Use System attributes to monitor total count information for all processors on a system. This information represents overall system activity. System is a single-instance attribute group.
% Total Privileged Time The total percentage of elapsed time a system has been busy executing instructions in privileged mode.
Note that this attribute is not available on systems running Windows 2000 or higher. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 100 (expressing a percentage) and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 85% of the total privileged time, enter 85.

Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 4,533 for the number of bytes the system transferred per second, enter 4533.
File Read Operations/Sec The total number of file read operations the system has executed per second. Valid values are positive integers in the range 0 to 2147483647 and can include the use of the *AVG, *MIN, *MAX, or *SUM functions. For example, to express 223 for the number of file read operations the system has executed per second, enter 223.
