Summary

The rule collects the Windows "Dusty corner scan retries/sec (GC-issued)" performance counter for the XTP engine's garbage collector.

The XTP Garbage Collection performance object contains counters related to the XTP engine's garbage collector.

Dusty corner scan retries/sec (GC-issued) - The number of scan retries due to write conflicts during dusty corner sweeps issued by the garbage collector (on average), per second. This is a very low-level counter, not intended for customer use.

Overridable Parameters
