I need assistance with a script to check performance on our servers such as
cpu, memory, disk and network.

I have been using some of the win32 classes below:



win32_perfrawdata_perfos_memory to get availableMbytes
win32_perfrawdata_perfos_processor to get processortime
win32_perfrawdata_perfos_disk to get disktime
win32_perfrawdata_perfdisk_physicaldisk to ge disktime
win32_perfrawdata_perfdisk_logicaldisk to get freespace
win32_perfrawdata_perfos_system to get systemuptime
win32_perfrawdata_termservice_terminalservicessession to get processor time
win32_perfrawdata_tcpip_nbtconnections to get bytes per second

When I use the above classes with get-wmiobject I can get values on
mentioned above properties, but it does not tell you much, you want to get a
sample of values, such as get a average value over a period of time such as
1 hour. How can I combine the above in a script which will give me the
average values I am looking for. Is there a script I can download which is
already setup for performance counters.

Also is it possible to to get average values for the last 7 days or maybe
setup a script which will take averages in the next 7 days.

In terms of the values I am looking for values which are readable such as
memory in available GB/MB but not with a long integer value which looks
confusing. Also other values as well which looks easy to understand like
processor time in % and freespace in GB and system uptime in days and hours.

Also there is a timestamp value as part of the properties of the classes
above, do you know what this means and how it can be used.

Sorry for the many questions, but I would really like to get a script setup
to get this required information.

At this point, I would suggest you consider looking at some other tool,
unless this is a pet project of yours.

If you do want to go down this route, you'll need to find some place to log
your data, whether it be a simple text file, Excel, Access or SQL Server.

Then you'll have to deal with data archiving/purging, and the logic you'll
want to use when averaging.

What you describe is a complex solution that could not be answered
here. Instead of that you should look for a tool that meets your
needs. PowerShell is capable to do that but it needs real coding.
For some ideas check my blog - http://www.leporelo.eu/blog.aspx?id=...-read-the-data
- it's a 4 parts series about collecting data from perf counters and
displaying them.
