Dear TMNewton

Thank you for using PRTG. We have no standard sensor for this metric. However, we offer a Performance Counter Custom Sensor: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/perfcounter_custom_sensor.htm

Some Performance Counter queries can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938959.aspx

PRTG requires a special format for the Performance Counters, as described in the first link:

Use the following syntax: the name of the counter, followed by two colons (:: ) and the unit. Example: \Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time::%
