### Parameters:

<Parameter name="limit" type={"usize"} optional={true}>

number of samples to return (maximum 720)

</Parameter>

### 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
- `numNonVoteTransaction: <u64>` - Number of non-vote transactions processed during the
  sample period.

:::info
`numNonVoteTransaction` is present starting with v1.15.

To get a number of voting transactions compute:<br />
`numTransactions - numNonVoteTransaction`
