How to save a perfmon Performance Counter as a textfile (Reliability and Performance Monitor Version 6.0)

Question

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

Answer 1

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).
