How to monitor Context Switches Persec for WMI Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System ?

With IPHost Network Monitor you can run WMI Context Switches Persec monitoring of various devices in your network.

To create a WMI monitor for Context Switches Persec, provide host name (it must be a Windows host) and specify custom WQL query:

SELECT ContextSwitchesPersec FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System

Context Switches/sec is the combined rate at which all processors on the computer are switched from one thread to another. Context switches occur when a running thread voluntarily relinquishes the processor, is preempted by a higher priority ready thread, or switches between user-mode and privileged (kernel) mode to use an Executive or subsystem service. It is the sum of Thread\\Context Switches/sec for all threads running on all processors in the computer and is measured in numbers of switches. There are context switch counters on the System and Thread objects. This counter displays the difference between the values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.

The System performance object consists of counters that apply to more than one instance of a component processors on the computer.
