Counters

• Typical performance counter collection

Counter	Meaning	Remarks
\Memory\Available Bytes	available bytes
\Memory\Committed Bytes	the private bytes committed to processes
\Process(process_name)\% Processor Time	Processor Time = User Time + Privileged Time
\Process(process_name)\% Privileged Time	the percentage of non-idle processor time spent executing code in privileged mode
\Process(process_name)\% User Time	the percentage of time that the processor spent executing code in user mode
\Process(process_name)\Private Bytes	bytes allocated exclusively for a specific process	can be paged to disk or in the standby page list
\Process(process_name)\Working Set	the shared and private bytes allocated to a process	suddenly drop when you minimize an application
\Process(process_name)\Pool Nonpaged Bytes	the number of bytes in the nonpaged pool, an area of system memory for objects that cannot be written to disk
\Process(process_name)\Pool Paged Bytes	the number of bytes in the paged pool, an area of system memory for objects that can be written to disk
\Process(process_name)\Handle Count	the total number of handles currently open by this process
\Process(process_name)\Thread Count	the number of threads that were active in this process
\Process(process_name)\IO Read Bytes/sec	the rate at which the process was reading bytes from I/O operations
\Process(process_name)\IO Write Bytes/sec	the rate at which the process was writing bytes to I/O operations
\Network Interface(card_name)\Bytes Received/sec
\Network Interface(card_name)\Bytes Sent/sec
