Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Balancer

Available Memory

_Total

The amount of memory that the Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Balancer can assign to virtual machines.

Hyper-V Dynamic Memory Balancer

% Memory Pressure

_Total

Average memory pressure for all virtual machines across the Hyper-V host.

Hyper-V Hypervisor

Virtual Processors

_Total

The number of virtual processors configured for all VMs running on the Hyper-V host.

Hyper-V Hypervisor

VM Total

_Total

Total number of virtual machines registered on the Hyper-V host.

Hyper-V Hypervisor

VM Running

_Total

Number of powered on virtual machines on the Hyper-V host.

Hyper-V Hypervisor

VM Powered Off

_Total

Number of virtual machines in the shutdown (powered off) state on the Hyper-V host.

Hyper-V Hypervisor

VM Paused

_Total

Number of virtual machines in the paused (suspended) state on the Hyper-V host.

Hyper-V Hypervisor

VM Saved

_Total

Number of virtual machines in the saved state on the Hyper-V host.

Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor

% Hypervisor Run Time

_Total

Percentage of physical processor time used to run the hypervisor.

Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor

% Total Run Time

_Total

Percentage of physical processor time used to run both VMs and the hypervisor.

Hyper-V Hypervisor Logical Processor

CPU Usage MHz

_Total

The current CPU usage for the Hyper-V server (in MHz).

Hyper-V Root Virtual Processor

% Avg Dispatch Wait Time

_Total

The average time (in percentage) that a virtual machine was ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical CPU.

Hyper-V Root Virtual Processor

% Max Dispatch Wait Time

_Total

The maximum time (in percentage) that a virtual machine was ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical CPU.

Memory

Memory Used MB

_Total

Physical memory usage on the Hyper-V host in MB.

Memory

% Memory Used

_Total

Memory used divided by total physical memory, as a percentage.

Memory

Pages/sec

_Total

Rate at which pages are read from or written to disk to resolve hard page faults. This counter is a primary indicator of the kinds of faults that cause system-wide delays.

System

Context Switches/sec

_Total

The number of times a virtual processor had been scheduled to a particular logical processor.

System

Hyper-V Network Adapter

Output Queue Length

AdapterName

Length of the output queue (in packets). If the Output Queue Length is longer than 2, there are delays and the bottleneck should be found and eliminated, if possible.
