  1. Expand Performance Logs And Alerts.
  2. Right-click Counter Logs and select New Log Settings.
  3. In the New Log Settings dialog box, type Countermmddyy (replace mmddyy with the current month, date, and year) as the log name. The log file will be stored in the C:\PerfLogs folder by default. Click the OK button.
  4. In the General tab of the counter log’s Properties dialog box, click the Add button and add the following counters:
  5.     Memory > Available Mbytes
  6.     Memory > Pages/Sec
  7.     Paging File > %Usage
