Hello Ansible Team

I am trying to develped below task

CPU/Memory related alerts need manual intervention to review the system health against the resources consuming the CPU/MEMORY. Every time engineer needs to login to the system and performs the troubleshooting leading more effort consumption **Objective - To develop the mechanism that enables centralized management of CPU/Memory utilization issues**  **Expected Outcome - Mechanism may provide functionality :** • Find Total MEM/CPU Utilization • List Top 20 CPU/MEM Utilization in process • List Virtual memory Statistics • List of Virtual CPU Statistics

Team any one have idea please help me on that how i do this using ansible for widows

Thank you Team  
Avinash

Well, while you can use Ansible to run smth like Get-Process with Ansible’s win\_shell or tasklist with win\_command and then parse and analyze responses, this is not smth Ansible should be used for (IMHO) as this is task for monitoring system like Zabbix/SCOM. Keep in mind that Ansible requires some CPU/Memory to run its tasks on the managed node, so if you windows machine is under heavy load, you will have to wait for Ansible’s taks completion for a long time.  
You may want to take a look into Telegraf → InfluxDB/Graphite/Prometheus-\>Grafana stack.  
In this case your metrics (CPU/Memory) are shipped by a Telegraf agent running on Windows to TSDB of your choice and exposed as graphs, tables, etc in Grafana.  
All these components can be installed and configured with Ansible.
