This System Health Monitor includes:
- A menu with 6 options
- Functions for various system health checks:
- Checking CPU usage
- Checking memory usage
- Checking disk space
- Listing top CPU-consuming processes
- Checking system uptime
- Use of PowerShell cmdlets like
Get-WmiObject,Get-CimInstance, andGet-Process - Basic calculations for memory and disk usage percentages
- Formatted output for better readability
This tool provides a quick overview of essential system health metrics. It’s useful for:
- Monitoring system performance
- Identifying potential resource bottlenecks
- Checking available disk space
- Identifying processes that are consuming high CPU
- Determining how long the system has been running
This script is suitable for users who want to perform basic system health checks without needing to navigate through multiple system tools or commands. It provides a simple interface for accessing important system information quickly and easily.
