An instance without a value can't be sorted, and can't exist in this indexed list, as it is indistinguishable from all other instances that are 0. Note: Any Index which returns a current value of 0 will return an empty string as the string value. This will return the value of the instance in that position in the sorted list, and the name of the corresponding instance as the string value. Index=-1 This will always return the average of all instances, and the string 'Average'.

Index=0 This will always return the total of all instances, and the string 'Total'. This list will include all instances that are not excluded by a Blacklist on the measure. Index is used to return the total, or one of these indexed values based on the position in the list. Note: If Counter is defined, then Category must also be defined, and any Alias is ignored.Įxamples: Counter=% Processor Time, Counter=Bytes Read/sec Index Default: 0Īll instances for the counter are evaluated, totaled and sorted in an indexed list from highest value to lowest value. The Counter name from Perfmon.exe for the desired counter. Note: If Category is defined, then Counter must also be defined, and any Alias is ignored.Įxamples: Category=Process, Category=PhysicalDisk Counter Default: None The Category name from Perfmon.exe for the desired counter.

This may optionally be used in place of specific Category and Counter options on the measure. Alias Default: NoneĪlias or 'shortcut' for a particular Category and Counter combination. Options General measure optionsĪll general measure options are valid. Additional Alias values may be supported over time. The UsageMonitor plugin will optionally allow you to select common counters with a single Alias, rather than the specific, case-sensitive Category and Counter names. So each measure will have distinct number and string values.

The measure will return the current number value of the instance, and the current string value of the name of the instance. So for example, Index=1 would return the current value and name of the instance with the highest value for that counter.

Index This will be either Index=0, which will always return the current total of all instances for a given counter, Index=-1, which will always return the current average of all instances for a given counter,or Index=N, which will return the instance at the defined point in a sorted list of all instances, with their values ordered from most to least.

Name This will be the specific (case sensitive) text name of a single given instance, and will return the current value for that specific instance of a counter.

The UsageMonitor plugin will allow you to define instance in the measure in one of two ways:

Instance - Counters may have individual instances like 'Rainmeter' or 'C:'.

Counter - Categories have individual counters like '% Processor Time' or 'Bytes Read/sec'.This is also referred to as Object in Perfmon.exe

Category - Counters are organized into related categories like 'Process' or 'PhysicalDisk'.

To open it, run Perfmon.exe.Ĭounters in Windows Performance Monitor have the following hierarchy: All available counters can be viewed using the Performance Monitor application. The Windows Performance Monitor exposes counters, which monitor various kinds of system metrics in different categories, and tracks their usage. Plugin=UsageMonitor retrieves infromation from the Windows Performance Monitor.
