People often ask what counters are. What do you normally measure in performance testing?
A lot of them think only response time is enough, but this is not the case. Here, I have stated the main counters that we track while load testing.
These are divided mainly into four types:

1. Processor Performance Counters. The Processor object is focused on the CPU of the system. In this category we track following things:
Processor : % Interrupt Time
Processor : % User Time
Processor : %Privilege Time
System : Processor Queue Length
System : System Calls/sec
2. Memory Performance Counters. In the category of memory object, we track following counters:
Memory : Available Memory
Memory : Page Faults/sec
Memory : Pages Input/sec
Memory : Pages Output/sec
Memory : Committed Bytes
3. Disk Performance Counters. The Disk Performance counters help to evaluate the performance of the disk subsystem. The disk subsystem includes disk controller card, the I/O bus of the system, and the disk.
PhysicalDisk : Current Disk Queue Length
PhysicalDisk : % Disk Time
PhysicalDisk : Disk Reads Bytes/sec
LogicalDisk : Disk Reads Bytes/sec
4. Network Performance Counters. In this we track the counters associated with the network interface, network segment, and TCP/IP components.
Network Interface : Bytes Sent/sec
Network Interface: Bytes Received/sec
Network Segment : %Broadcasts
Network Segment : %Multicasts
