Performance Counters Section

The performance counters section appears in a WCAT log when you run WCAT with the -p option. This log section displays data collected from the Performance Monitor counters on the server computer during the WCAT test. For more information on including performance counters in a WCAT test, see “Using Performance Monitor Counters in a WCAT Test,” later in this guide.

The performance counters section of the WCAT log consists of a table showing the average value of each counter collected during the test and the average value for that counter per page. WCAT calculates the values in the Avg per Page column by dividing the average value of a counter by the rate at which clients read pages. You can find this rate in the results section of the log file, in the Rate column of the Pages Read row.

The following example shows the first few rows of the performance counters section of a log file; in the example, the total processor utilization is 33 percent and the processor utilization per delivered page is 0.57 percent.
