I want to know the CPU usage of a specific service in C#.
PerformanceCounter works fine with process:
PerformanceCounter counter = new PerformanceCounter("Process", "% Processor Time", "myprocess", true);
double result = counter.NextValue();
but not with services:
PerformanceCounter counter = new PerformanceCounter("Service", "% Processor Time", "myservice", true);
double result = counter.NextValue();
To get the % CPU usage, you will need to divide it by the # of logical cores that the OS sees. To get get the CPU % usage you would need ( CPU time / # of cores / wall-clock time elapsed ), but otherwise correct.
CPU time is the amount of time that the process is using the CPU, converting it to percentage is done by dividing it by the real amount of time passed. For example, if CPU time is 1 second of total execution time 2 seconds then he CPU utilization is ½ x 100 = 50%.
The mpstat command provides information about CPU performance and utilization by giving CPU statistics for the whole system and each available processor. Running the mpstat command on a Linux system will display an output like the one shown in figure 2.
The correct name for the performance counter would be
PerformanceCounter counter = new PerformanceCounter("Process", "% Processor Time", "ACService", true);
