performance counter custom provider

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I would like to provide statistics and integrate them with perfmon.msc/exe on XP
and above. Each application loads the DLL into which this event provider
resides. Is there a sample at the ready I can use? The platform SDK does provide
some, but I am not sure which is the most adequate. Here are some objectives:

  • low overhead, high performance
  • statistics per process or total
  • available at least on perfmon, even better with WMI so that powershell scripts
    can access the statistics.
  • should not require admin privileges to generate them
  • started with the computer, persistent after a process has exited. This one is
    a weak requirement,

Regards,
Calin

There are wmi examples on osronline for doing this. http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?id=95

Thanks, I’ll have a look. From what I see, everything is built on top of WMI.

You don’t have to use WMI, there is a way to create a performance dll that perfmon can call to retrieve information from your driver. I believe that it still supported… Essentially you have to create some registry information, a DLL, and learn how to make lodctrs.exe. Then if you stab yourself in the head with a plastic fork 2 or 3 hundred times it will start working…
