PFM - Agent for Platform can collect performance data not provided by default and store it in a record. This record for storing performance data is called a user-defined record. For details about how to collect user-defined records, see 5. User-Defined Record Collection.

The following table lists the information for which user-defined records can be set, the records corresponding to type of information, and the means for setting user-defined records.

Table 2-1 Information that can be set for user records, the corresponding records, and how user records are set

Information supporting user-defined record collection	Records	How records are set
Performance console counter information	PD_GEND record	Collection data addition utility
	PI_GENI record
64-bit performance console counter information	PD_GD64 record
	PI_GI64 record
Event log information	PD_ELOG record
Workgroup information	PI_WGRP record
Process operating status information	PD_APP2 record	PFM - Web Console
	PD_APPD record
	PD_APS record
	PD_APSI record
	PD_ASVC record
Application operating status information	PD_APP record
User-specific performance data	PD_UPD record
	PD_UPDB record
	PI_UPI record
	PI_UPIB record

Like other records, user-defined records specified on each host can be used for displaying reports on PFM - Web Console and issuing alarms based on monitoring.

When multiple pieces of performance data are collected into each record, a new line is added for each field in the user-defined record as each piece of performance data is collected. As a result, each user-defined record becomes a multi-line record. A multi-line record is a multi-instance record.
