6.5.1 Setting user-defined records for collecting 64-bit performance console counter information

To specify user-defined records for collecting 64-bit performance console counter information:

1. From the Windows Start menu, start the collection data addition utility.

2. From the tree area, select the Agent Store for the currently logged-in host, and in the list area, right-click the Agent Collector icon and choose PI_GI64/PD_GD64 Records Add/Confirm/Delete.

   The following shows the PI_GI64/PD_GD64 Record Settings dialog box.

   

3. From Object, select the data object to be collected.

   When a data object is selected, the data counter that can be set for the selected data object is displayed in Counter. Data instances (multi-instance objects) that can be set are displayed in Instance.

   If the selected object is a single-instance object, there is no data instance that can be set, and thus nothing is displayed in Instance.

   The data objects selected here are stored in the Object Name (OBJECT_NAME) field of a user-defined record.

4. From Counter, select the data counter to be collected.

   Multiple data counters can be selected and deselected by clicking with the Ctrl key pressed. When a data counter is selected, an explanation for the selected data counter is displayed in Counter.

   The data counter selected here is stored in the Counter Name (COUNTER_NAME) field of the user-defined record.

   Note that Counter displays only data counters that can be collected by the collection data addition utility. The data counters that can be collected by the collection data addition utility correspond to the performance counters listed below. For details about the relationship between data counters and performance counters, contact Microsoft Corporation.

5. From Instance, select the data instance to be collected.

   Multiple items displayed in Instance can be selected and deselected by clicking with the Ctrl key pressed. The data instance selected here is stored in the Instance (INSTANCE) field of the user-defined record.

   If no data instance is displayed, it means that there is no data instance that can be set. Proceed to step 6.

6. Select PI_GI64 or PD_GD64 in Record.

   Select PI_GI64 to collect performance values for PI_GI64 records.

   Select PD_GD64 to collect performance values for PD_GD64 records.

7. Click the Add button.

   The objects, counters, and instance information displayed in Counter-increment is reflected in Incremented Counter. The performance data reflected in Incremented Counter is set in the user record as a collection target.

8. To add more performance data to be collected to the user-defined record, repeat steps 3 through 7.

9. When finished, click the Close button.

   The PI_GI64/PD_GD64 Record Settings dialog box closes.
