Error caught while calling pidusage; Error: Error: spawn wmic ENOENT

What's going wrong?

from .pm2/pm2.log:

15:01:41 PM2      | Error caught while calling pidusage
15:01:41 PM2      | Error: Error: spawn wmic ENOENT

How could we reproduce this issue?

pm2 start pm2.json
pm2.json

{
  "apps": [
    {
      "name": "portalogic-data-service",
      "script": "./app.js",
      "watch": false,
      "max_memory_restart": "256M",
      "output": "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/logs/portalogic-data-service-out.log",
      "error": "C:/inetpub/wwwroot/logs/portalogic-data-service-error.log"
    }
  ]
}

The solution for me was to add the wmic folder to the Path:

%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem
