PerfMon: Where are my counters?
-
If you visit ‘Add Counter’ window in (WinXP) perfmon and select the ‘Memory’ performance object, you see several counters in the list below. Available bytes, Cache bytes and so on. But for some reason my machine (WinXP) shows only one counter in this section. It happens to be ‘Available Mbytes’, only one entry. I have no idea where the others have gone. :( I need to restore the default counters for ‘Memory’ performance object because I am working on a project which reads values of some of the counters I mentioned above. The code always fails on machine throwing an exception ‘instance name xxx is not valid for this counter category’ Can somebody help regarding what I can do to restore default performance counters? :confused: Salil Khedkar [^]

it's not a programming question, no need to shout (or if you're just ranting :P you missed the soapbox by an inch :P ) unfortunately I do not have the answer for the original poster

Err, it is not a programming question. It is more like where does windows store this and this information. I am trying in the OS board too, but too little traffic there... :( Salil Khedkar [^]

Take a look here about three fourths the way down the page at “Objects, counters, or instances seem to be missing or invalid”. Chapter 27 - Overview of Performance Monitoring[^]

This seems like one of those programs that started small, grew incrementally, building internal pressure, and finally barfed all over its source code sneakers. Or something.

The link had excellent info, thanks man. :rose: I tried out a few things and while I learnt a lot from the exercise, I could not solve the problem. As the time is short I will just go ahead and re-install XP. Salil Khedkar [^]
