Win32 console application "ScanPerfCounters.exe" retrieves a list of performance counters available on your windows system. A single counter instance can be selected via dialog to test the periodic retrieving of performance data.
The names of performance counters depend both on the windows version and the language pack installed. The helper application ScanPerfCounters provides a list of valid counter names which may be used within some other program to access specific performance information.
Syntax:
ScanPerfCounters [ALL_INSTANCES]
When started the program executes the following three steps:
- the counter names are searched within registry and all counter instance names are printed to stdout. When option ALL_INSTANCES is given all instances of a counter object are listed otherwise (default) only the first counter instance is listed.
- the standard PDH browse dialog is opened; in this dialog an arbitrary performance counter can be selected
- the actual counter value of the selected counter is periodically printed to stdout, program can be stopped with any key click
Hint:
Redirect the output to some logfile to get a storable list of performance counter names.
