Tracking CPU and Memory usage per process

Question

I suspect that one of my applications eats more CPU cycles than I want it to. The problem is - it happens in bursts, and just looking at the task manager doesn\'t help me as

Answer 1

There was a requirement to get status and cpu / memory usage of some specific windows servers. I used below script:

This is an example of Windows Search Service.

  $cpu = Get-WmiObject win32_processor
  $search = get-service "WSearch"
  if ($search.Status -eq 'Running')
  {
  $searchmem = Get-WmiObject Win32_Service -Filter "Name = 'WSearch'"
  $searchid = $searchmem.ProcessID
  $searchcpu1 = Get-WmiObject Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Process | Where {$_.IDProcess -eq $searchid}
  Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
  $searchcpu2 = Get-WmiObject Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Process | Where {$_.IDProcess -eq $searchid}
  $searchp2p1 = $searchcpu2.PercentProcessorTime - $searchcpu1.PercentProcessorTime
  $searcht2t1 = $searchcpu2.Timestamp_Sys100NS - $searchcpu1.Timestamp_Sys100NS
  $searchcpu = [Math]::Round(($searchp2p1 / $searcht2t1 * 100) /$cpu.NumberOfLogicalProcessors, 1)
  $searchmem = [Math]::Round($searchcpu1.WorkingSetPrivate / 1mb,1)
  Write-Host 'Service is' $search.Status', Memory consumed: '$searchmem' MB, CPU Usage: '$searchcpu' %'
  }

  else
  {
  Write-Host Service is $search.Status -BackgroundColor Red
  }
