Server 2008 R2 - how to choose performance monitoring objects and then how to extract results for trending

-

i have been tasked setting performance monitors on new server 2008 r2 hosting virtualized

operating systems.  

management wants me provide them performance results , provide data track trends.

this first time admin on server 2008 r2 , know there differences in setup of monitoring between server 2008 , server 2008 r2. (i haven't had admin on server box since had box running  server 2000).

i had few questions:

1. windows monitors important have running on server 2008 r2 ? server hosts virtualized non-windows os @ time.

i thinking of scheduling basic monitors run, such as:

cpu usage,ram memory usage , pagefile usage.   

i not sure which, if any, sub-monitors of cpu, ram , pagefiles choose run.

2. best way gather , save performance monitoring results, use in ongoing long term trending? 

i thinking maybe freeware or inexpensive 3rd party collect , gather of logged monitor data , organize/compile 1 or more formats easy create trending charts with. 

or find sort of existing script use gather them up, combine them , put results single file can imported excel or such.
