| Last time | perf: lastTime=<value> |
perf: lastTime<1ms |
Searches for performance trackers that have been updated in the last millisecond. |
| Peak | perf: peak=<value> |
perf: peak=0.5 |
Searches for performance trackers with a peak value of 0.5. |
| Sample count | perf: count=<value> |

| Total | perf: total=<value> |
perf: total=0.5 |

To match the unit the performance tracker logs, use different unit types with the filters. For example:
1ms, use avg>1ms.512kb, use avg<512kb.If you don’t specify the unit, the search returns trackers that report hits.
