Hello everyone,
I recently had to use windows performance monitor in order to gather information on memory usage.
I thaugh it could be usefull to others who may need the same bug report information complement.

First configure a counter as explained here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/using-performance-monitor-to-find-a-user-mode-memory-leak
but use a time interval shorter that 600 sec, something that suits your average test better, I opted for 30 seconds.

Start the monitoring process, then your tests, once complete, stop the monitoring.
Open an explorer window and navigate to the performance log directory so you can copy the log.

I personnaly had to include a detailed test report along the memery usage log to help the developper pin point the problem area.

Hope this helps, and perhaps other type of counter can also be usefull to monitor depending on the type of application you are testing.
