​Check System Resource Utilization

To check the system resources utilization:

  1. ​Use the built-in Performance Monitor or PowerShell.
  2. ​List the available system resources with performance counters: Get-Counter -ListSet * | Select-Object -ExpandProperty CounterSetName
  3. ​Get the counters for a specific counter set: Get-Counter -Counter "\{CounterSetName}\*"
  4. ​Replace{CounterSetName} with the name of the counter set you want to monitor.
  5. ​List the IPV4 stats for all, TCP, and UDP: Get-Counter "\IPv4\*" Get-Counter "\TCPv4\*" Get-Counter "\UDPv4\*"
  6. ​List the network interface stats: Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Current Bandwidth" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Total/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Received/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Bytes Sent/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Received/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Sent/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Received Unicast/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Received Non-Unicast/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Received Discarded" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Received Errors" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Received Unknown" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Sent Unicast/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Sent Non-Unicast/sec" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Outbound Discarded" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Packets Outbound Errors" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Output Queue Length" Get-Counter "\Network Interface(*)\Offloaded Connections"
Note:​If dropped or discarded packets are suspected, check the following counters:
  • ​IPv4 Datagrams Received Discarded Counter
  • ​Network Interface Packets Received Discarded Counter
