Hi Mack, firstly, no need to start a new thread:

> [@High CPU Usage, PLC Comm Issue, Resource Monitor](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/high-cpu-usage-plc-comm-issue-resource-monitor/54153):
>
> Ignition 7.8.3, Windows Server 10, Enterprise. We are having PLC connection issues that are causing the CPU utilization to gradually increase and eventually cause loss of functionality. It has been noticed that logging onto the server and launching the Resource Monitor causes the CPU utilization to decrease significantly back to “normal”. Can anyone provide any insight into why we might be seeing this? Thanks, Mack

Secondly, your image has no reference.

```auto
from java.lang.management import ManagementFactory
bean = ManagementFactory.getOperatingSystemMXBean()
print bean.getSystemCpuLoad() * 100.0

```

Run the above in a gateway timer script, dedicated threading, create a memory tag and write to it. Then you can view from the client.

From your previous thread you have been advised that the best route forward is to upgrade your hardware (server), Ignition Version, and server OS (Windows Server 2012 R2) as all are out of support.
