Counters Overview
Interpreting Counter Values
The Measure performance monitor uses various types of counters to accumulate data. When
counters are displayed in a MEASCOM report, the value displayed is affected by the current
REPORT RATE and REPORT FORMAT attributes.
Counter Values Are Shown as...REPORT RATE Setting
Averages or percentages; specific interpretation depends on the counter type.ON
Raw data; no mathematical operations are performed on them.OFF
To create structured files of Measure data that other products, such as Enform, can access, use the
REPORT FORMAT STRUCTURED attribute. IF REPORT FORMAT is STRUCTURED, counter values
are written to the output file as raw data. REPORT FORMAT STRUCTURED is not affected by the
REPORT RATE setting.
NOTE: Counter descriptions in this section assume REPORT FORMAT NORMAL or BRIEF and
REPORT RATE OFF.
Measure scales displayed values to fit within 10 characters, including commas and periods. Units
for the formatted value are indicated by these symbols:
indicates decimal units of ones#
indicates decimal units of thousands (kilo)K
indicates decimal units of millions (mega)M
indicates decimal units of billions (giga)G
indicates decimal units of trillions (tera)T
For example, a megabyte would be displayed as 1048576 #.
