Get-DnsServerStatistics
Get-DnsServerStatistics is accessible with the help of DnsServer module. To configure DnsServer, go through this link.
Synopsis
Retrieves DNS server statistics or statistics for zones.
Description
The Get-DnsServerStatistics cmdlet retrieves statistics of a Domain Name System (DNS) server. If the ZoneName parameter is specified, this cmdlet gets statistics for the zones specified by that parameter. If the ZoneName parameter is not specified, the cmdlet gets aggregated server level statistics.
If the Clear parameter is specified along with the ZoneName parameter, the statistics for the specified zone will also be cleared.
Parameters
-AsJob
Runs the cmdlet as a background job. Use this parameter to run commands that take a long time to complete.
The cmdlet immediately returns an object that represents the job and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job completes. To manage the job, use the *-Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

-CimSession
Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.
| Type: | CimSession[] |

-ComputerName
Specifies a DNS server. The acceptable values for this parameter are: an IP V4 address; an IP V6 address; any other value that resolves to an IP address, such as a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), host name, or NETBIOS name.

-ThrottleLimit
Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.
