How do you get perfmon data that has instance parameters ?
e.g. I'm looking to get the Total CPU utilisation of a server. The Processor\% CPU Time counter, in RTMT, shows mulltiple instances. (on my 4-core server, it shows 0-3 and _Total)
How can I select, say, the _Total value/instance ?
Just asking for \\SERVERNAME\Processor\% CPU Time just gives me zero all the time.
Asking for \\SERVERNAME\Processor\% CPU Time\_Total or \\SERVERNAME\Processor\% CPU Time._Total gives me an error.
Thanks,
GTG

With the help of RTMT, I figured it out. The value you need is:
\\SERVERNAME\Processor(_Total)\% CPU Time
i.e. the instance is in brackets after the first part of the name.
