FindTheTopProcess (FTTP) - by uziq

This plugin returns top process information.

Put the plugin in the plugins folder, and the example config in the configs folder.


INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Add a new plugin meter.
2. On the Source tab, select FindTheTopProcess.dll from the list of plugins.
3. Select the ReturnData function.
4. Click Configure to specify the settings.
5. Click Test Function a couple of times to see what the data will look like.



NOTE:
* Due to differences with timing and sampling rates, the data from FTTP will not always match up with Samurize's built-in WMI/Perfmon meters.
The graph in the example config demonstrates this effect: Yellow is the CPU usage reported by Samurize, and blue is the CPU usage reported by FTTP.
Ideally, they would match perfectly, and all you would see is green (yellow+blue=green).
Since this does not always happen, you should use the total CPU usage from FTTP instead of the built-in functionality of Samurize.

* FTTP internally updates the data every 1000ms, so there is no reason to have ReturnData refresh any faster than that.

* This plugin uses WMI to gather data.  So you may notice increased usage of wmiprvse and svchost.

* If you want the total number of processes running, then use a Perfmon meter  (System -> Processes).




TIP: If the plugin doesn't work for you, then try the "fallback" version found in the Samurize.com forums.
