Description

Examples

Example 1: Get the Server Manager performance data collector set state

PS C:\>Get-SMPerformanceCollector -CollectorName 'Server Manager Performance Monitor'
Running

This command gets the state of the performance data collector for Server Manager, 'Server Manager Performance Monitor'. If performance data collection is turned on, the result returned by this command is Running. If performance data collection is turned off, the result is Stopped.
