Using PerformanceCounter to track memory and CPU usage per process?
How can I use System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter to track the memory and CPU usage for a process?
Solution 1:
For per process data:
Process p = /*get the desired process here*/;
PerformanceCounter ramCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Process", "Working Set", p.ProcessName);
PerformanceCounter cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Process", "% Processor Time", p.ProcessName);
while (true)
{
Thread.Sleep(500);
double ram = ramCounter.NextValue();
double cpu = cpuCounter.NextValue();
Console.WriteLine("RAM: "+(ram/1024/1024)+" MB; CPU: "+(cpu)+" %");
}
Performance counter also has other counters than Working set and Processor time.
Solution 2:
I think you want Windows Management Instrumentation.
EDIT: See here:

How to get the CPU Usage in C#?
Solution 3:
If you are using .NET Core, the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter
is not an option. Try this instead:
System.Diagnostics.Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess();
long ram = p.WorkingSet64;
Console.WriteLine($"RAM: {ram/1024/1024} MB");
