You can view the information that follows:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
|
Process name |
The image name of the application. This can be used as a parameter in system programs, such as the TASKKILL.EXE command on Windows systems. |
|
Process ID |
This is unique to each process running on the system, and can be used as a parameter in system programs, such as the TASKKILL.EXE command on Windows systems. |
|
Memory Usage (MB) |
The current size of the working set of the process. |
|
Virtual Memory Size (MB) |
The current memory allocated to this process that cannot be shared with other processes. |
|
Virtual Address Space (MB) |
The current size of the total address space of the process. Note: A process is limited to 2GB of address space no matter how much free RAM may be available. |
|
Processor % |
The percentage of CPU time that the process is currently consuming. This is an instantaneous result. |
|
CPU User Mode % |
The percentage of CPU time that the process is currently consuming in user mode. (User mode is a restricted processing mode designed for applications, environment subsystems, and integral subsystems.) |
|
CPU Kernel Mode % |
The percentage of CPU time that the process is currently consuming in privileged mode. (Privileged mode is designed for operating system components and allows direct access to hardware and all memory.) |
|
Elapsed Time |
How long it has been since the process was started. |
|
User |
The owner of the process on the Windows Server. |
|
Process Affinity |
For systems with multiple CPUs, this shows the CPUs that are permitted to run the current process. Process Affinity Dialog |
|
Services |
The services (if any) associated with the current process. |
|
Handles |
The overall number of resources that the process currently has open. A handle is a value used to uniquely identify a resource so that a process can access it. |
|
Threads |
The number of active threads in the process. A thread is a process execution unit. |
|
Priority |
The priority of the process. Process priorities range from 1 to 31, and are dependant upon what the process is currently executing. Processes started in "Real Time" mode run with a priority of 16 to 31, whereas processes with "High", "Normal" or "Low" settings run in a priority range of 1 to 15. |
|
Page Faults/s |
An instantaneous view of how many page faults are occurring for the process. |
|
Reads/s |
Shows the number of IO reads (such as hard disk reads and memory reads) being performed by the process. |
|
Writes/s |
Shows the number of IO writes (such as hard disk writes and memory writes) being performed by the process. |
|
IO/s |
Shows the number of IO accesses (such as hard disk reads and writes and memory reads and writes) being performed by the process. |
