Performance Counters

PowerShell Universal
#1

We don’t use the MSI installer to install PSU, so i was wondering if it’s possible to install the performance counters without it?

Monitoring - PowerShell Universal

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 3.5.2
#2

Here’s the snippet from the installer.

<util:PerformanceCategory Id="Counters" Name="PowerShell Universal" MultiInstance="yes">
    <util:PerformanceCounter Name="Active Endpoints" Type="numberOfItems64" Help="Active number of executing endpoints."/>
    <util:PerformanceCounter Name="Execution Time" Type="averageTimer32" Help="Average execution time."/>
    <util:PerformanceCounter Name="Execution Time Base" Type="averageBase" Help="Average execution time base."/>
    <util:PerformanceCounter Name="Calls per second" Type="rateOfCountsPerSecond64" Help="Number of executions per second."/>
    <util:PerformanceCounter Name="Active Connections" Type="numberOfItems64" Help="Number of active connections to dashboards"/>
</util:PerformanceCategory>

We should probably provide a utility to do this outside of the installer.

I’ve opened an issue for creating some docs on how to do this: Create performance counters outside of MSI · Issue #1709 · ironmansoftware/issues · GitHub

Thanks Admin

To others that need to register the performance counter you can do it with “lodctr /M:”.
Just save the XML to PSU.XML and point the command at the file.
