Mono Performance Counter Monitor

## NAME

mperfmon - Mono Performance Counter Monitor

## SYNOPSIS

**mperfmon** \[--config=FILE\] \[--report=REPORT\_NAME\] \[--count=NUM\] \[pid\]

## OPTIONS

- *--config=FILE*

  Specifies the configuration file to load instead of the default one installed in the same directory as the app.

- *--report=REPORT\_NAME*

  Instead of showing the GUI, run in console mode and print a report of the set of counters specified by REPORT\_NAME and described in the config file. The report is printed for up to the number of times specified with the --count option. The *pid* argument is used as the instance name in the performance counters, it is typically the pid of a mono process.

- *--count=NUM*

  Sets the number of times a report is printed in console mode. The default is 2.

## DESCRIPTION

mperfmon is a tool that allows you to monitor performance counters exposed by Mono processes or by the operating system. With the --report option it can be used on the console, otherwise a GUI is started. In GUI mode each counter added is monitored at user-specified time intervals (the default is 1 second) and it is shown in a graph as it changes over time.
