PerformanceCoun ter returns incorrect value

Hello,

I'm trying to retrieve my cpu load as follows :

PerformanceCoun ter* cpuCounter = new PerformanceCoun ter("Processor" , "%
Processor Time", "_Total");
float value = cpuCounter->NextValue();
However, this always returns 0.0. The same query used in perfmon.exe works
fine.

Do I miss something here ?

TIA,

Michiel.

I'm trying to do something really easy: just get the % CPU load. However, I just get mostly 0's sprinkled with an occasional 100. I poked around on the web for info, but all the stuff I found (I think) does what I have below. Am I blanking out on something here? Getting the available RAM works fine.

Here is my problem. I'm creating an Instrumentation class that will use previously created Performance Categories and Counters in order to time various processes (ie. query duration etc.). This Instrumentation class will be used by a variety of "services", so the Categories and Counters to be used within the object must be set during object construction. So I created a class variable array of: private static PerformanceCounter...

Hello, I've created a simple website which instantiates a PerformanceCounter object on any existing counter. On the Page_Load() event I set a label to the value of the performancecounter (via counter.NextValue()). My testmachine is a Windows 2000 SP4, IE6 SP1, .NET Framework 1.1 SP 1. When I open the Page, the Performance Counter value is displayes as

I have been struggling with a security issue that occurs under .NET 2.0, but does not occur under .NET 1.1. Essentially I am trying to open up a performance counter on a remote server and monitor its value. In .NET 1.1 this worked fine, however under .NET 2.0 it fails when I am not an administrator on the remote server. To provide a lean demonstration of the issue, I created the following class: ============================

Hi... I've got some custom performance counters that can have multiple instances. I use the PerformanceCounter() constructor with the instance name parameter. The thing that puzzles me, though, is that when I look in Perfmon for those counters, the instance name I've passed in has been lowercased. Why would that be? If you look at the Processes counter, it has mixed case instances. Thanks _Mark

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
