PerformanceCounter 详解，使用方法

这两天写代码控制CPU的占用率，显示为一条直线或者曲线，显示为一条直线的时候用到了PerformanceCounter 这个类。

 

由于对这个类还是很感兴趣的，在网上找了一些资料也不是很清楚。就自己研究了一下。

 

首先，PerformanceCounter 分为各个category, 每个category 对应不同类型的资源，一般有"Processor", "IPv6",什么的。。。下面有一个所有的类型的列表：

然后，每个类型下面对应多个实例，例如通过如下代码获得Processor的实例：

 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace PerformanceCounterTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            PerformanceCounterCategory[] pcc = PerformanceCounterCategory.GetCategories();
            for (int i = 0; i < pcc.Length; i++)
            {
                if (pcc[i].CategoryName=="Processor")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------");
                    Console.WriteLine(pcc[i].CategoryName);
                    Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------");
                    //Console.WriteLine(pcc[i].MachineName);
                    string[] instanceNames = pcc[i].GetInstanceNames();
                    for (int j = 0; j < instanceNames.Length; j++)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("**** Instance Name **********");
                        Console.WriteLine(instanceNames[j]);
                        //PerformanceCounter[] counters = pcc[i].GetCounters(instanceNames[j]);

                        //Console.WriteLine("**************************************************");
                        //Console.WriteLine("* counter name * ");
                        //for (int k = 0; k < counters.Length; k++)
                        //{
                        //    Console.WriteLine(counters[k].CounterName);
                        //}
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

输出结果为：

-----------------------------------
Processor
-----------------------------------
**** Instance Name **********
_Total
**** Instance Name **********
0
**** Instance Name **********
1
请按任意键继续. . .

 

在每个实例中，又对应多个计数器，这样就需要选择你需要的计数器了。

获得的Processor类别的_Total 实例，看看这个实例都包含什么计数器，上面代码注释的部门包括计数器的输出，结果为：

-----------------------------------
Processor
-----------------------------------
**** Instance Name **********
_Total
**************************************************
* counter name *
% Processor Time
% User Time
% Privileged Time
Interrupts/sec
% DPC Time
% Interrupt Time
DPCs Queued/sec
DPC Rate
% Idle Time
% C1 Time
% C2 Time
% C3 Time
C1 Transitions/sec
C2 Transitions/sec
C3 Transitions/sec
**** Instance Name **********
0
**************************************************
* counter name *
% Processor Time
% User Time
% Privileged Time
Interrupts/sec
% DPC Time
% Interrupt Time
DPCs Queued/sec
DPC Rate
% Idle Time
% C1 Time
% C2 Time
% C3 Time
C1 Transitions/sec
C2 Transitions/sec
C3 Transitions/sec
**** Instance Name **********
1
**************************************************
* counter name *
% Processor Time
% User Time
% Privileged Time
Interrupts/sec
% DPC Time
% Interrupt Time
DPCs Queued/sec
DPC Rate
% Idle Time
% C1 Time
% C2 Time
% C3 Time
C1 Transitions/sec
C2 Transitions/sec
C3 Transitions/sec
请按任意键继续. . .

 

这样，在使用 PerformanceCounter  的时候需要指定类别，实例名，计数器名。

 PerformanceCounter pc1 = new PerformanceCounter("Processor","% Processor Time","_Total");

然后通过pc1.NextValue() 获得相关计数器的值就可以了。
