Metrics

Name	Description	Type	Labels
windows_terminal_services_local_session_count	Number of local Terminal Services sessions.	gauge	session
windows_terminal_services_connection_broker_performance_total*	The total number of connections handled by the Connection Brokers since the service started.	counter	connection
windows_terminal_services_handle_count	Total number of handles currently opened by this process. This number is the sum of the handles currently opened by each thread in this process.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_page_fault_total	Rate at which page faults occur in the threads executing in this process. A page fault occurs when a thread refers to a virtual memory page that is not in its working set in main memory. The page may not be retrieved from disk if it is on the standby list and therefore already in main memory. The page also may not be retrieved if it is in use by another process which shares the page.	counter	session_name
windows_terminal_services_page_file_bytes	Current number of bytes this process has used in the paging file(s). Paging files are used to store pages of memory used by the process that are not contained in other files. Paging files are shared by all processes, and lack of space in paging files can prevent other processes from allocating memory.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_page_file_bytes_peak	Maximum number of bytes this process has used in the paging file(s). Paging files are used to store pages of memory used by the process that are not contained in other files. Paging files are shared by all processes, and lack of space in paging files can prevent other processes from allocating memory.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_privileged_time_seconds_total	total elapsed time that the threads of the process have spent executing code in privileged mode.	Counter	session_name
windows_terminal_services_processor_time_seconds_total	total elapsed time that all of the threads of this process used the processor to execute instructions.	Counter	session_name
windows_terminal_services_user_time_seconds_total	total elapsed time that this process's threads have spent executing code in user mode. Applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems execute in user mode.	Counter	session_name
windows_terminal_services_pool_non_paged_bytes	Number of bytes in the non-paged pool, an area of system memory (physical memory used by the operating system) for objects that cannot be written to disk, but must remain in physical memory as long as they are allocated. This property displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_pool_paged_bytes	Number of bytes in the paged pool, an area of system memory (physical memory used by the operating system) for objects that can be written to disk when they are not being used. This property displays the last observed value only; it is not an average.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_private_bytes	Current number of bytes this process has allocated that cannot be shared with other processes.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_thread_count	Number of threads currently active in this process. An instruction is the basic unit of execution in a processor, and a thread is the object that executes instructions. Every running process has at least one thread.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_virtual_bytes	Current size, in bytes, of the virtual address space the process is using. Use of virtual address space does not necessarily imply corresponding use of either disk or main memory pages. Virtual space is finite and, by using too much, the process can limit its ability to load libraries.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_virtual_bytes_peak	Maximum number of bytes of virtual address space the process has used at any one time. Use of virtual address space does not necessarily imply corresponding use of either disk or main memory pages. Virtual space is finite and, by using too much, the process might limit its ability to load libraries.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_working_set_bytes	Current number of bytes in the working set of this process. The working set is the set of memory pages touched recently by the threads in the process. If free memory in the computer is above a threshold, pages are left in the working set of a process even if they are not in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from working sets. If they are needed, they are then soft-faulted back into the working set before they leave main memory.	gauge	session_name
windows_terminal_services_working_set_bytes_peak	Maximum number of bytes in the working set of this process at any point in time. The working set is the set of memory pages touched recently by the threads in the process. If free memory in the computer is above a threshold, pages are left in the working set of a process even if they are not in use. When free memory falls below a threshold, pages are trimmed from working sets. If they are needed, they are then soft-faulted back into the working set before they leave main memory.	gauge	session_name

* windows_terminal_services_connection_broker_performance_total only collected if server has Remote Desktop Connection Broker role.
