Win32PerfFormattedData
Win32PerfFormattedData is a namespace used by Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to expose real‑time performance data from a system. The namespace contains a series of classes whose names begin with Win32_PerfFormattedData_ followed by the name of a collector set or performance object. For example, Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor holds formatted data for processor performance counters, while Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfDisk_LogicalDisk stores data for logical disk counters.
Each class represents a snapshot of performance counters that are formatted for easy consumption by client
To query Win32PerfFormattedData through WMI, a client typically uses a select statement such as:
SELECT * FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor WHERE Name = "_Total".
The query returns an object with properties corresponding to the available counters, for example, PercentProcessorTime, Throttling,
Because Win32PerfFormattedData classes expose only formatted values, they are read‑only. They cannot be used to set
Developers and system administrators use the Win32PerfFormattedData namespace to build custom monitoring solutions, embed performance checks
