Examining PCoIP Session

Statistics with WMI 4

You can use Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to examine performance statistics for a PCoIP

session by using any of the supported programming interfaces, including C#, C++, PowerShell, VBScript,

VB .NET, and Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC).

You can also use the Microsoft WMI Code Creator tool to generate VBScript, C#, and VB .NET code that

accesses the PCoIP performance counters. For more information about WMI, WMIC, and the WMI Code

Creator tool, go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742610.aspx and

Using PCoIP Session Statistics

The WMI namespace for the PCoIP session statistics is root\CIMV2. The names of the statistics are

suffixed with (Server) or (Client), according to whether the statistic is recorded on the PCoIP server

or PCoIP client.

You can use Windows Performance Monitor (PerfMon) with the counters to calculate averages over a

specified sampling period. You must have administrator privileges to access the performance counters

remotely.

All statistics are reset to 0 when a PCoIP session is closed. If the WMI SessionDurationSeconds

property is a non-zero value and stays constant, the PCoIP server was forcefully ended or crashed. If the

SessionDurationSeconds property changes from a non-zero value to 0, the PCoIP session is closed.
