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

There are a couple of ways to run this.

Both require that you have Go installed on your system.

Clone the repo and run:

git clone https://github.com/vgcrld/winwmi.git
cd winwmi
go run main.go

If you have go installed and configured on your windows system simply run the following command to create the binary.

go install github.com/vgcrld/winwmi@HEAD
