virtualbox.org

Hi all,

I think I already know the answer may be 'no', but, is it possible to differentiate which VirtualBox is taking up all the CPU resources (assuming there is more than one VirtualBox running) without actually stopping it?

The reason I ask is because at the moment I have 6 VirtualBoxes running and one of them is using up a lot of CPU and I'd like to know which one without shutting them all down one by one. In this instance I will, but I wondered if there was a way to do this without shutting them all down to find out which one is the culprit as in Task Manager, they are all names VirtualBox.exe

If anyone knows, please let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Depends on which Windows OS but the task manager should show you or resource monitor. You could install sysinternals suite as well.

Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

You could temporarily Pause them one by one to see which one is the rogue one.

I was ideally looking for a way to do it without disrupting them all.

What would the sysinternals suite give me? I'll see what I can find out online...

Thanks for info so far, if anyone has any other info... Thanks

Perry's suggestion about Sysinternals is spot on, Omega. Use Process Explorer:
When you hover the mouse over one of the Virtualbox.exe's, the tooltip pop-up shows the name and UUID of the guest. Hover over the guest using the CPU...

That's fantastic guys, many thanks for your input, just what I needed!

Thanks again for your time!
