I need help on pin pointing which processes actually utilizing the most CPU on my server. I had a Win2008 server which are hosting several applications. From time to time the CPU will spike to 100%, when I check from the resource monitor I find that the CPU utilization for individual processes isn't that high but the overall CPU usage is high.

Please refer this screencap

  • You are looking at it. When you sum up these CPU usages of the separate process you have the overall usage. What else do you want? – Gerald Schneider Nov 10 '20 at 08:41
  • How do I explain it to my application guys when they ask why does the particular processes uses only 12% of cpu considered as culprit for high CPU usage? – Jason Oon Nov 10 '20 at 09:14
  • This is not a single process that uses 12%. There are four processes of the same service, three with 12% and one with 11%, which accumulates to 47% out of the currently used 69% (at the point the screenshot is taken). We don't know what this services does, if it is heavy on IO it could also be responsible for a part of the 12% of the System CPU usage. – Gerald Schneider Nov 10 '20 at 09:18
  • Noted Gerald. I got confuse as on how it suppose to be high when the utilization of each processes is only 12%, being used to seeing normally a single processes using up high CPU on my laptop, thus I thought i'm expected to see the same scenario. Anyway, is there any tools out there that can dig deeper to see how much the processes is utilizing per CPU core? – Jason Oon Nov 11 '20 at 08:06
