I have a windows 10 PC on the shop floor of a 24/7 manufacturing plant. The PC runs fine if its memory usage is around 25 or 30% like it is after a restart. If it gets up over about 85%, applications will have errors or unexpectedly close. I do not have admin rights on this PC and new software isn't really an option because of a difficult approval process, so I want to stick with WMI. I'm using the Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Process class to log the individual processes but I'm not sure which class properties most closely follow "Memory %" in Task Manager/Performance/Memory.
My data logger is in Python. I have it running every hour and saving Name and IDProcess for all processes. What other properties should I save? What will these additional properties tell me? Should I be using Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process instead?
