Event scenario
You are a server admin, and you are concerned about the processor performance of one particular server. You decide to use Windows PowerShell to create a CSV log file of all the counters in the Processor counter set. You decide to take the counter snapshot at two-second intervals for a total of ten snapshots. You plan to analyze the data in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. An acceptable output is shown in the figure that follows. Create the CSV file in the Documents special folder for the current logged-on user. The file name should be servername_processorCounters.csv.
Design points
- Make sure that you include all of the counters for all instances of the processor object.
- Make sure that the saved CSV file is readable from within Microsoft Excel.
- Make sure that you get the number of snapshots with the prescribed time between snapshots.
- This can be a “one liner” single logical command. Do not write complex, difficult-to-understand script because you will lose points.
