I am trying to get CPU usage of a remote server in the same network. I don't know what configuration needs. I have used PerformanceCounter. If I check with my pc, its giving CPU usage. But when I check with a remote server, it's saying Access deny.

What I have tried:

private PerformanceCounter cpuCounter = null;
cpuCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total", machineName);
                //ramCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available MBytes", String.Empty, machineName);
                ramCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "% Committed Bytes In Use", String.Empty, machineName);
                pageCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Paging File", "% Usage", "_Total", machineName);
                // there can be multiple network interfaces
                nicCounters = GetNICCounters();
                // for each nic card, create a corresponding status bar label
                for (int i = 0; i < nicCounters.Length; i++)
                { ssStatusBar.Items.Add(GetNICLabel(nicCounters[i], i)); }

The account your code is running under probably doesn't have the required access. I assume it probably needs admin access on the remote machine. By default your .net code is running under a very restricted account, you'd need to change it to an account with the right access, which would be a massive security risk in itself. An alternative would be to run that code on a different process such as a webservice or similar that is configured to have the right access and your web code then calls that service to get the data.
