Microsoft.Windows.Server.10.0.OperatingSystem.MemoryPagesPerSec.Collection (Rule)

Collects the performance counter Memory\Pages Reads/Sec.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This rule collects performance data for the Memory\Pages/sec performance counter.

The Physical Disk\Pages/sec performance counter exposes the 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. It is the sum of Memory\Pages Input/sec and Memory\Pages Output/sec. It is counted in numbers of pages, so it can be compared to other counts of pages, such as Memory\Page Faults/sec, without conversion. It includes pages retrieved to satisfy faults in the file system cache (usually requested by applications) non-cached mapped memory files.
