Perfmon is a Windows utility that helps the developer to find bottlenecks in his applications, by measuring system counters.

I was reading a perfmon tutorial and from this list of essential counters I have found the following ones on my machine:

PhysicalDisk\Bytes/sec_Total
Network Interface\Bytes Total/Sec\nic name

But I haven't found the following counters nowhere:

Processor\% Processor Time_Total
Process\Working Set_Total
Memory\Available MBytes

Where do I find them? Note that my Windows is pt-BR (instead of en-US). Where do I find language specific documentation for windows tools like PerfMon?
