Collect .NET Statistic/Performance Events/sec

Microsoft.SystemCenter.Apm.Transaction.CollectPerformanceEvents (Rule)

Collects .NET Statistic/Performance Events/sec performance counter

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects .NET Statistic # of Performance violations/sec performance counter for transactions.

This counter records the rate of performance events generated by a transaction. The number of events recorded by this counter is based on information, such as the agent configuration, threshold levels, and enabled namespaces. This counter might be larger than the rate of performance events reported to Application Diagnostic console, because it also includes events that are suppressed by Event Throttling.

This counter is only available when application performance monitoring is enabled.

Excessively long database calls might be due to either a problem with the server or with the structure and complexity of the query. Long file I/O times might be due to problems with the file server. Web Services performance issues might occur because the Web Service or the server it resides on is down or there is a problem in the Web Service code. Long internal execution times for applications might result from complex or inefficient code.
