Can someone help me in providing a query for fetching the data for CPU Usage, Memory usage, blocking and all details ...
I want to create a job which will run on a Node every 15 min and store data in a table for each instance...
If someone has any idea please do share.
DMV is not giving more stuff and xtended events not sure if i can store that data into a table?

You could also take a look at Windowstooling, like perfmon and the typeperf tooling.

Perfect! How do you store that in a table in SQL Server? 😉

More than half the battle is knowing what to look for. I don't have a script for this but they're easy enough to find. Google for "sys.dm_os_performance_counters". Lot's of folks have published different sorts of scripts for different reasons.

The easiest is to import the data on a schedule, the perfmon counters can be saved as .csv and a job written to load them up. Done that a number of times.

Since sys.dm_os_performance_counters only shows the SQL-related counters and not server-wide counters such as CPU usage and Memory usage, just querying that DMV won't meet the OP's requirements. They can get some blocking-related info from that DMV, but not all.

p.s. I hope I mis-read the tone of this post, it sounded a little mocking on the first read.

Could you give a little more info as to what exactly you're after? It's unlikely you'll get everything you want in one place. If you break down exactly what you want, we might be able to help more.

Do you need up-to-the-minute results in the table, or are you OK importing data from another location on a daily basis?

Also, check this out as there's a good amount of info on various counters and information sources: http://www.red-gate.com/community/books/accidental-dba

Using the -f switch on typeperf let's you write to SQL Server

Excellent and much better. Thanks for the tip.
