Enums

enum counter_type

Values:

text

text shows a variable-length text string. It does not deliver calculated values.

Formula: None Average: None Type: Text

raw

raw shows the last observed value only. It does not deliver an average.

Formula: None. Shows raw data as collected. Average: None Type: Instantaneous

monotonically_increasing

monotonically_increasing shows the cumulatively accumulated observed value. It does not deliver an average.

Formula: None. Shows cumulatively accumulated data as collected. Average: None Type: Instantaneous

average_base

average_base is used as the base data (denominator) in the computation of time or count averages for the counter_type::average_count and counter_type::average_timer counter types. This counter type collects the last observed value only.

Formula: None. This counter uses raw data in factional calculations without delivering an output. Average: SUM (N) / x Type: Instantaneous

average_count

average_count shows how many items are processed, on average, during an operation. Counters of this type display a ratio of the items processed (such as bytes sent) to the number of operations completed. The ratio is calculated by comparing the number of items processed during the last interval to the number of operations completed during the last interval.

Formula: (N1 - N0) / (D1 - D0), where the numerator (N) represents the number of items processed during the last sample interval, and the denominator (D) represents the number of operations completed during the last two sample intervals. Average: (Nx - N0) / (Dx - D0) Type: Average

aggregating

aggregating applies a function to an embedded counter instance. The embedded counter is usually evaluated repeatedly after a fixed (but configurable) time interval.

Formula: F(Nx)

average_timer

average_timer measures the average time it takes to complete a process or operation. Counters of this type display a ratio of the total elapsed time of the sample interval to the number of processes or operations completed during that time. This counter type measures time in ticks of the system clock. The variable F represents the number of ticks per second. The value of F is factored into the equation so that the result is displayed in seconds.

Formula: ((N1 - N0) / F) / (D1 - D0), where the numerator (N) represents the number of ticks counted during the last sample interval, the variable F represents the frequency of the ticks, and the denominator (D) represents the number of operations completed during the last sample interval. Average: ((Nx - N0) / F) / (Dx - D0) Type: Average

elapsed_time

elapsed_time shows the total time between when the component or process started and the time when this value is calculated. The variable F represents the number of time units that elapse in one second. The value of F is factored into the equation so that the result is displayed in seconds.

Formula: (D0 - N0) / F, where the nominator (D) represents the current time, the numerator (N) represents the time the object was started, and the variable F represents the number of time units that elapse in one second. Average: (Dx - N0) / F Type: Difference

histogram

histogram exposes a histogram of the measured values instead of a single value as many of the other counter types. Counters of this type expose a counter_value_array instead of a counter_value. Those will also not implement the get_counter_value() functionality. The results are exposed through a separate get_counter_values_array() function.

The first three values in the returned array represent the lower and upper boundaries, and the size of the histogram buckets. All remaining values in the returned array represent the number of measurements for each of the buckets in the histogram.

raw_values

raw_values exposes an array of measured values instead of a single value as many of the other counter types. Counters of this type expose a counter_value_array instead of a counter_value. Those will also not implement the get_counter_value() functionality. The results are exposed through a separate get_counter_values_array() function.
