Starting Perfmon on all Windows machines with a single Batch file
In one of our project we have more than 4 Windows servers. We use perfmon to monitor the resource utilization. Each time we run load test we start the perfmon on all the servers. So created the below batch file to do the job. The batch file does the below: Create a directory with current date and time Start perfmon on all 4 AR servers Wait for 1 hr Copy the result file (.csv) from each server into the director created in step1. Stop perfmon on all 4 AR servers. @echo off for /f %%I in ('wmic os get localdatetime ^|find "20"') do set dt=%%I REM dt format is now YYYYMMDDhhmmss... REM set dt=%dt:~4,2%-%dt:~2,2%-%dt:~0,4% set dt=%dt:~6,2%%dt:~4,2%%dt:~2,2%%dt:~8,2%%dt:~10,2% echo %dt% mkdir D:\Perfmon\Perfmon_%dt% logman start "Counter" -s server1 logman start "Counter" -s server2 logman start "Counter" -s server3 logman start "Counter" -s server4 timeout /t 3600 copy \\server1\c
