CPU Utilization Report

[Guest]

Is there a way to report on cpu utilization for a specific process? For example, I am trying to report on the cpu utilization for the rtvscan.exe process for all computers.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: CPU Utilization Report

You should be able to do this using the WMI export in Exporter Pro. You'll select your domain, or list of computers you want to export against then go to Tools->Exporter Pro->Export Selected Objects. From there click Settings and then WMI and configure it there.

You can do this using either Exporter Pro, or interactively in Hyena. When done interactively in Hyena, select the computers in Hyena's right window, and then use a WMI query.

Whichever method you use, you would enter a where condition for the WMI query in the 'Where Condition' box:

name="rtvscan.exe"

WMI is not case sensitive. To get the dialog to display for this, you need to right click on the Win32_Process WMI query and select "Execute Query...".

With Exporter PRo, the technique is the same except you would just configure your WMI export template with the Where condition.

Let us know if you have questions either way.

Thanks a lot for the tips. I'll give them a try.

I do not see a column for cpu utilization when running that wmi query, unless it is named something different.

Apparently, CPU utilization is not part of that class. Until we get the WMI performance classes integrated into Hyena, there isn't a way to do this action.

Re: CPU Utilization Report

In Windows XP (both on the client and remote computer) you might be able to use the class:

Win32_perfformatteddata_perfproc_process

This class will give you formatted values for the performance objects.

However, Hyena does not currently support a 'refresher' for these classes and as a result, I am unsure how accurate the data will be. Let us know what you find if you try this. We hope to add support for this soon.
