How to Monitor Windows Server VPS Performance Using PowerShell

In a Windows Server VPS environment, performance monitoring is one of the most critical tasks to ensure server stability and resource efficiency. With PowerShell, you can generate accurate reports about CPU, RAM, and Disk usage, and even automate data collection and schedule periodic reports.

 

 

PowerShell Commands for Monitoring CPU

One of the most powerful commands for monitoring CPU is Get-Counter. For example:

 
Get-Counter "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time"

This displays the processor usage at execution time. To get a more detailed analysis with intervals:

 
Get-Counter "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time" -SampleInterval 1 -MaxSamples 10

To calculate the average CPU usage over 3 minutes:

 
$cpuUtil = (Get-Counter -Counter "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time" -SampleInterval 1 -MaxSamples 180 | Select -ExpandProperty CounterSamples | Select -ExpandProperty CookedValue | Measure-Object -Average).Average

PowerShell Commands for Monitoring RAM

To check RAM usage percentage:

 
$OS = Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem $ramUsage = (100 - ($OS.FreePhysicalMemory / $OS.TotalVisibleMemorySize) * 100) Write-Host "RAM Usage: $ramUsage %"

Or display available memory directly:

 
(Get-Counter '\Memory\Available MBytes').CounterSamples.CookedValue

To find the most memory-consuming processes:

 
Get-Process | Sort-Object -Descending WS | Select-Object ProcessName, @{Name="Mem Usage(MB)";Expression={[math]::round($_.WS / 1MB)}} | Format-Table

PowerShell Commands for Monitoring Disk

To check used and free disk space:

 
Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk | Select-Object DeviceID, VolumeName, @{Name="Size(GB)";Expression={[math]::Round($_.Size/1GB,2)}}, @{Name="FreeSpace(GB)";Expression={[math]::Round($_.FreeSpace/1GB,2)}}, @{Name="UsedSpace(GB)";Expression={[math]::Round(($_.Size - $_.FreeSpace)/1GB,2)}}, @{Name="PercentFree";Expression={[math]::Round(($_.FreeSpace / $_.Size) * 100,2)}}

This script provides a detailed report of total capacity, free space, and used space for each disk.

Automated Script for Reports

You can create a script that collects CPU, RAM, and Disk data and exports results into CSV or HTML reports. Example:

 
$counters = @( '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time', '\Memory\Available MBytes', '\PhysicalDisk(*)\% Disk Time' ) $performanceData = Get-Counter -Counter $counters -SampleInterval 5 -MaxSamples 12 $performanceData | Export-Csv -Path "C:\PerfLogs\VPS_Performance.csv" -NoTypeInformation

For an HTML formatted report:

 
$html = "

VPS Performance Report

" foreach ($sample in $performanceData.CounterSamples) { $html += "" } $html += "
$($sample.Path) $($sample.CookedValue)
" $html | Out-File "C:\PerfLogs\VPS_Report.html"

Scheduling Reports with Task Scheduler

To generate reports automatically on a daily or hourly basis:

  1. Open Task Scheduler.

  2. Create a new task named VPS Performance Report.

  3. Choose recurrence (daily/hourly).

  4. In Action, set:

    • Program/script: powershell.exe

    • Add arguments:

       
      -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Path\To\Report.ps1"

With PowerShell, you can fully monitor Windows Server VPS performance, from CPU, RAM, and Disk usage to generating automated scheduled reports. These steps help ensure high performance and minimize issues before they occur.
