Noncomputational Counter Types
Noncomputational counter types do not have an associated formula. The raw value is directly meaningful.
The FilesToBeIndexed property in the Win32_PerfRawData_ContentIndex_IndexingService class is an example of the PERF_COUNTER_RAWCOUNT counter type. It contains a count of files that have not been indexed.
Counter types are designated by the constant defined in Winperf.h located in the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). The following table lists the noncomputational counter types that are provided.
