Monitor Cache Server Counters
Get-CacheServerStatistics cmdlet displays the statistics of the specified cache. It displays a list of performance counters by default which can be extended by a list of custom counters. It helps you save the counters in a .CSV file which can be opened in Microsoft Excel. Moreover, the .CSV file can be converted to .BLG format for viewing counters in Performance Monitor.
Get-CacheServerStatistics [-CacheName] [-Servers] [-CounterNames] [-DoNotShowDefaultCounters] [-Continuous] [-Format] [-SampleInterval] [-MaxSamples] [-NoLogo]
These properties are explained in detail in the Properties section.
Examples
- The following command displays the default counters of the server for demoCache from the default node.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache
- The following command displays the default counters for the cache demoCache from the client nodes 20.200.20.39 and 20.200.20.40.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache -Servers "20.200.20.39,20.200.20.40"
- The following command displays the specified counters for demoCache and does not display the default counters.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache -DoNotShowDefaultCounters -CounterNames "List Count"
- The following command displays the default counters and specified counters of the cache demoCache.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache -CounterNames "Compression/sec"
- The following command displays the default counters for the cache demoCache continuously after every default sample interval.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache -Continuous
- The following command gets default counters for the cache demoCache continuously after every 3-second interval.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache -Continuous -SampleInterval 3
- The following command gets default counters and specified counters for cache demoCache continuously after every 3-second interval and displays output in .CSV format.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache -Continuous -SampleInterval 3 -Format csv
- The following command gets default counters and specified counters for the cache demoCache continuously after every 3 seconds and saves the output in .CSV file at the path provided.
Get-CacheServerStatistics -CacheName demoCache -Continuous -SampleInterval 3 -Format csv | Out-File -Encoding ascii "C:\test.csv"
Properties
Note: The parameters with asterisk (*) on their names are the required parameters and the rest are optional.
| Parameters | Data Types | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
-CacheName* |
<String> |
Specifies the name of the cache for which counters need to be fetched. | - |
-Servers |
<String> |
Specifies one or more server name(s) where the NCache Service is running and a cache with the specified cache-name is running. NOTE: Comma (,) separated server names are to be specified in case of multiple clients. |
Local Machine |
-CounterNames |
<String> |
Specifies one or more counter(s) not included in default counters that should be displayed. NOTE: Comma (,) separated counter names are to be specified in case of multiple counters. |
- |
-Continuous |
<SwitchParameter> |
Specified in order to get the statistics continuously. | - |
-DoNotShowDefaultCounters |
<SwitchParameter> |
Specifies whether default counters are to be shown. NOTE: This parameter is only valid if Counter Names are provided. |
False |
-Format |
<String> |
By default, display format is tabular but it can be set to CSV, and that CSV output can be saved in a CSV file for future use. | Tabular |
-SampleInterval |
<Integer> |
Specifies the time between samples in seconds. The minimum value is 3 seconds. | 1 |
-MaxSamples |
<Integer> |
Specifies the number of samples to get from each counter. To get samples continuously (no maximum sample size), use the Continuous parameter. NOTE: The Continuous parameter and the MaxSamples parameter cannot be used in the same command. If a Sample Interval is provided, it will take the next Sample after that interval otherwise it will use the default value, i.e., 3 seconds. |
1 |
-NoLogo |
<SwitchParameter> |
Suppresses display of the logo banner. | False |
