Monitoring WMI "_Total" Instance

Is it possible to monitor the "_Total" instance for a given counter? For example, if you open Perfmon and select the "Processor" Performance object and then choose "% Privileged Time" your given a list of processor cores to choose from. In my case this is 0-3, as well as the total (_Total) across all cores. I'd like to know if it's possible to monitor the "_Total" instance for WMI counters using APM 2.0.

You can use AppBuilder to browse to a server and select _Total or you could just use this WQL Query when you create the monitor:

SELECT PercentPrivilegedTime FROM Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Processor WHERE Name='_Total'

Thanks! That worked great. Sorry I didn't use the AppBuilder, but it's never successful for me when I attempt to create a WMI Performance Counter. APM just times out
