    Check out the SSAS specific DMVs which can help you isolate a user, measure etc. issue. Also, avoid storing string data in a cube... it will consume memory at a fantastic rate and doesn't benefit from the aggregation centric design of SSAS. msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh230820.aspx

    Are you still wanting help? Are you wanting perfmon counters to monitor overall memory usage by SSAS? Something else? This blog post talks about SSAS memory use and it's use of the file system cache: artisconsulting.com/blogs/greggalloway/2010/12/29/…

When trying to fine-tune your memory settings there are two things you'd want to watch:

  1. MSOLAP Memory counters for your server in Performance monitor

  1. Specific DMV queries over discover_object_memory_usage rowset and discover_object_activity rowset.

You can always use a third-party tool to monitor your resources. Also, you might want to check out this article – it gives a detailed description on how to achieve exactly what you are looking for.
