Collected Metrics

Metric Name	Display Name	Description
aspnetapplications.requestsexecuting	ASPNETApplications RequestsExecuting	The number of requests currently executing.
aspnetapplications.requestsinapplicationqueue	ASPNETApplications RequestsInApplicationQueue	The number of requests in the application request queue.
aspnetapplications.requestwaittime	ASPNETApplications RequestWaitTime	The number of milliseconds the most recent request was waiting in the queue.
aspnetapplications.requestsrejected	ASPNETApplications RequestsRejected	The number of requests rejected because the application request queue was full.
aspnet.workerprocessrestarts	ASPNET WorkerProcessRestarts	Number of times a worker process has restarted on the machine.
memory.availablebytes	Memory AvailableBytes	Available Bytes is the amount of physical memory, in bytes, immediately available for allocation to a process or for system use. It is equal to the sum of memory assigned to the standby (cached), free and zero page lists.
memory.cachebytes	Memory CacheBytes	Cache Bytes the size, in bytes, of the portion of the system file cache which is currently resident and active in physical memory. The Cache Bytes and Memory\\System Cache Resident Bytes counters are equivalent. This counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.
memory.committedbytes	Memory CommittedBytes	Committed Bytes is the amount of committed virtual memory, in bytes. Committed memory is the physical memory which has space reserved on the disk paging file(s). There can be one or more paging files on each physical drive. This counter displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.
memory.pagespersec	Memory PagesPersec	Pages/sec is the rate at which pages are read from or written to disk to resolve hard page faults. This counter is a primary indicator of the kinds of faults that cause systemwide delays.
system.contextswitchespersec	System ContextSwitchesPersec	Context Switches/sec is the combined rate at which all processors on the computer are switched from one thread to another. Context switches occur when a running thread voluntarily relinquishes the processor, is preempted by a higher priority ready thread, or switches between usermode and privileged (kernel) mode to use an Executive or subsystem service.
logicaldisk.currentdiskqueuelength	LogicalDisk CurrentDiskQueueLength	Current Disk Queue Length is the number of requests outstanding on the disk at the time the performance data is collected. It also includes requests in service at the time of the collection. This is a instantaneous snapshot, not an average over the time interval. Multispindle disk devices can have multiple requests that are active at one time, but other concurrent requests are awaiting service. This counter might reflect a transitory high or low queue length, but if there is a sustained load on the disk drive, it is likely that this will be consistently high. Requests experience delays proportional to the length of this queue minus the number of spindles on the disks. For good performance, this difference should average less than two.
logicaldisk.percentdisktime	LogicalDisk PercentDiskTime	% Disk Time is the percentage of elapsed time that the selected disk drive was busy servicing read or write requests.
logicaldisk.percentidletime	LogicalDisk PercentIdleTime	% Idle Time reports the percentage of time during the sample interval that the disk was idle.
physicaldisk.currentdiskqueuelength	PhysicalDisk CurrentDiskQueueLength	Current Disk Queue Length is the number of requests outstanding on the disk at the time the performance data is collected. It also includes requests in service at the time of the collection. This is a instantaneous snapshot, not an average over the time interval. Multispindle disk devices can have multiple requests that are active at one time, but other concurrent requests are awaiting service. This counter might reflect a transitory high or low queue length, but if there is a sustained load on the disk drive, it is likely that this will be consistently high. Requests experience delays proportional to the length of this queue minus the number of spindles on the disks. For good performance, this difference should average less than two.
physicaldisk.percentdisktime	PhysicalDisk PercentDiskTime	% Disk Time is the percentage of elapsed time that the selected disk drive was busy servicing read or write requests.
physicaldisk.percentidletime	PhysicalDisk PercentIdleTime	% Idle Time reports the percentage of time during the sample interval that the disk was idle.
networkinterface.bytessentpersec	NetworkInterface BytesSentPersec	Bytes Sent/sec is the rate at which bytes are sent over each network adapter, including framing characters. Network Interface\Bytes Sent/sec is a subset of Network Interface\Bytes Total/sec.
networkinterface.packetsoutbounderrors	NetworkInterface PacketsOutboundErrors	Packets Outbound Errors is the number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
networkinterface.packetsreceivederrors	NetworkInterface PacketsReceivedErrors	Packets Received Errors is the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higherlayer protocol.
