Thanks Tim!
Great! I have found that you are correct, the scale value of the scale
column in my environment is,
Virtual Bytes: 0.0000010, and Working Set: 0.0000100, and also I set
Properties --> Graph --> Scale --> Max: 10000, Min 0.
I have read your previous post, especially this one,
--------------------
Think about the issue here. Some of the numbers perfmon displays are very
small (like from 0 to 1). Some of them are percentages (0 to 100). Some
of them are bytes per second (0 to 10,000,000). Some of them are total
memory bytes (0 to 2,000,000,000). How do you put all of those numbers on
a single graph with a single Y axis?
The answer is that *EACH* measurement that perfmon can graph has its own
scale factor. Percentages have a scale factor of 1, so that a value of 95%
shows up at 95 on the graph. Working set has a scale factor of 0.000 01,
so that 9,500,000 shows up at 95 on the graph. Virtual bytes has a scale
factor of 0.000 001, so that 95,000,000 shows up at 95 on the graph.
--------------------
But I am still confused how you calculate from individual counter scale
column, graph scale value and displayed value to real counter value in bytes?
Could you give a formula please? :-)
regards,
George
