How can I write a PowerShell program that will Average CPU consumption over the time range of 15 minutes

How can I write a PowerShell program that will Average CPU consumption over the time range of 15 minutes?

Below is my sample command

Get-WmiObject Win32_Processor | Measure-Object -Property LoadPercentage -Average | Select Average | Out-File c:\RM.txt -Encoding utf8

PowerShell program that will Average CPU consumption over the time range of 15 minutes

Solution

  • this gives you 60 values of per-10 seconds CPU time average:

    GET-COUNTER -Counter "\Prozessor(_Total)\Prozessorzeit (%)" -SampleInterval 10 -MaxSamples 60 |select -ExpandProperty countersamples | select -ExpandProperty cookedvalue

    then you can proceed with measure-object to gather the average.

    the performance counter will be named according to your OS language settings: english: "\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time"

    be aware that ticket generation depending on CPU usage is usually always provided by system management agents on servers especially in cloud environments.
