Using a vbscript for perfmon counters
I am looking to monitor a process on 6 servers, but only use the following counter:

Process(*)\Virtual Bytes

Looking for a script that will retrieve the value for this counter for each server, then write it to a log file.

Hi Rimmena,
Just so I know I've got the right process counter, can you just run the following script to check its returning the correct value, as there's several different process memory counters to choose from...
Once you've confirmed I have the right one I can modify it to check all your servers and output to a text file (or an on-screen prompt if that would be preferred)

This will list all current processes and the virtual memory they are using 
Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2") 
Set colObjects = objWMI.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Process")  
For Each Item in colObjects
	WScript.Echo Item.Name & " - " & Item.VirtualSize

Have run script with server names and it displays finished, but nothing is written to the log file. I commented out 'On Error Resume Next, but get no errors either ??

Thanks for the points - did you resolve the writing to the log file, or do you need me to take a look?

Yes I resolved it, the process name was case sensitive, thanks.
Avatar of ScottyworldScottyworld🇳🇿

You can get round the case sensitive bit by changing line 25 to:

If Lcase(Item.Name) = Lcase(strProcess) then

this will convert everything to lowercase before doing the comparison.
Just looking at some of my processes, it may be better to do this in case you ever run it against a different process in the future

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
