    <p>I want to get specific informations about performance from Perfmon via Powershell and write it to a .csv file, using a script ran by another service. I know Powershell can give some interesting error message, thus I want to hear if any of you could discipher what exactly I'm doing wrong.</p> <p>The code I'm trying to make work seems like this:</p> <pre><code>$date = (Get-Date).ToShortDateString() Get-Counter $gc = @("\Memory\% Committed Bytes In Use", "\Memory\Available MBytes", "\Network Interface(*)\Current Bandwith", "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Recieved/sec", "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Sent/sec", "PhysicalDisk(_Total)\Disk Write Bytes/sec", "PhysicalDisk(_Total)\Disk Read Bytes/sec", "Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time", "Processor(_Total)\% Idle Time") Get-Counter -counter $gc -SampleInterval 2 -MaxSamples 8 | export-counter -path C:\PerfMon2-$date.csv -FileFormat csv </code></pre> <p>with an error like this:</p> <pre><code>Get-Counter : Internal performance counter API call failed. Error: c0000bb9. At C:\Users\jenstmar\Desktop\Nuværende Projekter\Perfmon.ps1:13 char:12 + Get-Counter &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt; -counter $gc -SampleInterval 2 -MaxSamples 1 | export-counter -path C:\PerfMon2-$date.csv -FileFormat cs v + CategoryInfo : InvalidResult: (:) [Get-Counter], Exception + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CounterApiError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetCounterCommand </code></pre> <p>Yet, if I choose performance counter categories instead of specifics, it works. An example would be this:</p> <pre><code>$date = (Get-Date).ToShortDateString() Get-counter $gc = (Get-Counter -listset "Network Interface").paths $gc += (Get-Counter -listset "Processor").paths $gc += (Get-Counter -ListSet "Processor Information").paths $gc += (Get-Counter -listSet "memory").paths $gc += (Get-Counter -listSet "PhysicalDisk").paths get-counter -counter $gc -SampleInterval 2 -MaxSamples 8 | export-counter -path C:\PerfMon-$date.csv -FileFormat csv </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