networkinterface.bytesreceivedpersec	NetworkInterface BytesReceivedPersec	Bytes Received/sec is the rate at which bytes are received over each network adapter, including framing characters. Network Interface\Bytes Received/sec is a subset of Network Interface\Bytes Total/sec.
networkinterface.bytestotalpersec	NetworkInterface BytesTotalPersec	Bytes Total/sec is the rate at which bytes are sent and received over each network adapter, including framing characters. Network Interface\Bytes Total/sec is a sum of Network Interface\Bytes Received/sec and Network Interface\Bytes Sent/sec.
officeserversearcharchivalplugin.totaldocsinfirstqueue	OfficeServerSearchArchivalPlugin Totaldocsinfirstqueue	Number of documents in the first queue of the archival plugin. This should be less than 500 during a crawl, and very low at other times. If the counter is above 500, the search database drive on the database server is probably a bottleneck.
process.pagefaultspersec	Process PageFaultsPersec	Page Faults/sec is the rate at which page faults by the threads executing in this process are occurring. A page fault occurs when a thread refers to a virtual memory page that is not in its working set in main memory. This may not cause the page to be fetched from disk if it is on the standby list and hence already in main memory, or if it is in use by another process with whom the page is share.
process.privatebytes	Process PrivateBytes	Private Bytes is the current size, in bytes, of memory that this process has allocated that cannot be shared with other processes.
process.handlecount	Process HandleCount	The total number of handles currently open by this process. This number is equal to the sum of the handles currently open by each thread in this process.
process.percentprocessortime	Process PercentProcessorTime	% Processor Time is the percentage of elapsed time that all of process threads used the processor to execution instructions. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a computer, a thread is the object that executes instructions, and a process is the object created when a program is run. Code executed to handle some hardware interrupts and trap conditions are included in this count.
process.workingset	Process WorkingSet	Working Set is the current size, in bytes, of the Working Set of this process. The Working Set is the set of memory pages touched recently by the threads in the process. If free memory in the computer is above a threshold, pages are left in the Working Set of a process even if they are not in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from Working Sets. If they are needed they will then be softfaulted back into the Working Set before leaving main memory.
processor.interruptspersece	Processor InterruptsPersec	Interrupts/sec is the average rate, in incidents per second, at which the processor received and serviced hardware interrupts. It does not include deferred procedure calls (DPCs), which are counted separately. This value is an indirect indicator of the activity of devices that generate interrupts, such as the system clock, the mouse, disk drivers, data communication lines, network interface cards, and other peripheral devices. These devices normally interrupt the processor when they have completed a task or require attention. Normal thread execution is suspended. The system clock typically interrupts the processor every 10 milliseconds, creating a background of interrupt activity. This counter displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.
processor.percentprivilegedtime	Processor PercentPrivilegedTime	% Privileged Time is the percentage of elapsed time that the process threads spent executing code in privileged mode. When a Windows system service in called, the service will often run in privileged mode to gain access to systemprivate data. Such data is protected from access by threads executing in user mode. Calls to the system can be explicit or implicit, such as page faults or interrupts. Unlike some early operating systems, Windows uses process boundaries for subsystem protection in addition to the traditional protection of user and privileged modes. Some work done by Windows on behalf of the application might appear in other subsystem processes in addition to the privileged time in the process.
processor.percentusertime	Processor PercentUserTime	% User Time is the percentage of elapsed time the processor spends in the user mode. User mode is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems. The alternative, privileged mode, is designed for operating system components and allows direct access to hardware and all memory. The operating system switches application threads to privileged mode to access operating system services. This counter displays the average busy time as a percentage of the sample time.
redirector.serversessionshung	Redirector ServerSessionsHung	Number of active sessions that are timed out and unable to proceed due to a lack of response from the remote server.
officeserversearchindexercatalogs.queriessucceeded	OfficeServerSearchIndexerCatalogs QueriesSucceeded	Number of queries that produce successful searches.
officeserversearchindexercatalogs.queries	OfficeServerSearchIndexerCatalogs Queries	Number of queries posted to the server.
server.workitemshortages	Server WorkItemShortages	The number of times STATUS_DATA_NOT_ACCEPTED was returned at receive indication time. This occurs when no work item is available or can be allocated to service the incoming request. Indicates whether the InitWorkItems or MaxWorkItems parameters might need to be adjusted.
