Pipelines Performance Counters

The following table describes the pipeline performance counters that you should monitor for data related to particular pipeline components.

Note

Instances of the pipeline performance counters appear in the System Monitor only after the pipelines are loaded from the pipeline configuration files (PCF files) at runtime. An instance is created for each pipeline component in the pipeline, in addition to an instance to track the totals for the pipeline. These instances will no longer appear in System Monitor when the application ends.

You can use the results of the pipeline performance counters to analyze the average execution time and the number of errors or warnings for a particular component of the pipeline. For example, you can monitor the Average execution time counter to make sure that the average time taken to execute a particular pipeline component falls within the expected range.

You can find these counters in Microsoft Windows Server System Monitor. The System Monitor organizes performance counters by performance object. You should monitor your site by using performance counters and view the results collectively.
