Get Resource CPU Usage With Details of what applications running. is it possible?

Question

I have azure vm and I saw that last week there was a CPU load of >90% . how do i know what application is consuming a lot of cpu

is it possible to get cpu resource usage in the past with details of what applications are running at that time?
if possible, what should be done?

Answer 1

There are two ways to do it.

1. Collect information locally. Run perfmon and create a user data set for all process (% Processor Time -> All instances).
   2. Collect information remote. You can use Azure Monitor Logs. But it requires lot of steps (Workspace, Agent installation, Solution or custom report) and for single VM I'd use the first one.
