Programmatically monitor CPU usage


soupy

Recommended Posts

I have some processor intensive data acquisition and control programs that run on windows servers. Data integrity is extremely critical. I want to get all of the metrics I can to prove that data is good and determine how far away I am from "bad" data. Does anyone know a method to acquire the current CPU usage? A total usage will suffice, but levels for each core would be super awesome!

Thanks in advance,

-Andy

Thanks, but it appears that eTree perfmon no longer exists on the internet. All the links for it are dead. Do you know of any web site that would still have it, or do you have it?

Take a look at the http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2051' target="_blank">Windows Performance Monitor that uses .NET calls to access CPU (including per core values) and other system parameters.

There is a similar VI for RT applications on NI's website.

Awesome! This one is nice 'n easy.

Can you use .NET to query the processor usage of a program?

The Windows Performance Monitor I mentioned earlier, does EXACTLY that.

I'm sorry, I hadn't had time to fully investigate that VI yet. You are correct, it does exactly that (and more!). I'll make a VI just for processor usage and post it shortly.

Thanks all for the help!
