Process: %processor time

Hi,
I am monitoring the above counter on a 4 processor box
and have 2 questions:
(1) the value for 2 instances (there are 5 all together)
is ~200, so how is this a %? Is this to be read as 200/4
so 50%?
(2) the instances are listed as sqlservr #1, sqlservr #2
etc - how can I resolve this to the instance name?
TIA,
Mary
Mary,
1: Yes, divide the total percent by the number of instances. Double check
with Task Manager.
2. What operating system are you using? On Windows XP, Perfmon separates the
counters by instance name.
Hope this helps,
Ron

|||Thanks Ron,
I'm using Win 2000 Server. The counters are separated by
instance name for most things, but for Process they are
not - they appear as a numbered list in the bottom right-
hand corner.
Thanks,
Mary
