Good Morning!

Anyone know what all those cntr_type values in the master sysperfinfo table mean? I want to do some custom things with performance data and I need to know *what* is counted in the fields. Is it per second / absolute / what unit...

I guess that 65536 means an absolute value. But what about the others?

Thanks!

Daniel

cntr_type int Type of counter as defined by the Windows NT 4.0 performance architecture.

You want to search for WMI Performance Counters (Watch out for .NET performace architecutre for VB and C#. It's not the same thing)

For an explanation of types and links to additional info, see:
