Enumeration „System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType“

Dieser Artikel enthält ergänzende Hinweise zur Referenzdokumentation für diese API.

Die PerformanceCounterType Aufzählung gibt Leistungsindikatortypen an, die direkt systemeigenen Typen zugeordnet werden.

Einige Zählertypen stellen Rohdaten dar, während andere berechnete Werte darstellen, die auf einem oder mehreren Zählerbeispielen basieren. Die folgenden Kategorien klassifizieren die verfügbaren Leistungsindikatorentypen.

  • Mittelwert: Misst einen Wert im Laufe der Zeit und zeigt den Mittelwert der letzten beiden Messungen an. Ein Basiszähler, der die Anzahl der beteiligten Stichproben nachverfolgt, ist jedem durchschnittlichen Zähler zugeordnet.
  • Unterschied: Subtrahiert die letzte Maßeinheit vom vorherigen, und wenn der Unterschied positiv ist, wird sie angezeigt; wenn negativ, wird eine Null angezeigt.
  • Sofort: Zeigt die neueste Messung an.
  • Prozentsatz: Zeigt berechnete Werte als Prozentsatz an.
  • Rate: Beispiele für eine zunehmende Anzahl von Ereignissen im Laufe der Zeit und dividiert die Änderung der Anzahlwerte durch die Änderung der Zeit, um eine Aktivitätsrate anzuzeigen.

Beim Sampling von Leistungsindikatordaten kann die Verwendung eines Zählertyps, der einen Mittelwert darstellt, unformatierte Datenwerte für Ihre Verwendung sinnvoll machen. Der Rohdatenzähler NumberOfItems64 kann z. B. Daten verfügbar machen, die relativ zufällig von Beispiel zu Beispiel sind. Die Formel für eine durchschnittliche Berechnung der werte, die der Zähler zurückgibt, wäre (X 0 +X 1 +...+X n)/n, wobei jedes X i ein unformatiertes Zählerbeispiel ist.

Zinszähler ähneln durchschnittlichen Leistungsindikatoren, sind jedoch nützlicher für Situationen, in denen die Rate als Ressource verwendet wird. Eine Formel, die den Mittelwert schnell berechnet, ist ((X n -X 0)/(T n -T 0)) / Häufigkeit, wobei jedes X i eine Zählerprobe ist und jeder T i die Zeit, zu der die entsprechende Stichprobe aufgenommen wurde. Das Ergebnis ist die durchschnittliche Nutzung pro Sekunde.

Multitimerzähler sammeln Daten aus mehr als einer Instanz einer Komponente, z. B. einem Prozessor oder Datenträger.

Umgekehrte Leistungsindikatoren messen die Zeit, zu der eine Komponente nicht aktiv ist, und leiten die aktive Zeit von dieser Messung ab.

Hinweis

Sofern nicht anders angegeben, beträgt die Zeitbasis Sekunden.

Beim Instrumentieren von Anwendungen (Erstellen und Schreiben von benutzerdefinierten Leistungsindikatoren) arbeiten Sie möglicherweise mit Leistungsindikatortypen, die auf einem begleitenden Basiszähler basieren, der in den Berechnungen verwendet wird. Der Basiszähler muss sich unmittelbar nach dem zugeordneten Zähler in der Sammlung befinden, die CounterCreationDataCollection Ihre Anwendung verwendet. In der folgenden Tabelle sind die Basiszählertypen mit den entsprechenden Leistungsindikatortypen aufgeführt.

Im Folgenden sind die Formeln aufgeführt, die von einigen der Indikatoren verwendet werden, die berechnete Werte darstellen:

  • AverageCount64: (N1 - N0)/(B1 - B0), wobei N 1 und N 0 Leistungsindikatoren sind und B1 und B0 die entsprechenden AverageBase Werte sind. Daher stellt der Zähler die Anzahl der während des Beispielintervalls verarbeiteten Elemente dar, und der Nenner stellt die Anzahl der Vorgänge dar, die während des Beispielintervalls abgeschlossen wurden.

