2.2.2 64-bit performance console counter information

PFM - Agent for Platform can collect 64-bit performance console counters as performance information from fields other than those defined in the Generic Data Detail64 (PD_GD64) and Generic Data Interval64 (PI_GI64) records.

User-defined records that can be defined as Generic Data Detail64 (PD_GD64) and Generic Data Interval64 (PI_GI64) records are similar to the information that is displayed in the following windows in Windows.

In Windows Server 2003
  • System Monitor in the Performance window
  • Performance Logs and Alerts in the Performance window
In Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012
  • Performance > Monitor Tools > Performance Monitor in the Performance Monitor window
  • Set Data Collector in the Performance Monitor window

Because the Generic Data Detail64 (PD_GD64) and Generic Data Interval64 (PI_GI64) records have different record types as shown below, use them for their intended purpose.

Table 2-3 Generic Data Detail64 and Generic Data Interval64 record types
