Collects resource utilization data for a virtual machine or resource pool.
Enable-VMResourceMetering [-ResourcePoolName] <String> [[-ResourcePoolType] <VMResourcePoolType>] [-ComputerName <String[]>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Enable-VMResourceMetering [-VMName] <String[]> [-ComputerName <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
Enable-VMResourceMetering [-VM] <VirtualMachine[]> [<CommonParameters>]
The Enable-VMResourceMetering cmdlet starts collecting resource utilization data for a virtual machine or resource pool.
You can use the Measure-VM or Measure-VMResourcePool cmdlet to obtain this data.
If resource metering is enabled but no NetworkAdapterAcls are configured, Hyper-V configures them to measure total network traffic. To measure
network traffic through an IP range, configure the NetworkAdapterAcls for the IP range before calling this cmdlet. (See
Add-VMNetworkAdapterAcl for more information.)

Example 1
PS C:\>Enable-VMResourceMetering –VMName TestVM
This example starts collecting resource utilization data on a virtual machine named TestVM.
Example 2
PS C:\>Get-VM TestVM | Enable-VMResourceMetering
PS C:\>Get-VM TestVM | Format-List Name,ResourceMeteringEnabled
This example starts collecting resource utilization data on a resource pool named TestResourcePool. (You can determine whether resource
metering is enabled for a resource pool by querying its ResourceMeteringEnabled property.)
Example 3
PS C:\>Enable-VMResourceMetering –ResourcePoolName TestResourcePool –ResourcePoolType MemoryPS C:\>Get-VMResourcePool -Name TestResourcePool
–ResourcePoolType Memory | Format-List Name,ResourceMeteringEnabled
This example uses two commands that show resource metering being enabled and then obtain the data. The first command starts collecting
resource utilization data for a memory resource pool named TestResourcePool. (You can determine whether resource metering is enabled for a
resource pool by querying its ResourceMeteringEnabled property.) The second command retrieves the data in and formats it as a list.
Example 4
PS C:\>Enable-VMResourceMetering –Name TestResourcePool –ResourcePoolType @(“Processor”,”VHD”,”Ethernet”,”Memory”)
This example begins collecting resource utilization data on multiple resource pools with the name TestResourcePool.
