5.4.1. Initially Enabling Intel® Dialogic Performance Counters - Windows NT

To use the Intel® Dialogic performance counters, you must include them when you install the Intel® Dialogic System Software by selecting either the Complete or Custom install option. (Performance Counters for Win NT Perf. Monitor should already be selected on the Custom Component Selection screen.)

When the installation is complete and you have rebooted the system, perform the following steps:

1. Invoke the Windows command line.
2. Make the current directory <Install Directory>\Dialogic\Bin.
3. Execute perfcctl.exe.
4. Check the Enabled box.
5. Start the Intel Dialogic System.

   For information about starting and stopping the Intel Dialogic System, see Section 5.1, Starting and Stopping the Intel® Dialogic System.

6. Click Performance Monitor from the Administrative Tools (Common) program group.

   The Performance Monitor's main window appears.

7. Click Add To Chart from the Edit menu.

   The Add to Chart dialog box appears.

8. Select DlgcSram from the Object drop-down list.
9. Highlight the counter(s) you want to monitor from the Counter list. The counters are:
   • Interrupts/sec: rate of device's interrupts to the driver per second
   • Driver Commands/sec: rate of commands to the driver per second
   • Firmware Commands/sec: rate of commands to the board(s) per second
   • Bytes Written/sec: rate of bytes written to the board(s) per second
   • Bytes Read/sec: rate of bytes read from the board(s) per second
   • Total Bytes Transferred/sec: rate of bytes transferred to and from the board(s) per second
   • Total Bytes of Record Data Lost: total number of bytes of data lost whenever there was some data ("recorded" data) read from the SRAM but no pending read request.
   • Busy Waits/sec: rate at which the driver waits for firmware to respond per second
   • Record Overflows: number of times the firmware sent a data packet (through the DL_BOFULL/DL_B1FULL interrupt) but there was no read request pending from the user. In this case, this data packet is lost and there is no way for the data to be recovered.
10. Click Add to add the selected counter(s) to the Performance Monitor chart.
11. Click Done to exit the Add to Chart dialog box.
