A tiny bit of information about the 0.4.2 status. I added a new command check_pagefile whch will allow you to check the usage and size of your page files.

L client Performance data: '??D:pagefile.sys'=1G;14;19 ...And almost everything works perfectly. The only major snag I noticed was check_process reports all running processes as "stopped". Interestingly it seems to get the metrics such as handle count, and memory size so only the "state" is reported incorrectly. Also I need to add so delayed services which are ...

Performance counters are troublesome but they are also one of the best ways to monitor systems and applications in Windows. Much of the difficult with performance counters (PDH) come from the fact that they are localized. In build 102 of 0.4.1 we added support for "English counters" this ...
Two new commands have been modernized for 0.4.2. First off they now use the filters which all commands should use for 0.4.2 (or at least most of them). But they are also '''NOT''' relaying on PDH which means PDH issues are a thing of the past ...
