PerformanceCoun ter CPU 0% ???

[bobido]

Hi there!

Currently I'm trying to display the current performance of my servers on my website. I tried it with the following code:

    protected static PerformanceCounter cpuCounter;
    protected static PerformanceCounter ramCounter;
 
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            Timer1.Tick += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(Timer1_Tick);
            Timer1.Interval = 2000;
 
            cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total");
            ramCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available MBytes");
        }
        catch (Exception exc)
        { 
        lbl_error.Text = "Error: " + exc.Message;
        }
    }
 
    void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        lbl_text.Text = "<b>WebServer</b> <br/>";
        lbl_text.Text += "CPU Usage: " +getCurrentCpuUsage() + "<br/>";
        lbl_text.Text += "Available Ram: " + getAvailableRAM() + "<br/>";
    }
 
    public string getCurrentCpuUsage()
    {
        return cpuCounter.NextValue() + "%";
    }
    public string getAvailableRAM()
    {
            return ramCounter.NextValue()+"Mb";
    }
 

Currently only the available ram is being showed on the page and the CPU load stays on 0% while in the Performance monitor of Microsoft it says otherwise :S

Thanks in advanced!

I have the same results as you. I'm interested in this thread, hope someone has an answer.
