System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterType – výčet

Tento článek obsahuje doplňující poznámky k referenční dokumentaci pro toto rozhraní API.

Výčet PerformanceCounterType určuje typy čítačů výkonu, které se mapuje přímo na nativní typy.

Některé typy čítačů představují nezpracovaná data, zatímco jiné představují počítané hodnoty založené na jednom nebo více ukázkách čítačů. Následující kategorie klasifikují dostupné typy čítačů.

  • Průměr: Měří hodnotu v čase a zobrazuje průměr posledních dvou měření. Základní čítač, který sleduje počet zahrnutých vzorků, je přidružený ke každému průměrnému čítači.
  • Rozdíl: Odečte poslední měření od předchozího a pokud je rozdíl kladný, zobrazí ho; pokud je záporný, zobrazí nulu.
  • Okamžité: Zobrazí nejnovější měření.
  • Procento: Zobrazí počítané hodnoty jako procento.
  • Rychlost: Vzorky zvyšující se počet událostí v průběhu času a vydělí změnu hodnot počtu změnou v čase, aby se zobrazila míra aktivity.

Při vzorkování dat čítače výkonu může použití typu čítače představujícího průměr smysluplné nezpracované hodnoty dat pro vaše použití. Například nezpracovaný čítač NumberOfItems64 dat může vystavit data, která jsou poměrně náhodná ze vzorku do vzorku. Vzorec pro průměrný výpočet hodnot, které čítač vrátí, by byl (X 0 +X 1 +...+X n)/n, kde každý X i je nezpracovaný vzorek čítače.

Čítače sazeb se podobají průměrným čítačům, ale užitečnější pro situace, kdy se míra zvyšuje při použití prostředku. Vzorec, který rychle vypočítá průměr, je ((X n -X 0)/(T n -T 0)) / frekvence, kde každý X i je vzorkem čítače a každý T i je čas, kdy byl odebrán odpovídající vzorek. Výsledkem je průměrné využití za sekundu.

Čítače multitimeru shromažďují data z více než jedné instance komponenty, jako je procesor nebo disk.

Inverzní čítače měří čas, kdy komponenta není aktivní, a odvozuje aktivní čas z daného měření.

Poznámka:

Pokud není uvedeno jinak, je časový základ sekund.

Při instrumentaci aplikací (vytváření a psaní vlastních čítačů výkonu) můžete pracovat s typy čítačů výkonu, které spoléhají na doprovodný základní čítač, který se používá ve výpočtech. Základní čítač musí být bezprostředně po přidruženém čítači v kolekci CounterCreationDataCollection , která vaše aplikace používá. Následující tabulka uvádí základní typy čítačů s odpovídajícími typy čítačů výkonu.

Tady jsou vzorce používané čítači, které představují počítané hodnoty:

  • AverageCount64: (N1 - N0)/(B1 - B0), kde N 1 a N 0 jsou čtení čítačů výkonu a B1 a B0 jsou jejich odpovídající AverageBase hodnoty. Čitatel tedy představuje počet položek zpracovaných během intervalu vzorku a jmenovatel představuje počet operací dokončených během intervalu výběru.

    ' 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
