Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_System class

The Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_System raw performance data class represents raw data counters that apply to more than one instance of a component processor on the computer.

This class represents the System object in System Monitor. The original data source is the PerfOS performance library. The corresponding formatted data class is Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System. Data is dynamically provided for this class from the performance library object by the WmiPerfInst provider.

Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000: WMI data for this class is supplied by the Performance Counter Provider.

The following syntax is simplified from MOF code and shows all inherited properties, including the Frequency and Timestamp properties required for class display in System Monitor. For more information about required property qualifiers, see Property Qualifiers for Performance Counter Classes. For more information about CounterType values, see WMI Performance Counter Types.

Properties

Properties

The Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_System class has these properties.

AlignmentFixupsPerSec

Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Alignment Fixups/sec") , CounterType (272696320) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (400)

Rate of alignment faults fixed by the system. This property displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.

Caption

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Short textual description for the statistic or metric. This property is inherited from CIM_StatisticalInformation.

ContextSwitchesPerSec

Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Context Switches/sec") , CounterType (272696320) , DefaultScale (-2) , PerfDetail (200)

Rate of switches from one thread to another. Thread switches can occur either inside of a single process or across processes. A thread switch can be caused either by one thread asking another for information, or by a thread being preempted by another, higher priority thread becoming ready to run. The operating system uses process boundaries for subsystem protection in addition to the traditional protection of user and privileged modes. These subsystem processes provide additional protection. Therefore, some work done by the operating system on behalf of an application appears in other subsystem processes in addition to the privileged time in the application. Switching to the subsystem process causes one context switch in the application thread. Switching back causes another context switch in the subsystem thread.

Description

Data type: string
Access type: Read-only

Textual description of the statistic or metric. This property is inherited from CIM_StatisticalInformation.

ExceptionDispatchesPerSec

Data type: uint32
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("Exception Dispatches/sec") , CounterType (272696320) , DefaultScale (0) , PerfDetail (400)

Rate of exceptions dispatched by the system. This property displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.

FileControlBytesPerSec

Data type: uint64
Access type: Read-only
Qualifiers: DisplayName ("File Control Bytes/sec") , CounterType (272696576) , DefaultScale (-3) , PerfDetail (400)

Overall rate at which bytes are transferred for all file system operations that are neither read nor write operations, including file system control requests and requests for information about device characteristics or status. This property displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.

For more information about using uint64 values in scripts, see Scripting in WMI.

Combined rate of file system operations that are neither read nor write operations, such as file system control requests and requests for information about device characteristics or status. This property is the inverse of the FileDataOperationsPerSec property. This property displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.

FileDataOperationsPerSec
