Result #

An array of RpcPerfSample<object> with the following fields:

  • slot: <u64> - Slot in which sample was taken at
  • numTransactions: <u64> - Number of transactions processed during the sample period
  • numSlots: <u64> - Number of slots completed during the sample period
  • samplePeriodSecs: <u16> - Number of seconds in a sample window
  • numNonVoteTransactions: <u64> - Number of non-vote transactions processed during the sample period.

numTransactions - numNonVoteTransactions
