Been trying to monitor the amount of memory being used by a process using
WMI, specifically utilizing the
Win32_Process, and the Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process classes. I
can't seem to find a perf counter for instance, WorkingSet, PrivateBytes,
VirtualSize...etc whose values match those I see in task manager for the
same process.

Task manager states that is reporting the "private working set" memory, but
not even values from PrivateBytes under
Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process match this.

Can I indeed monitor memory usage using WMI on a per process granularity, or
is there perhaps some other
way I can go about doing this.

Will greatly appreciate any pointers. Thanks!

Hi Deji,

It appears that the PageFileUsage property of the WMI Win32_Process maps to
the virtual memory size column in task manager. Don't forget to divide the
PFU property by 1024.
