PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists Method

Definition

Determines whether the category is registered on the system.

Overloads

Exists(String)

Determines whether the category is registered on the local computer.

Exists(String, String)

Determines whether the category is registered on the specified computer.

Determines whether the category is registered on the local computer.

public:
 static bool Exists(System::String ^ categoryName);
public static bool Exists (string categoryName);
static member Exists : string -> bool
Public Shared Function Exists (categoryName As String) As Boolean

Parameters

categoryName
String

The name of the performance counter category to look for.

Returns

true if the category is registered; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

The categoryName parameter is null.

The categoryName parameter is an empty string ("").

A call to an underlying system API failed.

Code that is executing without administrative privileges attempted to read a performance counter.

Examples

The following code example determines whether a PerformanceCounterCategory object named "orders" exists. If not, it creates the PerformanceCounterCategory object by using a CounterCreationDataCollection object that contains two performance counters.

if (  !PerformanceCounterCategory::Exists( "Orders" ) )
{
   CounterCreationData^ milk = gcnew CounterCreationData;
   milk->CounterName = "milk";
   milk->CounterType = PerformanceCounterType::NumberOfItems32;

   CounterCreationData^ milkPerSecond = gcnew CounterCreationData;
   milkPerSecond->CounterName = "milk orders/second";
   milkPerSecond->CounterType = PerformanceCounterType::RateOfCountsPerSecond32;

   CounterCreationDataCollection^ ccds = gcnew CounterCreationDataCollection;
   ccds->Add( milkPerSecond );
   ccds->Add( milk );
   PerformanceCounterCategory::Create( "Orders", "Number of processed orders", ccds );
}
if (!PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists("Orders"))
{
    CounterCreationData milk = new CounterCreationData();
    milk.CounterName = "milk";
    milk.CounterType = PerformanceCounterType.NumberOfItems32;

    CounterCreationData milkPerSecond = new CounterCreationData();
    milkPerSecond.CounterName = "milk orders/second";
    milkPerSecond.CounterType = PerformanceCounterType.RateOfCountsPerSecond32;

    CounterCreationDataCollection ccds = new CounterCreationDataCollection();
    ccds.Add(milkPerSecond);
    ccds.Add(milk);

    PerformanceCounterCategory.Create("Orders", "Number of processed orders",
        PerformanceCounterCategoryType.SingleInstance, ccds);
}
If Not PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists("Orders") Then        
    Dim milk As New CounterCreationData()
    milk.CounterName = "milk"
    milk.CounterType = PerformanceCounterType.NumberOfItems32
    
    Dim milkPerSecond As New CounterCreationData()
    milkPerSecond.CounterName = "milk orders/second"
    milkPerSecond.CounterType = PerformanceCounterType.RateOfCountsPerSecond32
    
    Dim ccds As New CounterCreationDataCollection()
    ccds.Add(milkPerSecond)
    ccds.Add(milk)
    
    PerformanceCounterCategory.Create("Orders", "Number of processed orders", _
           PerformanceCounterCategoryType.SingleInstance, ccds)
End If

Remarks

Use of the Exists method can result in a noticeable performance penalty while all performance counters on the machine are checked for availability. If you are only writing to a performance counter, you can avoid the global search for performance counters by creating the performance counter when the application is installed and assuming the category exists when accessing the counter. There is no way to avoid the performance counter search when reading from performance counters.

Note

To read performance counters from a non-interactive logon session in Windows Vista and later, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, or Windows Server 2003, you must either be a member of the Performance Monitor Users group or have administrative privileges.

To avoid having to elevate your privileges to access performance counters in Windows Vista and later, add yourself to the Performance Monitor Users group.

In Windows Vista and later, User Account Control (UAC) determines the privileges of a user. If you are a member of the Built-in Administrators group, you are assigned two run-time access tokens: a standard user access token and an administrator access token. By default, you are in the standard user role. To execute the code that accesses performance counters, you must first elevate your privileges from standard user to administrator. You can do this when you start an application by right-clicking the application icon and indicating that you want to run as an administrator.
