    Yogeshwaran, You use this in conjunction with a monitor set. Create a new monitor set or use one of the existing prebuilt monitor sets to watch the CPU usage of the system. Set the threshold level & duration you want (eg. over 90% usage for 60 seconds) and set the action when this threshold is broken to run this agent procedure. This will capture all the processes currently running and how much CPU and memory they are using, so you can see what's causing the High CPU usage.

    By Default the procedure uses the the "getFile" action to store the process information on the Kaseya server and associated with the particularly endpoint. When you receive the email alert,  you need to open quick view for the agent indicated by the alert and go to the "Get File" section. The output of the script will be listed there. The Output will also be overwritten each time the script is run, so only the latest output is available.

    If you wanted the process information available in an email as well, you would need to modify the procedure to send an email with the file contents, but this would be separate to the email generated by the monitor set. ie. Monitor set is triggered, sends email  alert & Executes the procedure to capture the process list, procedure runs and emails the process list. So you end up with two email for the one alert. 

    As stated above though, you will need to modify the procedure to achieve this.

    I don't have a pdf guide, but the Help File on then "Manage Files" section of the "Schedule/Create" Agent Procedures menu should point you in the right direction.
