    Hi

    Is there a better / faster way to retrieve the cookedvalue from a performance counter than below?

    $getRPCReq = Get-Counter "\\server\MSExchangeIS\RPC Requests" -sampleinterval 5
    $RPCReqcs = $getRPCReq.countersamples | where {$_.path -match "RPC Requests"}
    $RPCReq = $RPCReqcs.cookedvalue

    I need the  cookedvalue only as I write it to a webpage, eg:

    $HTML = "...blah and
             <tr><td align=left>MAPI RPC Requests</td>" + $RPCReq + "</td><....

    Hi Shay

    Your method returns

    $_.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue
    --------------------------------
                                   4

    I want only the value

    4

    but it did give me a method to reference the countersamples cooked value directly which is what I was really looking for..

    $RPCReq = Get-Counter "\\server\MSExchangeIS\RPC Requests" -sampleinterval 5

    $HTML = "...blah and
             <tr><td align=left>MAPI RPC Requests</td>" + $RPCReq.{$_.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue} + "</td><....

    Thanks for your help.

    Are you sure? I get the value only:

     

    PS > Get-Counter "\\server\MSExchangeIS\RPC Requests" -sampleinterval 5 | Foreach-Object{ $_.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue }
    4

    Sorry you are right. I tested without using foreach

    so this works nicely..

    $RPCReq = Get-Counter "\\server\MSExchangeIS\RPC Requests" -sampleinterval 5 | Foreach-Object{ $_.CounterSamples[0].CookedValue }
    $HTML = "...blah and
             <tr><td align=left>MAPI RPC Requests</td>" + $RPCReq + "</td><....

    In my script $HTML contains many values, some with maths applied etc so it is easier for me to continue to do above as opposed to $HTML +=

    see..

    Thanks again for the help!
