PoshMon - PowerShell Does Performance Counters
summary
PowerShell 3.0 claims easy access to Windows performance counters using a simple cmdlet and the demos show it: use Get-Counter for counter sets and continuous sampling, use Get-WmiObject/Get-CimInstance for raw classes, and assemble arrays/foreach loops with stored credential objects to query dozens of machines. Scripts parse perfmon saved counter paths, replace computer names, produce BLG files and write results to Excel, returning concrete stats (example average CPU 17.75% max 27%). The provided scripts run and produce usable min/max/avg numbers for ad hoc testing.
