TN AppSvr104 Capturing CPU load in Archestra script

Description

When a computer has a platform deployed to it you can usually monitor the CPULoad by simply looking at the CPULoad field for the platform in question. An alternative approach would be to use a performance counter to get a view into the CPULoad. The script below is an example of how this can be done.

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
LogMessage( "CPU usage: " + cpuCounter.NextValue()+"%");
