Externalize Windows Performance Counters

The Windows Performance Counters feature has been removed from the NServiceBus NuGet package. It is now available as a separate NuGet package named NServiceBus.Metrics.PerformanceCounters. The new package should be used to write to performance counters when using NServiceBus Versions 6.2 and above.

Changed APIs

The NServiceBus Performance Counter APIs have been marked as obsolete and have one-for-one equivalents in the new NServiceBus.Metrics.PerformanceCounters package.

Enabling Critical Time Counter

// For NServiceBus version 6.x
endpointConfiguration.EnableCriticalTimePerformanceCounter();

// For Performance Counters version 1.x
var performanceCounters = endpointConfiguration.EnableWindowsPerformanceCounters();

Enabling SLA Counter

// For NServiceBus version 6.x
endpointConfiguration.EnableSLAPerformanceCounter(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3));

// For Performance Counters version 1.x
var performanceCounters = endpointConfiguration.EnableWindowsPerformanceCounters();
performanceCounters.EnableSLAPerformanceCounters(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(3));

Compatibility

The NServiceBus.Metrics.PerformanceCounters package is fully compatible with endpoints that use the NServiceBus package's Performance Counters functionality.
