anyone have a simple exmaple to map all instances of CPU in performanceCounter

• Luis Esteban Valencia Muñoz

  Hi,

  No problem, this example is useful to enumerate the instances:

  PerformanceCounterCategory Cat = new PerformanceCounterCategory("Processors", "YourRemoteMachine");

  string[] Instances = Cat.GetInstanceNames();

  CPUs = new PerformanceCounter[Instances.Length];

  for (int i = 0; i < CPUs.Length; i++)

  {

  CPUs[ i ] = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", Instances[ i ], "YourRemoteMachine");

  }

   

  Cheers

  Thanks SalvaPatuel, the computers I am monitoring are remote computers hence this wont work. Cheers for the reply

  Hi,

  Quick example Maybe this one:

  CPUs = new PerformanceCounter[System.Environment.ProcessorCount];

  for (int i = 0; i < CPUs.Length; i++)
  {
      CPUs[ i ] = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", i.ToString());
  }

  Let me know if you need more information.

  Regards

  Thanks, I couldn't get your code to work, I know it would be something little but just couldn't work it out. It did point in the right direction and this is the final code I came up with

  PerformanceCounterCategory Cat = new PerformanceCounterCategory("Processor","EZ0526");

  string[] Instances = Cat.GetInstanceNames(); //get all the instances of Counter Processors

  Array.Sort(Instances); //sort the array in order

  foreach (string Instance in Instances) //read each Instance in the array

  listBox1.Items.Add(Instance);
