Logical Processor \% DPC Time Windows Server 2016 and above

Microsoft.Windows.Server.10.0.LogicalProcessor.PercentDPCTime.Collection (Rule)

Collects the performance counter Processor\\% DPC Time

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects performance data for the Processor\% DPC Time performance counter of Logical Processor.

The Processor\% DPC Time performance counter exposes the percentage of time that the logical processor spent receiving and servicing deferred procedure calls (DPCs) during the sample interval. DPCs are interrupts that run at a lower priority than standard interrupts. % DPC Time is a component of % Privileged Time because DPCs are executed in privileged mode. They are counted separately and are not a component of the interrupt counters. This counter displays the average busy time as a percentage of the sample time.
