I want to be able to to output to a log file the top CPU consumers every 5 seconds. That way I will be able to see who uses the most of the cpu during my tests.
I have found this answer very common:
$cpu = Get-Counter -ComputerName localhost "\Process(*)\% Processor Time" `
| Select-Object -ExpandProperty countersamples `
| where {$_.InstanceName -ne 'idle' } `
| where {$_.InstanceName -ne '_total' }`
| Select-Object -Property instancename, cookedvalue `
| Sort-Object -Property cookedvalue -Descending `
| Select-Object -First 5 `
| ft @{L='Date';E={Get-Date}}, InstanceName, @{L='CPU';E={(($_.Cookedvalue/100)/$NumberOfLogicalProcessors).toString('P')}} -HideTableHeaders `
| Format-Table -Auto | Out-String
I have 2 issues with it:
Sometimes I get:
Get-Counter : The data in one of the performance counter samples is not valid. View the Status property for each PerformanceCounterSample object to make sure it contains valid data.
I would like to get the full process name, and not
java 25% idea64 0.8% ...
I'll try to answer your two questions at once with following script:
Get-Counter "\Process(*)\% Processor Time" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue `
| select -ExpandProperty CounterSamples `
| where {$_.Status -eq 0 -and $_.instancename -notin "_total", "idle"} `
| sort CookedValue -Descending `
| select TimeStamp,
@{N="Name";E={
$friendlyName = $_.InstanceName
try {
$procId = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::GetProcessesByName($_.InstanceName)[0].Id
$proc = Get-WmiObject -Query "SELECT ProcessId, ExecutablePath FROM Win32_Process WHERE ProcessId=$procId"
$procPath = ($proc | where { $_.ExecutablePath } | select -First 1).ExecutablePath
$friendlyName = [System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo($procPath).FileDescription
} catch { }
$friendlyName
}},
@{N="CPU";E={($_.CookedValue/100/$env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS).ToString("P")}} -First 5 `
| ft -a -HideTableHeaders
This results in following table:
24.07.2016 21:00:53 Microsoft Edge Content Process 9,68%
24.07.2016 21:00:53 system 0,77%
24.07.2016 21:00:53 Microsoft Edge 0,39%
24.07.2016 21:00:53 runtimebroker 0,39%
24.07.2016 21:00:53 Host Process for Windows Services 0,39%
Get-Counter : The data in one of the performance counter samples is not valid. View the Status property for each PerformanceCounterSample object to make sure it contains valid data.
This is related to process management in windows environment. While you execute query, some processes may appear, some of them may disappear (i.e. wmiprvse process responsible for executing wmi queries). Some processes may require more permissions you have. This all leads to error when obtaining process information. It can be safely skipped using -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
switch and filtered with Status -eq 0
expression.
GetVersionInfo
method. If such information is available FileDescription
property stores that value. If it's not available then non-friendly process name is used.you get output something like this

Get-Process -ComputerName $env:computername for remote computers you can have in csv
Import-CSV c:\"computers.csv" | % {
$Server = $_.ServerName
$alivetest = Test-Path "\\$Server\c$\"
If ($alivetest -eq "True")
{Get-Process -ComputerName $server |
