How to send Performance Counter Logs to a Server

philz1982

I've got a series of Windows 8 machines on the same workgroup as the Server. How can I take Performance Counter Logs that I am creating on the Windows 8 machines to log a memory service and send these logs to the server.

I cannot RDP to the machines to check the logs because that restarts the service.

How about a powershell script which utilizes robocopy? I utilize one that logs to the server event log so you can easily see results each day (say one fails).

Can you just create a share on the server and have the data saved there? When you create a data collector set, you should be able to save the logs to anywhere.

You can use MMC to connect to the remote machine monitor and see results that way.

Yea i can create shares i was hoping i could create logs and have them show up in the performance log window on the server. I could save them to a share just being lazy and trying to skip that step.
