I'm trying to implement a program which can monitor the System usage statistics and report/alert when the usage (Configured in the program config. settings) go beyond the provided limit.
I tried PerformanceCounter
and ManagementObjectSearcher
to fetch and compare with Task Manager
CPU usage but not getting the values even close to the taskmanager values.
Currently, I am following this link Link
Source Code
class Program
{
static List<float> AvailableCPU = new List<float>();
static List<float> AvailableRAM = new List<float>();
protected static PerformanceCounter cpuCounter;
protected static PerformanceCounter ramCounter;
static List<PerformanceCounter> cpuCounters = new List<PerformanceCounter>();
static int cores = 0;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter();
cpuCounter.CategoryName = "Processor";
cpuCounter.CounterName = "% Processor Time";
cpuCounter.InstanceName = "_Total";
foreach (var item in new System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_Processor").Get())
{
cores = cores + int.Parse(item["NumberOfCores"].ToString());
}
ramCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available MBytes");
int procCount = System.Environment.ProcessorCount;
for (int i = 0; i < procCount; i++)
{
System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter pc = new System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", i.ToString());
cpuCounters.Add(pc);
}
Thread c = new Thread(ConsumeCPU);
c.IsBackground = true;
c.Start();
try
{
System.Timers.Timer t = new System.Timers.Timer(1200);
t.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(TimerElapsed);
t.Start();
Thread.Sleep(10000);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("catched exception");
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
public static void ConsumeCPU()
{
int percentage = 60;
if (percentage < 0 || percentage > 100)
throw new ArgumentException("percentage");
Stopwatch watch = new Stopwatch();
watch.Start();
while (true)
{
// Make the loop go on for "percentage" milliseconds then sleep the
// remaining percentage milliseconds. So 40% utilization means work 40ms and sleep 60ms
if (watch.ElapsedMilliseconds > percentage)
{
Thread.Sleep(100 - percentage);
watch.Reset();
watch.Start();
}
}
}
public static void TimerElapsed(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
float cpu = cpuCounter.NextValue();
float sum = 0;
foreach (PerformanceCounter c in cpuCounters)
{
sum = sum + c.NextValue();
}
sum = sum / (cores);
float ram = ramCounter.NextValue();
Console.WriteLine(string.Format("CPU Value 1: {0}, cpu value 2: {1} ,ram value: {2}", sum, cpu, ram));
AvailableCPU.Add(sum);
AvailableRAM.Add(ram);
}
}
At times it goes beyond 100%. Please suggest some method which can help me fetch the CPU usage somewhere close to the TaskManager values.
