winwmi

Sample code to get WMI metrics from a Windows system using Go.

This is really just a simple layout on how it's done. It would need to be taylored to capture what's needed.

The metrics captured are helpful in system right-sizing for a cloud migration from on-prem to Azure or AWS (for example).

These are the basic metrics that are needed for clound migration.

Cloud Metrics

• Currently Configured

  • Configured CPUs
  • Processor Speed
  • Configured RAM (GiB)
  • OS Type and Level

• Trend Over Time (5-minute samples minimum)

  • CPU Used (%)
  • CPU Used (#)
  • CPU Demand (VMware)
  • Active memory
  • Consumed Memory
  • File cache memory
  • Storage Capacity Total
  • Storage Capacity Used
