Examples

Example 1: Get a counter sample from a data collector set

This command gets the performance sample for the collector named ContosoPerf and the counter path specified as C:\PerfLogs\Admin\ within a specified timeframe.

PS C:\> Get-SMCounterSample -CollectorName "ContosoPerf" -CounterPath "C:\PerfLogs\Admin\"-EndTime 12:00 -StartTime 11:00

Example 2: Get a counter sample at a specified time

This command gets the performance sample for the collector named ContosoPerf and the counter path named C:\PerfLogs\Admin\ at a specified time. The timestamp is an array of DateTime objects.

PS C:\> Get-SMCounterSample -CollectorName "ContosoPerf" -CounterPath "C:\PerfLogs\Admin\" -TimeStamp @(1,3,5,7)
