System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType enumeração

Este artigo fornece observações complementares à documentação de referência para essa API.

A PerformanceCounterType enumeração especifica tipos de contador de desempenho que mapeiam diretamente para tipos nativos.

Alguns tipos de contador representam dados brutos, enquanto outros representam valores calculados com base em uma ou mais amostras de contador. As categorias a seguir classificam os tipos de contadores disponíveis.

  • Média: mede um valor ao longo do tempo e exibe a média das duas últimas medições. Um contador base que rastreia o número de amostras envolvidas é associado a cada contador médio.
  • Diferença: Subtrai a última medida da anterior e, se a diferença for positiva, a exibirá, se negativa, exibe um zero.
  • Instantâneo: Exibe a medição mais recente.
  • Porcentagem: Exibe valores calculados como uma porcentagem.
  • Taxa: Mostra uma contagem crescente de eventos ao longo do tempo e divide a alteração nos valores de contagem pela alteração no tempo para exibir uma taxa de atividade.

Ao amostrar dados do contador de desempenho, o uso de um tipo de contador que represente uma média pode tornar os valores de dados brutos significativos para seu uso. Por exemplo, o contador NumberOfItems64 de dados brutos pode expor dados que são bastante aleatórios de amostra para amostra. A fórmula para um cálculo médio dos valores que o contador retorna seria (X 0 + X 1 +...+X n)/n, onde cada X i é uma amostra bruta do contador.

Os contadores de taxa são semelhantes aos contadores médios, mas mais úteis para situações em que a taxa aumenta à medida que um recurso é usado. Uma fórmula que calcula rapidamente a média é ((X n -X 0)/(T n -T 0)) / frequência, onde cada X i é uma amostra contadora e cada T i é o tempo em que a amostra correspondente foi coletada. O resultado é o uso médio por segundo.

Contadores multitemporizadores coletam dados de mais de uma instância de um componente, como um processador ou disco.

Os contadores inversos medem o tempo que um componente não está ativo e derivam o tempo ativo dessa medição.

Observação

Salvo indicação em contrário, a base de tempo é de segundos.

Ao instrumentar aplicativos (criando e escrevendo contadores de desempenho personalizados), você pode estar trabalhando com tipos de contadores de desempenho que dependem de um contador base que acompanha o uso nos cálculos. O contador base deve estar imediatamente após seu CounterCreationDataCollection contador associado na coleção que seu aplicativo usa. A tabela a seguir lista os tipos de contador base com seus tipos de contador de desempenho correspondentes.

Tipo de contador de base Tipos de contadores de desempenho
AverageBase AverageTimer32

AverageCount64
RawBase RawFraction
CounterMultiBase CounterMultiTimer

CounterMultiTimerInverse

CounterMultiTimer100Ns

CounterMultiTimer100NsInverse
SampleBase SampleFraction

A seguir estão as fórmulas usadas por alguns dos contadores que representam valores calculados:

  • AverageCount64: (N1 - N0)/(B1 - B0), onde N 1 e N 0 são leituras do contador de desempenho, e B1 e B0 são seus valores correspondentes AverageBase . Assim, o numerador representa o número de itens processados durante o intervalo amostral e o denominador representa o número de operações concluídas durante o intervalo amostral.

  • AverageTimer32: ((N1 - N0)/F)/(B1 - B0), onde N1 e N0 são leituras de contadores de desempenho, B1 e B0 são seus valores correspondentes AverageBase , e F é o número de ticks por segundo. O valor de F é fatorado na equação para que o resultado possa ser exibido em segundos. Assim, o numerador representa o número de carrapatos contados durante o último intervalo amostral, F representa a frequência dos carrapatos e o denominador representa o número de operações concluídas durante o último intervalo amostral.

  • CounterDelta32: N1 - N0, onde N1 e N0 são leituras do contador de desempenho.

  • CounterDelta64: N1 - N0, onde N1 e N0 são leituras do contador de desempenho.

  • CounterMultiTimer: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100 / B, onde N1 e N0 são leituras de contador de desempenho, D1 e D0 são suas leituras de tempo correspondentes em ticks do temporizador de desempenho do sistema, e a variável B denota a contagem de base para os componentes monitorados (usando um contador base do tipo CounterMultiBase). Assim, o numerador representa as porções do intervalo amostral durante as quais os componentes monitorados estiveram ativos, e o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral.

