raw data from performance counters that monitor aspects of thread behavior. A thread is the basic object that executes instructions on a processor. All running processes have at least one thread.

This class represents the Thread object in System Monitor. The WMI source of its data is the high-performance Performance Counter Provider. The original data source is the PerfProc performance library. The corresponding formatted data class is Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Thread.

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and shows all inherited properties, including the Frequency and Timestamp properties required for class display in System Monitor. For more information about required property qualifiers, see Property Qualifiers for Performance Counter Classes. For more information about CounterType values, see WMI Performance Counter Types.

  • Properties

Properties

The Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Thread class has these properties.

Caption

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Short textual description for the statistic or metric. This property is inherited from CIM_StatisticalInformation.

ContextSwitchesPerSec

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Context Switches/sec") , CounterType (272696320) , DefaultScale (-2) , PerfDetail (200)

Rate of switches from one thread to another. Thread switches can occur either inside of a single process or across processes. A thread switch can be caused either by one thread requesting data from another thread or because a higher priority thread is ready to run. The operating system uses process boundaries for subsystem protection in addition to the traditional protection of user and privileged modes. These subsystem processes provide additional protection. Therefore, some work done by the operating system on behalf of an application will appear in other subsystem processes in addition to the privileged time in the application. Switching to the subsystem process causes one Context Switch in the application thread. Switching back causes another Context Switch in the subsystem thread.

Description

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Textual description of the statistic or metric. This property is inherited from CIM_StatisticalInformation.

ElapsedTime

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Elapsed Time") , CounterType (807666944) , DefaultScale (-4) , PerfDetail (200)

Total elapsed time, in seconds, this thread has been running.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

Frequency_Object

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Frequency, in ticks per second, of Timestamp_Object. This property is defined by the provider. This property is inherited from Win32_Perf.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

Frequency_PerfTime

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Frequency, in ticks per second, of Timestamp_Perftime. A value could be obtained by calling the Windows function QueryPerformanceCounter. This property is inherited from Win32_Perf.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

Frequency_Sys100NS

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Frequency, in ticks per second, of Timestamp_Sys100NS (10000000). This property is inherited from Win32_Perf.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

IDProcess

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("ID Process") , CounterType (65536) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (400)

Unique identifier of this process. Values for this property are reused, so they only identify a process for the lifetime of that process.

IDThread

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("ID Thread") , CounterType (65536) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (400)

Unique identifier of this thread. Values for this property are reused, so they only identify a thread for the lifetime of that thread.

Name

Data type: string

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: Key, MaxLen (256)

Label by which the statistic or metric is known. When sub-classed, the property can be overridden to be a key property. This property is inherited from CIM_StatisticalInformation.

PercentPrivilegedTime

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("% Privileged Time") , CounterType (542180608) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (200)

Percentage of non-idle processor time spent in privileged mode. Privileged mode is a processing mode designed for operating system components and hardware-manipulating drivers. It allows direct access to hardware and all memory. The alternative, user mode, is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems. The operating system switches application threads to privileged mode to access operating system services. This property includes time servicing interrupts and deferred procedure calls (DPC). A high rate of privileged time may occur because a failing device generates a large number of interrupts. This property displays the average busy time as a percentage of the sample time.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

PercentProcessorTime

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("% Processor Time") , PerfDefault, CounterType (542180608) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (100)

Percentage of time that the processor is executing a non-Idle thread. This property was designed as a primary indicator of processor activity. It is calculated by measuring the time that the processor spends executing the thread of the Idle process in each sample interval, and subtracting that value from 100%. The Idle process consumes cycles when no other threads in the processor are ready to run. It can be viewed as the percentage of the sample interval spent doing useful work. This property displays the average percentage of busy time observed during the sample interval. It is calculated by monitoring the time the service was inactive, and then subtracting that value from 100%.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

PercentUserTime

Data type: uint64

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("% User Time") , CounterType (65536) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (200)

Percentage of non-idle processor time spent in user mode. User mode is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems. The alternative, privileged mode, is designed for operating system components and allows direct access to hardware and all memory. The operating system switches application threads to privileged mode to access operating system services. This property displays the average busy time as a percentage of the sample time.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

PriorityBase

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Priority Base") , CounterType (65536) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (200)

Current base priority of this thread. The system can raise the dynamic priority of the thread above the base priority if the thread is handling user input, or lower it toward the base priority if the thread starts executing a CPU-intensive computation.

PriorityCurrent

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Priority Current") , CounterType (65536) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (200)

Current dynamic priority of this thread. The system can raise the dynamic priority of the thread above the base priority if the thread is handling user input, or lower it toward the base priority if the thread starts executing a CPU-intensive computation.

StartAddress

Data type: uint32

Access type: Read-only

Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Start Address") , CounterType (65536) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (400)