  • AverageTimer32: ((N1 - N0)/F)/(B1 - B0), wobei N1 und N0 Leistungsindikatoren sind, B1 und B0 die entsprechenden AverageBase Werte sind und F die Anzahl der Teilstriche pro Sekunde ist. Der Wert von F wird in die Formel eingegliedert, sodass das Ergebnis in Sekunden angezeigt werden kann. Daher stellt der Zähler die Anzahl der Teilstriche dar, die während des letzten Beispielintervalls gezählt wurden, F die Häufigkeit der Teilstriche, und der Nenner stellt die Anzahl der Vorgänge dar, die während des letzten Beispielintervalls abgeschlossen wurden.

  • CounterDelta32: N1 - N0, wobei N1 und N0 Leistungsindikatoren sind.

  • CounterDelta64: N1 - N0, wobei N1 und N0 Leistungsindikatoren sind.

  • CounterMultiTimer: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100 / B, wobei N1 und N0 Leistungsindikatoren sind, D1 und D0 die entsprechenden Zeitwerte in Teilstrichen des Systemleistungszeitgebers sind, und die Variable B gibt die Basisanzahl für die überwachten Komponenten an (unter Verwendung eines Basiszählers vom Typ CounterMultiBase). Daher stellt der Zähler die Teile des Beispielintervalls dar, in dem die überwachten Komponenten aktiv waren, und der Nenner stellt die gesamt verstrichene Zeit des Beispielintervalls dar.

  • CounterMultiTimer100Ns: ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0)) x 100 / B, wobei N1 und N0 Leistungsindikatoren sind, D1 und D0 die entsprechenden Zeitwerte in 100-Nanosekundeneinheiten sind, und die Variable B kennzeichnet die Basisanzahl für die überwachten Komponenten (unter Verwendung eines Basiszählers vom Typ CounterMultiBase). Daher stellt der Zähler die Teile des Beispielintervalls dar, in dem die überwachten Komponenten aktiv waren, und der Nenner stellt die gesamt verstrichene Zeit des Beispielintervalls dar.

  • CounterMultiTimer100NsInverse: (B - ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, wobei der Nenner die gesamt verstrichene Zeit des Beispielintervalls darstellt, stellt der Zähler die Zeit während des Intervalls dar, in dem überwachte Komponenten inaktiv waren, und B stellt die Anzahl der überwachten Komponenten dar, wobei ein Basiszähler des Typs CounterMultiBaseverwendet wird.

  • CounterMultiTimerInverse: (B- ((N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0))) x 100, wobei der Nenner die gesamt verstrichene Zeit des Beispielintervalls darstellt, stellt der Zähler die Zeit während des Intervalls dar, in dem überwachte Komponenten inaktiv waren, und B stellt die Anzahl der überwachten Komponenten dar, wobei ein Basiszähler des Typs CounterMultiBaseverwendet wird.

  • CounterTimer: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), wobei N1 und N0 Leistungsindikatoren sind und D1 und D0 die entsprechenden Zeitwerte sind.

  • CountPerTimeInterval32: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), wobei der Zähler die Anzahl der Elemente in der Warteschlange darstellt, und der Nenner die Zeit, die während des letzten Beispielintervalls verstrichen ist.

  • CountPerTimeInterval64: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), wobei der Zähler die Anzahl der Elemente in einer Warteschlange darstellt und der Nenner die Zeit darstellt, die während des Beispielintervalls verstrichen ist.

  • ElapsedTime: (D0 - N0) / F, wobei D0 die aktuelle Uhrzeit darstellt, N0 die Zeit, die das Objekt gestartet wurde, und F stellt die Anzahl der Zeiteinheiten dar, die in einer Sekunde verstrichen sind. Der Wert von F wird in die Formel eingegliedert, sodass das Ergebnis in Sekunden angezeigt werden kann.

  • RateOfCountsPerSecond32: (N1 - N0) / ((D1 - D0) / F), wobei N1 und N0 Leistungsindikatoren sind, D1 und D0 die entsprechenden Zeitwerte und F die Anzahl der Teilstriche pro Sekunde darstellt.

    ' 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
