How can i get total Memory in % from task manager and get the output of it in to a log file

Question

I need a Powershell script that can get me total memory % from the Task Manager and get the output of it into a log file.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I see Windows and Powershell tags in your question. This SuperUser post explains how to get this information, both using commandline and Powershell.

Answer 2

To get the total memory, try this command

(Get-WmiObject -class "cim_physicalmemory" | Measure-Object -Property Capacity -Sum).Sum

You can get this output into a text file using this command

(Get-WmiObject -class "cim_physicalmemory" | Measure-Object -Property Capacity -Sum).Sum | Out-File C:\logs.txt