  • CounterMultiTimer100Ns: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100 / B, onde N1 e N0 são leituras de contador de desempenho, D1 e D0 são suas leituras de tempo correspondentes em unidades de 100 nanossegundos, e a variável B denota a contagem de base para os componentes monitorados (usando um contador base do tipo CounterMultiBase). Assim, o numerador representa as porções do intervalo amostral durante as quais os componentes monitorados estiveram ativos, e o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral.

  • CounterMultiTimer100NsInverse: (B - ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, onde o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral, o numerador representa o tempo durante o intervalo em que os componentes monitorados estavam inativos, e B representa o número de componentes sendo monitorados, utilizando um contador base do tipo CounterMultiBase.

  • CounterMultiTimerInverse: (B- ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, onde o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral, o numerador representa o tempo durante o intervalo em que os componentes monitorados estavam inativos, e B representa o número de componentes sendo monitorados, utilizando um contador base do tipo CounterMultiBase.

  • CounterTimer: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), onde N1 e N0 são leituras de contadores de desempenho, e D1 e D0 são suas leituras de tempo correspondentes. Assim, o numerador representa as porções do intervalo amostral durante as quais os componentes monitorados estiveram ativos, e o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral.

  • CounterTimerInverse: (1- ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, onde o numerador representa o tempo durante o intervalo em que os componentes monitorados estavam inativos, e o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral.

  • CountPerTimeInterval32: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), onde o numerador representa o número de itens na fila, e o denominador representa o tempo decorrido durante o último intervalo amostral.

  • CountPerTimeInterval64: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), onde o numerador representa o número de itens em uma fila e o denominador representa o tempo decorrido durante o intervalo amostral.

  • ElapsedTime: (D0 - N0) / F, onde D0 representa a hora atual, N0 representa a hora em que o objeto foi iniciado e F representa o número de unidades de tempo decorridas em um segundo. O valor de F é fatorado na equação para que o resultado possa ser exibido em segundos.

  • NumberOfItems32:Nenhum. Não exibe uma média, mas mostra os dados brutos à medida que são coletados.

  • NumberOfItems64:Nenhum. Não exibe uma média, mas mostra os dados brutos à medida que são coletados.

  • NumberOfItemsHEX32:Nenhum. Não exibe uma média, mas mostra os dados brutos à medida que são coletados.

  • NumberOfItemsHEX64:Nenhum. Não exibe uma média, mas mostra os dados brutos à medida que são coletados

  • RateOfCountsPerSecond32: (N1 - N0) / ((D1 - D0) / F), onde N1 e N0 são leituras de contadores de desempenho, D1 e D0 são suas leituras de tempo correspondentes, e F representa o número de carrapatos por segundo. Assim, o numerador representa o número de operações realizadas durante o último intervalo amostral, o denominador representa o número de carrapatos decorridos durante o último intervalo amostral e F é a frequência dos carrapatos. O valor de F é fatorado na equação para que o resultado possa ser exibido em segundos.

  • RateOfCountsPerSecond64: (N1 - N0) / ((D1 - D0) / F), onde N1 e N0 são leituras de contadores de desempenho, D1 e D0 são suas leituras de tempo correspondentes, e F representa o número de carrapatos por segundo. Assim, o numerador representa o número de operações realizadas durante o último intervalo amostral, o denominador representa o número de carrapatos decorridos durante o último intervalo amostral e F é a frequência dos carrapatos. O valor de F é fatorado na equação para que o resultado possa ser exibido em segundos.

  • RawFraction: (N0 / D0) x 100, onde D0 representa um atributo medido (usando um contador base do tipo RawBase) e N0 representa um componente desse atributo.

  • SampleCounter: (N1 - N0) / ((D1 - D0) / F), onde o numerador (N) representa o número de operações concluídas, o denominador (D) representa o tempo decorrido em unidades de ticks do temporizador de desempenho do sistema, e F representa o número de ticks que decorrem em um segundo. F é fatorado na equação para que o resultado possa ser exibido em segundos.

  • SampleFraction: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100, onde o numerador representa o número de operações bem-sucedidas durante o último intervalo amostral, e o denominador representa a mudança no número de todas as operações (do tipo medida) concluídas durante o intervalo amostral, usando contadores do tipo SampleBase.

  • Timer100Ns: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0) x 100, onde o numerador representa as porções do intervalo amostral durante as quais os componentes monitorados estiveram ativos, e o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral.

  • Timer100NsInverse: (1- ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, onde o numerador representa o tempo durante o intervalo em que os componentes monitorados estavam inativos, e o denominador representa o tempo total decorrido do intervalo amostral.

    ' 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
