Specifies the performance counters to query and the log file to which the counter data is written.

To create this data collector, call the IDataCollectorCollection::CreateDataCollector or IDataCollectorCollection::CreateDataCollectorFromXml method. For details on the XML that you pass to CreateDataCollectorFromXml, see Remarks.

Members

The IPerformanceCounterDataCollector interface inherits from IDataCollector. IPerformanceCounterDataCollector also has these types of members:

• Properties

Properties

The IPerformanceCounterDataCollector interface has these properties.

Remarks

The following example shows the XML that you can use to initialize this object if you call CreateDataCollectorFromXml to create it. The IDataCollector::Xml property also returns this XML.

<PerformanceCounterDataCollector>
    <DataSourceName/>
    <Counter/>             <!-- Specify this element for each counter -->
    <CounterDisplayName/>  <!-- Read-only. Contains the contents of -->
                           <!-- <PerformanceCounter/> in the user's locale -->
    <LogFileFormat/>
    <SampleInterval/>
    <SegmentMaxRecords/>
</PerformanceCounterDataCollector>

Note that the example does not show the property elements inherited from IDataCollector that you also need to specify.

When you specify the XML to create the collector, you can specify only the elements for the properties that you want to set. If you do not specify a property, PLA provides a default value. When you retrieve the XML for the collector, the XML provides all elements, including those from IDataCollector.
