PerformanceCounterCategory myCat = new PerformanceCounterCategory("Thread");
PerformanceCounter counter = new PerformanceCounter("Thread" , "% Processor Time");

instance = myCat.GetInstanceNames();

foreach (string threadInstance in instance)
{
if (threadInstance.Contains("sqlservr"))
{
counter.InstanceName = threadInstance;
