Perfmon automation?

[Blake Mengotto]

I have been collecting daily disk performance on several E2K3 servers using perfmon. I have to select the time range, look at each disk, and enter into a spreadsheet the avg and max value for disk read/write/queue.

I'm wondering if there is some way I can automate this. The manual method is just to time consuming and I have been doing this for about 3 months now. Any way to automate this?

Blake,
Its easy using python, search for win32pdh
Or @ http://www.python.org/windows/win32/win32pdhquery_tutorial.html
I guess it can be done also using vb scripting however i'm not familiar
with that.
Good luck,
Paul

You might also want to take a look at MOM for monitoring and compiling reports...

LOL. Well the MOM disk reports that are avail now are not very good. I would have to set up some sort of new perf rule that would measure only the disks I wanted, then I would have to create a custom report in Access to get this information. That's more troublesome for me. I tried the tool the other person mentioned but I couldn't get it to work on my XP workstation. I launch it and nothing ever happens.. I have to read up on the app and see what I'm doing wrong.
