Answer 1

I just typed in 'get all processes in c#' into google and found this:

        Process[] processlist = Process.GetProcesses();

        foreach (Process theprocess in processlist)
        {
        }

i quickly tested in asp.net core 2.2 and it works fine using System.Diagnostics; However i used windows 10 pro to test it. So i dont know if it will work with other operating systems.

You can use PerformnceCounter in the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter package

for example, the next code will give you the total processor usage percent

var cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total", true);
var value = cpuCounter.NextValue();
// In most cases you need to call .NextValue() twice
if (Math.Abs(value) <= 0.00)
    value = cpuCounter.NextValue();

Console.WriteLine(value);
