Windows service CPU utilization

[mohit1993]

Hello guys, I am new in zabbix.

I just wanted to capture how much my cpu is utilize by server and process or service which is running on that server.

perf_counter[\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time]  //working fine

for particular process try like this

perf_counter["\Process(textProcess)\% Processor Time"]

and this

perf_counter["\Process(textProcess)\% User Time"]

but above item not giving me proper cpu utilization.

To monitor CPU utilization in Windows, use performance counter: \Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time. What is wrong with this counter?

Here are more details on that counter: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/.../cc938603.aspx

If you want to capture load (which is different) you can use these items:

1. system.cpu.load[percpu,avg1]
2. system.cpu.load[percpu,avg5]
3. system.cpu.load[percpu,avg15]

Individual process in Windows is tricky because the value is based out of total number of cores. If a box have 4 cores, the value collected would be out of 400%.

this above one giving me proper cpu utilization.

I understand what u said about Individual process. that why

perf_counter["\Process(textProcess)\% Processor Time"]

this above item giving me random value but do you have any other solution for Individual process.

[mohit1993]

is any one here who monitor windows individual process using zabbix???

is any one here who monitor windows individual process using zabbix???

Yes. Works great.

[mohit1993]

Yes. Works great.

How did you got particular process cpu utilization value using zabbix??

I use: perf_counter[\Process(processname)\% Processor Time]. It works fine, just have to keep in mind that number of cores on that box. The value is out of that. 4 cores = 400 %, so you can have a value 200% and still have a lot of processor left. I don't believe there is a counter for the data you see in task manager.

Sorry, I misunderstood your question....
Thought you meant howto monitor an individual Windows process (for example "firefox.exe").

Yes Exactly that what i mean howto monitor an individual Windows process

[Spoonman]

Yes Exactly that what i mean howto monitor an individual Windows process

- create Template with the process name
- key = proc.num[firefox.exe]
- Expression = {Template Firefox Processroc.num[firefox.exe].last(0)}=0
