_Total |
Description
Specifies an alternate name for the _Total instance in performance tools, such as System Monitor.
The _Total instance represents the sum of values for all other instances of a performance object. For example, the _Total instance of Logical Disk: % Disk Time represents the sum of active time for all logical partitions on the computer. You can use this entry to change the name of the _Total instance as it appears in your performance tools.
This entry does not exist in the registry by default. You can add it by using the registry editor Regedit.exe.
Activation Method
To make changes to this entry effective, restart Windows.
Tip
- If particular performance counters do not appear in your performance monitoring tool, check the Application Log in Event Viewer for events recorded by Perflib. When Perflib detects disabling errors in a counter dynamic-link library (DLL), it records an event in the log. Then it sets the value of Disable Performance Counters to 1 to disable the counters.
