How can I monitor CPU Usage of multiple processes using Wildcard?

Hello,

that might only be possible using a self-written script which runs as a Custom Sensor in PRTG.

Best Regards.

Got now this powershell script and modified it to PRTG needs:

function Get-CPU {
    param(
        [string] $computer = $env:COMPUTERNAME,
	[string] $Proc,
        [int] $threshold = 0
    )
 
    $ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
 
    # Test connection to computer
    if( !(Test-Connection -Destination $computer -Count 1) ){
        Write-Host "4: Could not connect to :: $computer"
        return
    }
 
    # Get all the processes
    $processes = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computer `
    -Class Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process `
    -Property Name, PercentProcessorTime
 
    $return= @()
 
    # Build up a return list
    foreach( $process in $processes ){
        if( $process.PercentProcessorTime -ge $threshold `
        -and $process.Name -ne "Idle" `
		-and $process.Name -match $Proc `
        -and $process.Name -ne "_Total"){
            $item = "" | Select Name, CPU
            $item.Name = $process.Name
            $item.CPU = $process.PercentProcessorTime
            $return += $item
            $item = $null
        }
    }
 
    # Sort the return data
    $cpuusage = $return | measure-object -Property CPU -Average  | fl Average | out-string -s | ? {$_}
    $cpuusage = $cpuusage.replace("Average : ","")
    $cpuusage = $cpuusage.replace("`n","")
    $output = $cpuusage.Substring(0, 4) + ":OK"
    return $output

}
Get-CPU

PRTG is reporting for example 14,00% instead 1,4%. When running the script from powershell it reports correctly, where I'm wrong with my script?

Hello,

do you have the Sensor in PRTG set to be an Integer or Float-Type?

Best Regards.

Was on Integer. I've changed the script to report only full procents. Means if the the processes take 1,23%, the script returns the value 1%

Thank you

Hello,

just as a tip, on the "Channels"-Tab you can change the amount of displayed decimal places, if you were to re-create the sensor as a float-type.

Best Regards.
