%PerfCounter, %PerfCounterR functions
Function
The function returns the value of the given "Performance Counter".
Declaration
| Blok kódu | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
INT %PerfCounter( TEXT in text ) |
| Blok kódu | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
REAL %PerfCounterR( TEXT in text ) |
Parameters
| text | Performance Counter definition. |
Description
Performance Counter definition syntax is as follows:
\\ComputerName\Object(instance)\Counter.
If you want to monitor the counter on a local computer, the first part giving the computer name may be omitted. If an object has only one instance, the part "instance" is omitted.
If the function %PerfCounter (%PerfCounterR) is called frequently (more times than once per second), it returns the wrong values (0).
If there is the need to call the function each second for more system information, we recommend you to execute each calling executing each function call on the different line in the ESL script.
Example
| Blok kódu | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
%PerfCounter("\D2000 Server\MemUsed") ; returns the memory size used by process D2000 Server |
Note 1
In some situations (for specific counters), the %PerfCounter returns always zero at first calling, e.g. for load counter of processor: " \Processor(_Total)\% User Time". Then you must call this function twice in a loop with delay (the size delay must be set empirically) between the callings.
For other counters (e.g. "\Memory\Available MBytes", "\LogicalDisk(C:)\% Free Space" or "\Process(_Total)\Handle count"), this function works without any problems and returns the correct value immediately at first call.
Apparently, there is a problem with the counters that requires a certain time between the registration of the counter and loading reading its value.

Apparently, there is a problem with the counters that requires a certain time between the registration of the counter and loading reading its value.
This is an example of the code which calls %PerfCounter twice with the delay of 0.1 second seconds if the value 0 has been loaded at first callingread during the first call:
| Blok kódu | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
INT _i
REAL _result
FOR _i=1 TO 2 DO_LOOP
_result := %PerfCounter("\Processor(_Total)\% User Time")
IF _result\VLD THEN
IF _result=0 & _i=1 THEN ; workaround - at first calling (e.g. it returns 0 on \Processor (_Total)\% User Time)
DELAY 0.1 [s]
ELSE
EXIT_LOOP
ENDIF
ELSE
EXIT_LOOP
ENDIF
END_LOOP |
This code does not work because the same row is not called twice, the same instance of PerfCounter function:
| Blok kódu | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
INT _i REAL _result _result := %PerfCounter(_counter) IF _result\VLD THEN IF _result=0 THEN ; NONFUNCTIONAL workaround - at first calling (e.g. it returns 0 on \Processor(_Total)\% User Time) DELAY 0.05 [s] _result := %PerfCounter(_counter) ENDIF ENDIF |
Note 2
We recommend using the %PerfCounterR when it is assumed that the value will be higher than 2 147 483 647.
