How to get % Physical used Memory with Graphite-PowerShell ?

[toni-moreno]

Hi @MattHodge . I'm working with this wonderful tool and we are getting these memory counters.

        <Counter Name="\Memory\Available MBytes" /> 
        <Counter Name="\Memory\Pages/sec" />
        <Counter Name="\Memory\Pages Input/sec" /> 

But we also need the % physical used memory . In this case we can compute the value if either of those values could be obtained.

• % physical used memory.
• % physical Available memory.
• Total amount of physical Memory in Mb/Kb/Bytes.
• used amount phisical memory Mb/Kb/Bytes

There is any counter matching these values? There any workaround to get these values from other scripts like perhaps this other( https://github.com/pdxcat/PowerShell-Graphite/blob/master/Get-MemStats.ps1)

Hi, you can lookup all counters with (Get-Counter -ListSet *).paths And to get some Value from it to evaluate use this get-counter "\Memory\% Committed Bytes In Use" -SampleInterval 2
