Specify the Counters to Be Sampled

You can specify all counters or as few as a single instance of a counter.

Use these parameters with admin stats to specify the counters:

sysmon – samples all counters marked by Sybase as most important to performance and tuning. This is the default value.
To view a list of the sysmon counters, enter:
```
rs_helpcounter sysmon
```
"all" – samples all counters.
module_name – samples all counters for a particular module.
module_name, display_name – samples all instances of a particular counter. Use sp_helpcounter for a list of counters.
module_name, display_name, instance_id – samples a particular instance of a counter. To find the numeric ID for an instance, execute admin_who and see the Info column.

Note: If the instance ID is specified and the module is either SQT or SQM, you can specify whether you want information supplied by the inbound or outbound queue for the counter instance.

For example, to collect statistics for the sysmon counters for one second and send the information to the computer screen, enter:

admin stats, sysmon, display, 1
