VB/WMI help needed.

[aux_con]

So I'm not well versed in VB... but I'm trying to get a "footprint" script together that will snapshot my process vital statistics over time (CPU use and memory useage) using WMI. I've used the example to see if the process is running but how do I get to the statistics of the process itself.

I think I would need to get the colletion of a specific process... but this is where I get lost.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Also assume I know nothing about VB.


here's the script I use to see if the process (or any specified process) is running.

Assigned>PROCESS,processexists
if>processexists=FALSE
Let>PROCESS=AgentStation.exe
Endif

VBSTART
'returns the number of copies of ProcessName that are running
'will return 0 if ProcessName is not running
Function IsProcessRunning(ProcessName)
Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = oWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select Name from Win32_Process where Name='" & ProcessName & "'")
IsProcessRunning = colProcessList.count
End Function
VBEND

VBEval>IsProcessRunning("%PROCESS%"),result

If result>0
Let>MACRO_RESULT=RUNNING
Macro>%SCRIPT_DIR%\ExpLog.scp /MESSAGE=%PROCESS% running! /STATE=INFO /CALLINGSCRIPT=%SCRIPT_FILE%
Else
Let>MACRO_RESULT=NOT FOUND
Macro>%SCRIPT_DIR%\ExpLog.scp /MESSAGE=%PROCESS% not found! /STATE=INFO /CALLINGSCRIPT=%SCRIPT_FILE%
Endif

I'll look at your script a little later, but you should save this link:

Good place to start with WMI...
