# Programmatically access the data from the Parallel Kernel Status window

I want to show the parallel kernel status within a notebook, and not in the separate Parallel Kernel Status window.

How can I programmatically access the Performance Measurements data shown in the Status window?

• Are you simply looking for ParallelDeveloperKernelStatus[] (try it) or do you want to get the actual numbers? – Szabolcs Dec 15 '16 at 8:15
• Wow!! The problem is solved easily this way !! Thank you. – user21427 Dec 15 '16 at 8:20

To show the status inline within a notebook (and not a separate window), first trigger loading the parallel tools:

Parallelize;


The evaluate

ParallelDeveloperKernelStatus[]


If you need to know how each column in this table is computed, take a look at

<<GeneralUtilities

PrintDefinitions["ParallelStatusPrivateremoteStatus"]


It is in fact TimeUsed that's being reported.
