Performance counters are modeled using the PerfCounterInfo data object type. Each instance of a PerfCounterInfo data object contains metadata about a specific metric available from the system. The storage path group of performance counters supports real-time performance metrics (such as latency and read- and write-speeds) for I/O operations on a storage path. |
