PowerShell script to publish metrics using the write_http format
The script has been tested on only one Windows 7 instance, no promises it is made, it will work on another instance.
- Continously monitors specified Windows performance counters and send updates to HTTP server using the collectd write_http format.
- Make sure PowerShell 4 is available on the system.
- Download and run as any other PowerShell script
The script accepts the following named parameters:
-User- username to be used when sending statistics-Token- password to be used when sending statistics-Url- the HTTP URL to send the statistics to-Interval- the sampling interval to be used
All other parameters passed to the script are considered to be the paths (names) of the performance counters. Their naming is not quite straight-forward, but they can be viewed in Windows Performance Monitor. Alternatively, PowerShell function Get-Counter to get list all available counters.
Here is an example command to execute the script:
./Collect-Metrics `
-User "me@acme.com" `
-Token password `
-Url https://collectd.librato.com/v1/measurements `
-Interval 60 `
"\Processor Information(_Total)\% Idle Time"`
"\Processor Information(_Total)\% Interrupt Time"`
"\Processor Information(_Total)\% Privileged Time"`
"\Processor Information(_Total)\% User Time"`
"\Memory\Available Bytes"`
"\Memory\Page Faults/sec"`
"\PhysicalDisk(1 C:)\Avg. Disk sec/Read"`
"\PhysicalDisk(1 C:)\Avg. Disk sec/Write"`
"\PhysicalDisk(1 C:)\Disk Read Bytes/sec"`
"\PhysicalDisk(1 C:)\Disk Write Bytes/sec"`
"\LogicalDisk(C:)\% Free Space"`
"\Network Interface(Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller)\Packets Received/sec"`
"\Network Interface(Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller)\Packets Sent/sec"`
"\Network Interface(Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller)\Bytes Received/sec"`
"\Network Interface(Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller)\Bytes Sent/sec"`
The command will send statistics about CPU usage, basic memory statistics, disk access times and read/write speed and the network packets and bytes.
