Checking memory usage
Posted on 2012-12-28
HI
I have a Windows 2008 Server, 64bit, with 4GB RAM. I want to ensure that we don't need anymore so I was thinking of using some sort of Perfmon counter so that I could view if free memory was ever that low.
Could someone expand on the best way to do this?
On a longer term note, is there some sort of SCOM alert that could generate an email when free memory was running low?

you can configure a performance counter data collector set for specified value & configure alert type to start a task. Task may be a script to send email

In terms of which counters to use for my memory issue, do you have any advise?

You can consider only the memory section:
Object\Counter Preferred or Ideal Value
Memory\Pages/sec 0–20. (Unhealthy if greater than 80; probably indicates not enough RAM.)
Memory\Available Bytes 10% of physical memory.
Memory\Committed Bytes No more than 75 percent of physical memory.
Memory\Pool Nonpaged Bytes A steady value. (A slow rise might indicate a memory leak.)
