Now the file gets saved as blg, but I would like a txt version to import in Excel.

If you have an existing BLG file you would like to convert to CSV, you can use the command relog for this purpose. The format is:

relog -f csv input.blg -o output.csv

If you are talking about changing the collector to use a CSV by default, it is a setting in Perfmon itself. On the Log Files tab of your counter, you change the "log file type" to be Text File (comma delimited).

  • On my Windows 7 and Server 2012 machines, defaulting to CSV is an option on the **Performance Counters** tab in a drop-down list called **Log format**. – A N Oct 09 '15 at 18:42
