Process

Monitors processes for CPU and memory usage on remote machines.

notitie

Overview​

This event monitor oversees the processes running on remote machines, focusing on overall CPU and memory usage as well as specific processes. It ensures that these processes are running efficiently without consuming excessive resources.

info

Use Cases​

  • Resource Management: Detecting processes that are excessively consuming memory or CPU time.
  • Process Count Monitoring: Monitoring the number of processes running at any given time.

Monitoring Options​

Connectivity Alerts​

  • Device Contact: Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if PIM+ could not contact the selected device.

Process Count Alerts​

  • Running Processes: Alert based on the number of processes running that trigger each level of alert.

Resource Usage Alerts​

  • Total CPU Usage: Alerts based on the total CPU usage of all processes.
  • Specific CPU Usage: Alert if [any process|this process] is using more than a specified percent of CPU time.
  • Total Memory Usage: Alerts based on the total memory usage of all processes.
  • Specific Memory Usage: Alert if [any process|this process] is using more than a specified amount of memory.

Process Presence Alerts​

  • Process Presence: Alert with [Info/Warning/Error/Critical] if specified processes are found to be running or not running. Specify multiple processes by separating them with commas.

Additional Monitoring​

  • Process Instance Threshold: Only warn if more than [#] instances of a process are found.
  • Process List in Notifications: Include a list of running processes in all notifications to help select exact process names for monitoring.

Data Retrieval Methods​

  • WMI: Use this option to retrieve process data if performance counters are unavailable.
  • Performance Counters: Default method using Windows performance counters.

SSH Configuration​

  • SSH Port Number: Default is 22. Specify a non-standard port if necessary.

Authentication and Security​

  • PDH: Requires the account to be a member of the Performance Monitor Users group or have admin rights.
  • WMI: The account must be a member of both the Performance Monitor Users and the Distributed COM Users groups, or possess admin rights.
