Question

I\'m trying to program in a performance counter into my C# application that launches another process and checks the processor usage of that launched process. As I understand it,

I have created a method that show what CriGoT have writted above, a small shortcut.

    private static void GetAllCounters(string categoryFilter)
    {
        var categories = PerformanceCounterCategory.GetCategories();
        foreach (var cat in categories)
        {
            if (categoryFilter != null && categoryFilter.Length > 0)
            {
                if (!cat.CategoryName.Contains(categoryFilter)) continue;
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Category {0}", cat.CategoryName);
            try
            {
                var instances = cat.GetInstanceNames();
                if (instances != null && instances.Length > 0)
                {
                    foreach (var instance in instances)
                    {
                        //if (cat.CounterExists(instance))
                        //{
                            foreach (var counter in cat.GetCounters(instance))
                            {
                                Console.WriteLine("\tCounter Name {0} [{1}]", counter.CounterName, instance);
                            }
                        //}
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    foreach (var counter in cat.GetCounters())
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("\tCounter Name {0}", counter.CounterName);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                // NO COUNTERS
            }
        }
        Console.ReadLine();
}
