Monitor CPU Usage of All Running Processes – Part II

b.  Create C:\monitorprocess\ Listremoteprocess2.vbs as shown below. [Refer Fig 1.1]. Please download Listremoteprocess2.vbs_.

‘Objective: To Find the CPU usage of each process that are running on a remote machine
‘Created by : MAK
‘Created Date: Nov 2, 2005
‘Syntax: cscript Listremoteprocess2.vbs machinename
‘Example: cscript Listremoteprocess2.vbs MyMachine
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
strComputer =objArgs(0)
Set objWMIService = GetObject(“winmgmts:\\” & strComputer & “\root\cimv2”)
Set colProcesses =
objWMIService.ExecQuery(“Select * from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process”,,48)
‘   wscript.echo “Computer Name” & “,” & “Process Name” & “,”& “CPU Usage”
For Each objItem in colProcesses
if objItem.Name <> “Idle”  and objItem.Name <> “_Total” then
   wscript.echo strcomputer & “,
   ” & objItem.Name & “,
   “& objItem.PercentProcessorTime
end if
Next

c.  Create the file C:\monitorprocess\ Listaprocessremote.bat as shown below. [Refer fig 1.2]. Download Listaprocessremote.bat_.

REM Objective: To execute the Listremoteprocess2.vbsfor every server listed in servers.txt
REM Created by: MAK
REM Created by” Nov 2, 2005
REM Usage: Listaprocessremote.bat Allservers.csv
dir %1
if %errorlevel% == 0 goto process
goto delfile
:delfile
del %1
goto process
:process
for /f “tokens=1 delims=&” %%i in (c:\Monitorprocess\Servers.txt)
do cscript/nologo c:\Monitorprocess\Listremoteprocess2.vbs %%i >>%1
goto end
:end

[Fig 1.2]

d.  Execute the batch file as shown below. [Refer Fig 1.3].

Listaprocessremote.bat myserverprocess.csv

Or

c:\monitorprocess\Listaprocessremote.bat c:\monitorprocess\myserverprocess.csv

[Fig 1.3]

e.  When this batch file is executed, it deletes the existing csv file, finds all of the processes that are running on a remote machine and their CPU usage and stores it in myserverprocess.csv file with the following message.

[Fig 1.4]

f.  The .csv file can be viewed using Excel or notepad as shown below. [Refer Fig 1.5].

ATDBQA, sysdown, 0
ATDBQA, ClusSvc, 0
ATDBQA, cpqnimgt, 0
ATDBQA, cqmgserv, 0
ATDBQA, cqmgstor, 0
ATDBQA, cqmghost, 0
ATDBQA, cpqwmgmt, 0
ATDBQA, ResrcMon, 0
ATDBQA, naPrdMgr, 0
ATDBQA, wmiprvse, 0
ATDBQA, svchost, 0
ATDBQA, msdtc, 0
ATDBQA, sqlservr, 0
ATDBQA, sqlagent, 0
ATDBQA, DWRCS, 0
ATDBQA, locator, 0
ATDBQA, server, 0
ATDBQA, logon.scr, 0

[Fig 1.5]

g.  Let us create a database, Table and login as shown below.

create database MonitorProcesses
go
use MonitorProcesses
go
Create table Processes (
id int identity (1,1) not null,
ServerName varchar(128),
ProcessName varchar(256),
CPU_Usage int not null,
Time datetime constraint currentdate default getdate())
go
Create view Processes_view as
select ServerName,ProcessName, CPU_Usage from Processes
go
use master
go
sp_addlogin ‘procuser’,’B07250BE’,’MonitorProcesses’
go
use MonitorProcesses
go
sp_adduser ‘procuser’
go
sp_addrolemember ‘db_datareader’,’procuser’
go
sp_addrolemember ‘db_datawriter’,’procuser’
go

h.  Let us import the myserverprocess.csv file using the following BULK INSERT command.

use MonitorProcesses
go
BULK INSERT MonitorProcesses.dbo.Processes_view
   FROM ‘c:\Monitorprocess\myserverprocess.csv’
   WITH
      (
         FIELDTERMINATOR = ‘,’,
         ROWTERMINATOR = ‘\n’
      )

i.  This import process can be created as a scheduled job that imports this file daily. [Refer Fig 1.6, 1.7].

[Fig 1.6]

[Fig 1.7]

j.  The table Process collects information about all of the processes and CPU usage from all of the servers. The table can be queried as shown below.

select * from Processes
select * from Processes where processname like ‘%SQLServr’
Select * from Processes where servername =’ATDBQA’

The result would look similar to that shown below.

Conclusion

This article has illustrated how to monitor the CPU usage of different running processes on different machines, how to collect the information in a database table and automate the import process by scheduling.
