Purpose

The Processes dashboard provides a summary of CPU and memory usage by process, as well as a table of process details. If a host does not have process data (for example, because it is monitored by a virtual agent which does not collect process data), then it is possible to create an agent to monitor processes directly from this drill-down view.

How to get here

Click Explore on the top-right corner of Resource Utilization, and then click Processes on the top-left corner of the display area.

Description of embedded views

This dashboard is made up of the following embedded views:

This view displays how the CPU resources are being used based on the following:

AVG CPU. The average amount of CPU resources spent by the process.
Change/hr. The change in the usage of CPU resources.
Process Name. The name of the process.
Trend. A sparkline indicating the change in the usage of CPU resources.

This view displays the cumulative CPU usage by processes over time. It shows the total process load on the selected system.

This view displays how the memory resources are being used based on the following:

AVG Memory. The average amount of memory resources spent by the process.
Change/hr. The change in the usage of memory resources.
Process Name. The name of the process.
Trend. A sparkline indicating the change in the usage of memory resources.

This view displays the memory usage by processes over time. It shows the load on memory for processes on the selected system.

This view lists all running processes on a given host. The list is sortable, filterable, and allows you to do process searches.

Process Name. The name of the process.
Instances. The number of running process instances.
CPU Usage, Average. The average percentage of CPU resources that the process is using.
CPU Usage, Time. The average amount of time the process is running.
Memory, Average. The average percentage of memory resources that the process is using.
Memory, Swap Size (Avg). The average amount of memory swap space this process has in one or more paging files.
Memory, Working Set Size. The amount of memory currently allocated to this process.
Memory, Virtual Size (Avg). The current size of the virtual address space of this process.

This view lists all user-defined processes running on a given host. The list is sortable, filterable, and allows you to do process searches.

Process Name. The name of the process.
Command Line. The Command Line works with the Process Name to filter out process instances, as needed.
Expected Process Count. The number of expected process instances.
Matched Process Count. The number of running process instances that match the user-defined process name and command line.
