+===============
+ Perf counters
+===============
+
+The perf counters provide generic internal infrastructure for gauges and counters.  The counted values can be both integer and float.  There is also an "average" type (normally float) that combines a sum and num counter which can be divided to provide an average.
+
+The intention is that this data will be collected and aggregated by a tool like ``collectd`` or ``statsd`` and fed into a tool like ``graphite`` for graphing and analysis.  Also, note the :doc:`../mgr/prometheus`.
+
+Access
+------
+
+The perf counter data is accessed via the admin socket.  For example::
+
+   ceph daemon osd.0 perf schema
+   ceph daemon osd.0 perf dump
+
+
+Collections
+-----------
+
+The values are grouped into named collections, normally representing a subsystem or an instance of a subsystem.  For example, the internal ``throttle`` mechanism reports statistics on how it is throttling, and each instance is named something like::
+
+
+    throttle-msgr_dispatch_throttler-hbserver
+    throttle-msgr_dispatch_throttler-client
+    throttle-filestore_bytes
+    ...
+
+
+Schema
+------
+
+The ``perf schema`` command dumps a json description of which values are available, and what their type is.  Each named value as a ``type`` bitfield, with the following bits defined.
+
++------+-------------------------------------+
+| bit  | meaning                             |
++======+=====================================+
+| 1    | floating point value                |
++------+-------------------------------------+
+| 2    | unsigned 64-bit integer value       |
++------+-------------------------------------+
+| 4    | average (sum + count pair), where   |
++------+-------------------------------------+
+| 8    | counter (vs gauge)                  |
++------+-------------------------------------+
+
+Every value will have either bit 1 or 2 set to indicate the type
+(float or integer).
+
+If bit 8 is set (counter), the value is monotonically increasing and
+the reader may want to subtract off the previously read value to get
+the delta during the previous interval.
+
+If bit 4 is set (average), there will be two values to read, a sum and
+a count.  If it is a counter, the average for the previous interval
+would be sum delta (since the previous read) divided by the count
+delta.  Alternatively, dividing the values outright would provide the
+lifetime average value.  Normally these are used to measure latencies
+(number of requests and a sum of request latencies), and the average
+for the previous interval is what is interesting.
+
+Instead of interpreting the bit fields, the ``metric type`` has a
+value of either ``guage`` or ``counter``, and the ``value type``
+property will be one of ``real``, ``integer``, ``real-integer-pair``
+(for a sum + real count pair), or ``integer-integer-pair`` (for a
+sum + integer count pair).
+
+Here is an example of the schema output::

+Dump
+----
+
+The actual dump is similar to the schema, except that average values are grouped.  For example::
+
+ {
+   "throttle-msgr_dispatch_throttler-hbserver" : {
+      "get_or_fail_fail" : 0,
+      "get_sum" : 0,
+      "max" : 104857600,
+      "put" : 0,
+      "val" : 0,
+      "take" : 0,
+      "get_or_fail_success" : 0,
+      "wait" : {
+         "avgcount" : 0,
+         "sum" : 0
+      },
+      "get" : 0,
+      "take_sum" : 0,
+      "put_sum" : 0
+   },
+   "throttle-msgr_dispatch_throttler-client" : {
+      "get_or_fail_fail" : 0,
+      "get_sum" : 82760,
+      "max" : 104857600,
+      "put" : 2637,
+      "val" : 0,
+      "take" : 0,
+      "get_or_fail_success" : 0,
+      "wait" : {
+         "avgcount" : 0,
+         "sum" : 0
+      },
+      "get" : 2637,
+      "take_sum" : 0,
+      "put_sum" : 82760
