I am trying to record the load on the CPU for certain time period using PowerShell. Is there any way to record the CPU utilization in the task manager? I have tried this: Tracking CPU and Memory usage per process. But it didn't work.

What about: [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6298941/how-do-i-find-the-cpu-and-ram-usage-using-powershell) – Jelphy May 18 '17 at 10:49

Thank you @Jelphy. I have tried it. It gives the current load on the CPU but i want to define the time period and get the average CPU load for that time period. – Harsh Jaswal May 18 '17 at 10:55

Why not use Perfmon? – vonPryz May 18 '17 at 11:08

Thanks @vonPryz. But none of the counters in performance monitor gives the CPU usage. – Harsh Jaswal May 19 '17 at 04:27

Use the Get-Counter cmdlet with the SampleInterval parameter:
$interval = 20 #seconds
$counterSample = Get-Counter '\Processor(_Total)\% Processor Time' -SampleInterval $interval
$avgLoad = $counterSample.CounterSamples.CookedValue

Thanks @Mathias R. Jessen. I have tried it but I am not sure if it gives the CPU usage. The value i got here and the value in the resource monitor CPU usage is different. – Harsh Jaswal May 19 '17 at 04:30

How do you get an average over 20 seconds from Resource Monitor? – Mathias R. Jessen May 19 '17 at 07:46
