How to get CPU Usage and Virtual Memory for a process in .Net Core?

Question

In .NET Core, how to get the CPU usage and Virtual Memory for a given process?

Google search result reveals that PerformanceCounter and DriverInfo class could do the job. However, PerformanceCounter & DriverInfo class are not available in .NET Core.

There is a post in stackoverflow about this question: How to get the current CPU/RAM/Disk usage in a C# web application using .NET CORE?

However it only addresses: -CPU usage for the current process:

    var proc = Process.GetCurrentProcess();

I have been given process (with a ProcessID integer format). How do I get the CPU Usage and Virtual Memory for that particular process in .NET Core?

You can use PerformnceCounter in the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter package

for example, the next code will give you the total processor usage percent

var cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total", true);
var value = cpuCounter.NextValue();
// In most cases you need to call .NextValue() twice
if (Math.Abs(value) <= 0.00)
    value = cpuCounter.NextValue();

Console.WriteLine(value);
