How to get average CPU Utilization per day using powershell ?

Question

_{Thursday, December 11, 2014 3:00 PM}

Hello,

I have ran following command to get CPU Utilization :

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor -ComputerName "MyServer" | Select SystemName , DeviceID , LoadPercentage , Status

However, output is captured during the time when command is getting executed.

By any chance is it possible to capture the Average CPU Utilization for previous day to monitor performance ?

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Dipti Chhatrapati,

Use the following command:

Get-WmiObject -computer server -class win32_processor | Measure-Object -property LoadPercentage -Average | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Average

Historical monitoring would be better utilized with Performance Monitor.

Hi,

According to your post, my understanding is that you want to get the average CPU utilization using PowerShell.

For average CPU usage, we can use the PowerShell as below.

Get-WmiObject win32_processor | Measure-Object -property LoadPercentage -Average | Select Average

As this is the forum for SharePoint server on-premise, for this issue, I recommend you can post a new question in the forum for Windows PowerShell.

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/home?forum=winserverpowershell

More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to Windows PowerShell.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I am still confused about the suggested command.

I have ran following command by time 3:54 PM :

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Processor | Select SystemName , DeviceID , LoadPercentage , Status

And I received following output :

Meaning , this load percentage is only captured by time 3:54 PM.however , if some other time load percentage has got increased by any reason in same day , I couldn't be aware for the same.And hence I want to know the average CPU load percentage of the previous day from 12/12/2014 00:00:00 to 12/12/2014 24:00:00.

I have ran following command as you suggested by 3:58 PM :

Get-WmiObject win32_processor | Measure-Object -property LoadPercentage -Average | Select Average

And I received following output :

What this average means ? average of load percentage of all CPUs by time 3:58 ?? If yes, then my question is still open as I require load percentage of each CPU by considering entire day.

I hope I am clearing the question.Please let me know if any concern/question.

Thanks and Regards,

Again, historical monitoring of windows services through WMI would best be served through Performance Monitor.

Or a system monitor such as Nagios+ or a related setup ( which may require additional cost to implement. )

Load Percentage is not Load average of per day.

Load Percentage is Load capacity of each processor, averaged to the last second. Processor loading refers to the total computing burden for each processor at one time.
